Mail Order For Pain Meds Fla.

Like everyone else I am having a hard time finding a pharmacy that will fill my pain medication, I live in Brandon near Tampa Fla. My Dr. will only give me certain meds because he is aware of the problems getting some meds filled. When I went to the pharmacy I asked him and he said the same thing, I then said I guess I could do a mail order for the meds the pharmacy won't fill and the pharmacist told me that it is illegal to get narcotic pain meds mailed in Florida. I just had a script filled by mail in March, does anyone know if they changed that law? I know a lot of new regulations went into effect April 1st. Like Dr. cannot up your dose or quanity of certain meds after 4/1, many other state and federal changed too that don't apply to pain meds but I am just concerned about having my meds filled in another state and mailed in to me...
Has anyone else had any problems with mail order?

HI, Gary! How are you?

As you said, there were some changed made as of April 1st, but I haven't been able to find information on all of them.

However, if it were me, I'd trust the mail-order pharmacy to know the relevant laws. Contact them and ask, if they say they can still mail them to you, then there should be no reason to worry, because they are the ones that have to be responsible for knowing where they can and cannot send controlled substances.

I wish I had an answer for you, but in spite of the searching I've done, I'm finding no clear cut information on this.

Hello, yes I've had problems filling just like everyone else. Then I found a WALGREENS that treated me AWESOME for 3yrs then my pain doc closed then reopened 3 months later I went back with my script and they would not fill. In those 3 months I took subutex from a doctor and filled at a PUBLIX so everything was all legit.
Then I heard from a friend that he was mailing them 1,000 miles away to a mail order pharmacy and having great results. So I tried and for the past 4 months no problems I'm so grateful and lucky that all has worked out. And to answer your question there is no law that says you cant do this. I also live in South Florida
