Looking For A Pharmacy To Fill My 150 30/mg Oxycodone (Page 3)

Updated

I went to 13 pharmacies in La to fill my prescription and every pharmacy told me they were back ordered and a couple told me they dont carry it because they have been robbed. Ive never had trouble filling it where I live in the Bay Area but I'm down here for the month. I will run out of medicine tomorrow, does anyone know regular pharmacies anywhere near la who usually stock this.

I am here in Burbank, Ca. I have been having trouble getting 30mg 150 tabs. My regular CVS who I have had to build a relationship with pharmacist for 2 yrs has been kind to me ever since I have proved I'm not a junkie, thief, or all of the other things they rate you on to whether they will give it to you. This wk I have been told they are on back order and they will order but they don't but cant promise me when they will come in. I like most of you am suffering right now. I have not had meds in 3 days and I feel so sick. I went to every pharm from Barsto to San Diego. HELP.

It's a damn shame that the pharmacies are now deciding who gets their meds and who doesn't. If a doctor prescribes it and the insurance will cover it, then the pharmacy should just do their job, but they don't. They treat everyone in chronic pain like they are criminals....it's a disgrace. I'm sick and tired of being looked at like I'm doing something wrong because my doctor and surgeon have decided that this is the best route for my case.

Todd, have a group of chronic pain people here, who we all are treated like street criminals every month when we go to fill our pain meds. This shabby treatment has been going on for several years now, so I don't believe it will stop. The attitude seems to be that since we are "junkies" we will put up with any treatment necessary to get our "dope". Only answer I can see to the treatment, is to fill out a complaint form with every pharmacy with the individuals name who treated you badly. I've done that at Kroger and Safeway.

(My own fault )It's always something

Hey Great that you were able to find a pharmacy. Just wanted to say how absolutely right you are about the pharmacy being located in the rear of any major chain store., (well except for our Walmart, who doesn't carry the drugs I need LOL). I am sometimes in almost unbearable pain on the day I fill my prescriptions. I get EXACTLY enough pills to make it to "fill day", with 1 pill for that morning, by the time I make the pharmacy, it's wearing off.
My doctor writes "fill as written", my insurance company will not pay for substitutes and in some cases a generic, but I have a monthly problem, as every pharmacy for the past two years keeps trying to sneak in KVK Tech products on me, which I can not take.

Cant do that in Tulsa for some reason. Been going to same pharmacy for 11 years. Been on Oxy for 6 years never abused them or filled early but my pharmacist said the DEA is only allowing pharmacies a certain amount, no matter what there normal sales have been. So after 11 years had to go elsewhere to get it filled. Started having luck at a Walmart on the other side of town. Don't understand why it takes Walmart two hours to fill a script at 9AM when I am the only customer, but I am at their mercy. However DR's seem to be doing away with people now that UA's are given. My DR. , You come up dirty your out. LUCKILY, my original pharmacy have been able to fill my Oxy script the last three months in a row. In two days it will be time to get new scripts and I just pray they can fill it. I feel like a doper running from place to place to get Oxycodone filled..Everyone seems to always have my Fentanyl patches in stock, and they are about the strongest pain meds you can get, and a very dangerous medication if you don't know what you are doing.DEA AND FDA need to butt out and stop hounding those of us who truly live every day of there life in severe pain.

Many people do abuse it for the high and they end up OD'ing and it makes it rough for those of us who take it as prescribed..WARNING- If you have taken Oxy for a while you do not want to run out and have to go cold turkey. A living hell will endure.

You seem to be having the same sort of problems I am having. As of May I am taking Opana ER 20mg and Oxycodone 10mg. As I no longer take the 30mg Oxycodone, I thought my problems with filling my prescriptions may get better. Wrong!! My insurance company suggested that my doctor put me on Morphine or on Fentanyl patches. No !! Much stronger than where I am now.

Where are you located at and how long have you been prescribed them for? and what's the quantity amount? I was prescribed 240 30 mg roxis or oxycodons for 5 years and just recently was able to get off them. Most places wouldn't fill the 240 and would look at me like a junkie and treat me like one not knowing my pain leave and nor my reasoning's for needing them that's why HIPPA was put in place anyways lol. If your in the LA area I know 2 places that usually have them If you haven't already gotten them filled. The issue is everywhere is supposedly only allowed x amount each month and that their has been a shortage on compounds for over 2 and half years, right? But just let me know and ill try to help you find a place to get them filled and keep them filled for you. Email is {edited for privacy}.

re: CO SUZIE, If at all possible, DO NOT get on the Fentanyl patch. It is destroying my life and I take ALL medication as prescribed. The patch helped me for pain but just like any narcotic the body builds up a tolerance. DR. gives me 10 patches per month, change it every three days. But the patches are empty and fall of me after two days, my body temp. runs a bit higher than the average person and that causes the patch to release medication faster than normal *thats what I was told when I called the drug manufacturer at least. So for two days I can function, but day 3 is hell, and I already start dreading day 3 on day 2. On the third day I just have to remain in bed or on the sofa mostly due to the withdrawal pain. The drug maker said 30% of the patch users must change it after 48 hours and they advised me to take in the instruction sheet thats inside every box which states just that. My pain management DR. didn't want to hear it, (giving me 15 patches instead of 10 a month) so he gave me a script for Clonidene , a BP med and also he said for withdrawals. NOW ITS NOT like I would be taking more meds, I simply would be replacing the old patch.

TO be fair with the doc, he told me to take more of my oxy's on day 3 which sounds ok except if I did that I would run short of those before 30 days are up till I get my next script. BUT THATS ALL BESIDES THE POINT. I have spoken to other patients in his waiting room who take the patch and others on forums like this and everyone seems to agree that this med has made them much more moody, much more ready to argue about silly things that they would never have been the type to argue, myself included. IN MY OWN DEFENSE, the DR. never explained to me that this was pretty much a med that you will probably be on the rest of your life, as it keeps opiates in your blood 24 hours a day....WOE IS YOU 5 or 6 hours after the last of it leaves your body....

