Nation Wide Methadone Shortage Mystery? (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Yes there is a shortage and not just Methadone, and it is being kept very quiet but this month every day more and more people are finding out. In Oregon South Coast there is not one pharmacy within 100 miles that has any. They were substituting 5mg but that is now gone also. The suppliers are not getting it or any answers as to why or when they will. Also, other narcotics as Vicadan and Norco, and some Attention Deficiet Disorders (Concerta) also are not there to reorder.

Someone needs to get this out ASAP to the public. Call any phamancy in Brookings Oregon, Golds Beach, to Coo's Bay and find its not a rumour.

I posted 2 sites 1, is the FDA that have all the drug shortages, the date, the reason, the companys and approximate dates, how long they have been on back order at the plant the majority of them are not narcotics, they are non Scheduled drugs. There is certain oxy's, roxys, dexies, and adderall and Ativans, out of probably over 100. Someone said, what is this Russia, What makes you think this country won't run into shortages, shortage of food, shortage of gas, of jobs, do you think we won't fail as a country because ????

I am very sorry that so many are miserable and having trouble finding their medications, but no, this site does not have any information on current shortages, nothing has been listed about it on the FDA site.

I've checked for any listing for all the narcotics I can think of and there is nothing, however, the manufacturers aren't actually required to list this information with the FDA.

My husband and I both have chronic pain, and we are having a hard time getting our 15 mg oxycodone scripts filled every month and every month it seems to be getting worse. The pharmacists said they do not know why , but it is very frustrating and they don't seem to understand that if you don't take it you go through withdrawal which is very painful and very dangerous, also. All because of people who abuse it, it affects the people who really need it for pain, which is so unfair. Every since Micheal Jackson died it seems to have gotten worse. I have heard that it is the DEA doing this. The pharmacists recommended that we both write to congress, the president and anyone else in politics who may can help. However, i feel that the politicians all only care about getting more money for themselves and more power. But I will try by writing and the more of us who write letters , the more it should help. Just like when the bank of america started charging for using your credit card, a lot of folks changed banks, and then the banks had to drop that idea, so there is "strenght in numbers"

I have chronic back pain, and my wife has fibermialgia, both of us are on methadone, I went to get my prescription filled yesterday at Walmart, and they told me that there was a back order, and had been for over two weeks. I was blown away. How can this happen. They told me that they called around a week ago and there was ONE pharmacy they found that had it in stock. Hopefully I can find one today.
