Looking For A Pharmacy To Fill My 150 30/mg Oxycodone (Page 4)

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.

You're as ignorant as every other all knowing i**** out there. It's obvious that you are not a chronic pain patient so STFU. these medications are life giving for countless patients out there and without them most of us cannot even shower let alone limp or crawl to the couch. You're a sick troll with a disgusting energy.

Seems as if the no med situation may be changing here in Tulsa. For the last 5 years the DEA and FDA have been hammering DR.'s about OXY. script writing. CBS news did a story on Tulsa's prescription drug abuse and OD's. We ranked as having the 4th most OD's for metro area's over 1 million people. That is when all hell broke loose and big brother started closing pain clinic all over the city. My pain management DR. IS also my family DR AND I started going to him about 10 years ago after I got tired of constantly playing games with my VA DR., and the VA hospital here. My Army helicopter was hit in Iraq and we had a crash landing in Desert Storm (Iraq war #1). I had enough injuries that I was at Walter Reed Army hospital for right at 1 year having surgeries and relearning how to walk. Needless to say I am disabled but can walk with a limp. ANYWAY, since I have metal plates keeping my back together and 2 new metal knees (Stryker brand) and other things I must take pain meds. Pharmacy that I had went to faithfully for every med, not just pain meds started telling me about 3 years ago that they WERE OUT when I would bring my scripts in every month. There is a Wall Mart less than a mile from my DR.'s office my DR. told me to go there. They had OXY. 30 every month, but still had BP, diabetes, PTSD AND XANAX that I would still take to my regular pharmacy to get filled. I know the owner of my regular pharmacy pretty well, first name basis (after going there for 10 years I would hope so.lol.) but decided to call him and ask whats the deal? I informed him my doc was going to make me transfer my meds to W-MART so all scripts were at one place. I take about $1400 of different meds a month. I politely asked him on the phone about the whole situation and told him to be blunt with me, "that if he was withholding the Oxy. from me because he thought I was some junkie or if he thought I wasn't disabled and didn't need those meds to just man up and tell me," and I would stop bothering them every month to see if they had enough pills to fill my script since there has never been any problem filling my Fentanyl patches which is way stronger than Oxy. 30mg or 2MG Xanax was always in stock.

He said that was not the case at all that they were irritated at the situation as well and now could get only so much each week. Anyway, with 7 or 8 pain clinics being forced to close plus my DR. got very strict, (ordered to by the DEA) changing his rules and adding more UA's which he had never done before (AND adding $30 to the bill for each UA.)and became very selective on new patients that he accepted from all the other clinics being shut down. He has kicked about 35% of his patients out for one reason or another, but I would guess failed UA's had a lot to do with it. I noticed on my last visit last week that there was a big sign telling everyone office visits have been raised in price by $35. That does not include the random UA which is still $30 each UA. VA pay's mine so no worry. I don't do street drugs or scripts that aren't mine so the ones that never come up dirty only take a AU but about every 6 months. BUT, knock on wood, I, have been able to get all my scripts filled including my 150 Oxycodone 30mg tablets filled at my original pharmacy for about the last 7 months in a row...wow. I personally feel like he had enough oxy the whole time, only selling to those that had cash so he could charge the retail price to customers and would tell people like myself who had insurance they were on order. I noticed one time on my monthly insurance paperwork that would be mailed to me that the INSURANCE company paid about $63 less for my oxy. script than those paying with cash.. INTERESTING, but God, I hope I am wrong, as he seems to be a GOOD man, and makes money left and right as his pharmacy is only about 200 yards from a major hospital and a 24 story tall DR.'s office building. But also since OD's and arrest are down a little he has had my script every month. Doesn't make sense that he would stop selling to me then start again but the demand from non writing doctors and docs like mine who will only prescribe OXY 30 to those that have metal in their body from operations or have cancer. As already stated my body is filled with medal-2 knee replacements, metal rod in my back, no failed UA's, so no worries here (yet). I am curious what my other crippled and hurting friends that frequent this board thinks.

Anyway, I think MY original pharmacy had the meds all along or were they on the up and up with me, demand just exceeded what the DEA would allow him to have. LASTLY, (lol) to the pharmacist defense, there was a time about 6-8 years ago that my girlfriend had been taking some of my meds behind my back and selling them, (took 3 years to get the truth from her) but I was ending up with 2 or 3 days worth of Oxy short. (I couldn't figure out how I was short) I had to go to the pharmacy to get some diabetes medication and he could tell something was wrong with me. Tremendous pain, was barely walking and he took me out in the hall and asked what was wrong and I told him I was out of pain meds with 2 days to go. He stood there a minute and asked how many would it take to get me by till I got my script. I was shocked. I told him I could get by with 5. He went back in, came back out with a bottle of 5 Oxy 30's, had me sign a paper saying he could take those 5 back 2 days later when I would be coming in with scripts to be filled. He simply said we couldn't make a habit of doing that as he could get in trouble which I already knew and have never asked anything from him again. Really didn't ask that time but I must have looked like death...So, he has a big heart to his regular customers. But till this day, I have wondered if I was getting the shaft when supplies were low so he could get full cash price, or was he being honest and he was truly out. As stated doesn't matter now since so many have been weeded out throughout this metro area and the meds are easier to get.