Take the morphine tabs if needed take anything that would keep you off of this mess. I had never even heard of Fentanyl so when he prescribed it, stupid me just took it blindly, without doing any research on it. Hopefully I can open someones eyes and they keep off this mess. It has nearly cost me my life just from depression. I would not wish what my mind goes through due to this medication on anybody....AVOID, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.

Stan,
Thank you for the warning on the Fentanyl patches. Fentanyl patches and straight out morphine, both seem like powerful pain killers that I don't think I'm ready for with my pain level. It kind of amazes me that the insurance company would suggest it. I don't think the insurance company has suggested the change to help me with my pain, I think they want to save a few dollars. Yet that doesn't compute with me either, because I would think Fentanyl patches would be much more expensive than Opana ER.

A friend was explaining to me that the insurance companies are now involved in the purchase and distribution of medications. That it just isn't the medications that they are providing to their insured through their mail order pharmacy, but that they are involved with actual purchase, warehousing, and distribution of all sorts of other medications. Kind of like trading barrels of oil or pork belly. The friend didn't explain enough for me to understand how the insurance companies would be making money on this, unless it's to do with major purchases affect nationwide pricing. Have you heard anything about insurance companies doing this? The friend said that if the insurance company has purchased a large amount of the fentanyl patches (at a reduced price), warehoused, then resold to a pharmacy chain at a higher price, so they are pushing doctors to write the prescriptions?

I'm going to do a 2nd post to you, cause I don't want to write a post as long as a book LOL

I've been told to take an extra oxy when needed also LOL, The humor is exactly what you said, I got exactly enough pills for 30 days, if I take an "extra", where did the "extra" come from? So I can spend the last day or maybe two of the 30 day cycle in absolute misery?
The "Pharmacy Game" is what I've named it now. I have no trouble getting my Opana ER 20mg. My problem is with oxycodone. I took the 30mg for years and am now down to 10mg for breakthrough pain, but have the same problems as I did with the 30mg when it's time to get my prescription filled. I can not take oxycodone manufactured by KVK Tech. I put on all my paperwork that I am allergic. The pharmacies all seem to be pushing KVK Tech products. I've been having this problem for two years now, trying to get an oxy manufactured by a company other than KVK Tech.
I call KVK Tech oxy, the "poison pills" LOL. They don't relieve my pain (may as well take nothing), they affect my mind in a horrible way. I get like you described with the Fentanyl, I am moody, ready to argue about any small thing, I can't think straight, it's just horrible, and then I started getting bladder infections. Results of no pain relief and being crazy, I spend most of my life in bed when I am taking the "poison pills".
I live in a mountain area and there are three pharmacies within 25 miles. None of the three are able to provide oxycodone except the KVK brand. So I've been driving to the nearest larger city 70 mile trip, to an independent pharmacy, which for about 3 months had a different brand, boom, this past month KVK (they may have something different sometime in September LOL), so what do I do at prescription time this week LOL.
The "Pharmacy Game", I found another independent pharmacy (70 mile trip also) to use this week, with no promises that they will have anything other than KVK. Brands are top secret, because I have to drive to the pharmacy to get the information. No one wants to talk on the phone. Oh, then on my way home, I stop at my doctor's office to update my pharmacy information, because that's part of my drug contract, then get to explain to them again, why a different pharmacy AGAIN.

What is the deal with filling a script a legit dr wrote for legit pain. Had surgery And my urethra had twisted and my pain is beyond extreme. Waiting to have it fixed. So my doc has written oxy 30 for my pain. What the hell with these pharmacies. Say they have it. Them they don't. Playing games. Why woulda doc wrote a script nobody has. Makes no sense. Them they shouldn't write it. Now Home dying In pian. Hosp won't help me cause I've been there Andy history now shows to many narcs on list. But it was for botched surgery. And have MRI and cat scan to show. Bit it doesn't matter. I'll be sent home with nothing. Have a useless script. Wife going to doc on morning to have it changed to something else I'd rather have something them nothing. The pain is unreal and I'm sick of the fact that celebrities screwed everything thing up for real PLp who have real pain. The thing is they'll still get their pills. And we suffer. I'm right now sweating. Shaking. Nauseas. And in tears because not one pharmacy has pain meds what the hell I'm 2 second for. Going to hosp. Bit I know it wil be a waste of time. What's wrong with this country. I'm Not an addict. I had a botched surgery and have proof and don't understand why I'm being treated like this.

Sonny,
Hope you have gotten your script filled or the doctor gave you one for something other than oxy 30mg. Don't know what part of the country you are in, but I think the pharmacies are lying to you. I've been fighting the oxycodone battle for over 4 years now, and very seldom are the pharmacies out of oxycodone, and if they are it's only until they get the next day shipment. They play games with people, use all sorts of excuses that are lies, and then when they do fill the script, it has been with KVK Tech as the manufacturer. KVK Tech oxycodone is the absolute worse on the market and the pharmacies know that. Like I said, I hope you got something for your pain by now. The problems all of us are having are because the "druggies" are using legitimate medications to feel high, instead of just finding street drugs. If people want to be high, let them. But please, could they stop screwing up the legitimate process because they want to be high.

People on this thread are having the same sort of problems that are being talked about on the other threads. We are all having problems with getting medical care and pain medication. Those of us who are chronic and see no hope for ever being better, have nothing to work with except our pain management and our pain medications. When our medical care or our medications are taken away from us, we lose our ability to function.