Sorry this was so long, but wanted to give both sides a equal and honest view. May our Lord and God be with and bring relief and some peace into the lives of those who are suffering with tormenting pain as you read this. You are certainly not alone. I pray nightly for all of you who are suffering, hurting and for those who feel hopeless from the crippling pain that runs its way through our bodies and our minds..........

I feel your pain. Im so sorry your going thru wds right now & I hope this helps. U said anything is better than nothing so I can tell u I was able to fill 120 10mg Percocets a on Oct 8 (a week & a half ago at Walmart on 10th St West in Palmdale, CA. I have MEDICARE but it still cost me $224 because theyre not contracted w my pain doctor who's in LA but it had to be done. The Percocets were only a substitute until I could get my Oxycontin OP 20 mg filled somewhere, somehow but that's the problem for me now..... NO ONE HAS THEM IN STOCK! I was lucky enough to have a pharmacist tell me over the phone that they havent had them in a while & that the manufacturers arent sending anymore out for some reason. Im staying w my parents in lancaster, my pain doc is in LA, & I dont drive. I dont want to find another Dr as I plan to go back to LA next month & an ignorant person would believe I should have enough to last me a long time but Im prescribed 1-2 tablets every 4 hrs.... Ive been able to stretch it out a little but Im down to about 3O left & even this little leftover frightens me that soon Ill have to go thru WDs also before finally getting my oxycontin filled. The only hope I have is reading a couple other posts that OPs are currently being replaced by OCs again as of the 17th of Oct. Is this true, Im not sure.... but it would make sense given what a pharmacy told me that OPs havent been in stock for awhile & that the manufacturers arent sending anymore out. The only frustration now is going thru this time of transition until there is a regular shipment of the originals again, considering the high demand/need & the long lines behind other patients w severe pain in which we'll all have to endure. I hope I have helped u tho in search for significant relief. God bless.

People all over the country are having very similar problems with getting medical care and our medications that we need to function daily. Marianne started a petition to let the lawmakers know that we are being impacted greatly by all the new regulations that they are imposing.

You will notice in the address line, that AZ is the state listed along with the federal legislatures. The other states will be added as the signatures are obtained so that all of us who sign, will have our state government contacted too. Please take a minute, click, sign and help all of us.

What places?? Any word on shipments for Oxycontin OP? Please help me w any info on that. I have to stop taking all medications w acetomenphen/ibuprofen incl. all blood thinners for 5 days before I can recieve epidurals & steroid injection in my spine asap, or I could end in a wheelchair again w severe chronic pain. I only have Percocets right now (which Im almost out of as well) & it has acetomenophen in it. I have a script for Oxycontin OP 20 mg but everywhere I go frm Lancaster, CA to Downtown LA says theyre either always out of it or dont carry it at all. Im living in lancaster,CA w my parents temporarily but my pain managemnt Dr. is over an hr away in downtown LA. I dont drive & my parents cant chuaffer me around frm one pharmacy to another. Im in a huge bind & don't know what to do or where to turn. Please if anyone has any info, let me know. Thank u.

Thank all of you who have signed the petition. Every signature is so important. Many of us can't function without our medication and it seems that if we don't get some people in power on our side, we are going to be without what we need.

Those of you who haven't signed. The petition link is in post 66, please click and sign. Truly, every signature counts so much.

I would like to personally thank the DEA for the flood of black tar H, oxycodones, somas, Xanax etc ... which is readily available 24/7 365 in every city & state in this great country of ours. I cannot thank you enough though your consistent threats and choking control over the entire medical community which specifically deals with the chronic pain sufferers. Your criminal agency had created a world of fear that led to doctors unwilling to treat us, plus pharmacies throwing our prescriptions back at us like were animals. Your corrupt and evil agency have single handily destroyed millions of legitimate chronic pain sufferers lives from obtaining their legal prescriptions. Congratulations on a job well done. I would also like to thank the DEA for the sudden rise in suicides associated with patients unable to obtain their 'LIFE GIVING" medications as now they are simply killing themselves. I applaud the work that you are doing to ensure that your agency is well funded as you are succeeding brilliantly in killing honest Americans simply because they have a condition called Chronic Pain. Thank you once again DEA for the huge supply of black market products available 24/7 365 days a year which alot of sufferers are turning too because you created a FAILED medical community. All brought to you by the DEA BRAVO !!!!

Im in the Antelope Valley but try stores w larger inventory like Costco & Sam's Club. I know u dont have to have a membership at Sam's Club either & if u'v gotten meds filled at WalMart then u'r already in their sytem. I, personally, got really tired of the pill popping rituals so I just recently switched to Fentanyl patches to break myself of that with the exception of break thru pain meds. Least Im counting pills alot less these days, so my plan seems to be working so far. Good luck!

the ticket is long acting meds. The short acting blue or yellow oxycodones are now impossible to find thanks to the DEA so you should try MS contin etc. Your wasting your precious time driving around looking for pharmacies that have them. The government has effectively shut down 85% of the pill mill pain clinic business. That party is over. it sucks bad; I know as it was great when you could actually get pain relief but too many d***** bags abused the system and sold their pills on the street; too many people as a result overdosed and many died. Now its either long acting morphine sulfate, duragesic patches or suboxone. Quit WASTING YOUR TIME LOOKING FOR LARGE dose oxycodone. Those days are gone.
