Norco Pain Pharmacy (Top voted first)

Every month I try to fill my norco 10 mg pain meds and every month the pharmacist tells me the same thing sorry we are not getting our order until next week! Well what do you do with the pain until then? I live in Waldorf mad and never had this problem in Fl

I get 120 10/325 Norco and I get them filled at Walgreens. The last time I got a script I had them filled and before I left the store I looked at the bottle; well this time they only filled it for 20 when it was for 120. this isn't the first time they tried cheating me out of pills so be careful with Walgreens. I am in TN. I don't know if all Walgreens are like this but I don't trust them.

THIS IS HAPPENING ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, especially if you are dealing with Walgreens. they have a secret filling policy and if they have told you no or denied to fill your script for whatever b.s. reason they tell . Those that are fortunate (in disguise fortunate . they will cause you problems i.e. calling your dr ) you can be lucky and they fill for you but their secret filling policy guides the pharmacy to stop filling controlled substances after 6 months. If you happen to change dr's they can deny you. my primary referred me to Pain Management so change of dr's oops red flag!! DENIAL NOW I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO FILL AT ANY OTHER wALGREENS. IT'S NOW IN YOUR PROFILE NOW I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE IN fLORIDA. i misunderstood your post what state are you in? If i were you i'd go to a mom and pop pharmacy . I wish you all the best. For us living in Florida this is not anything new. I feel like they got florida locked down and docs scared to write Norco/hydrocodone, whenn you get the prescription one can spend all day finding a pharmact that A. has it in stock #2 is willing to fill for you. another tip for you is to have the doc put your diagnosis on the scrip.. if you have anymore questions plz post back i can try and help as much as i can.

Everytime I see the word Walgreens...I see RED!!! It is my understanding, however, the reason they treat everyone with a pain script like an addict is due to the fact the company got into severe trouble with the DEA due to INTERNAL theft of pain medication...i.e., pharmacy employee theft. To perhaps eliminate getting into any more hot water with DEA, they have gone completely overboard??? There is a notice posted at our local store stating that, basically, just because you present a script doesn't necessarily guarantee they will fill it!

Where I live, there have been such a rash of pharmacy robberies since the October 2014 prescription guidelines for controls went into effect, that some pharmacies (not just Walgreens) no longer keep them in stock, but order them as they receive each prescription...less in store meaning less of a loss when robbed...

Why would your doctor have to put your diagnosis on your scipt?

Addicts have ruined the ability of us legit chronic pain patients to obtain proper care and pain management. It's bull$@#! to say the least. That's fine if they don't keep meds on hand because of theft, but if that's going to be the practice then the laws need to change that keep us from getting and filling our scripts no more than 24-48hrs before our current supply would run out. I got so tired of dealing with these types of issues along with the dirty looks, nasty comments and just plain being treated like a junkie because of my meds that I decided to get off my meds and just deal with the pain. It's ridiculous.

Same thing with the Walgreens here in the New Orleans metro area. I have 4 defective disks of varying degrees in my lower back from a 16 foot fall and subsequent hematoma and trauma, not to mention I have one leg thats an inch and a half shorter than the other from a car accident when I was 13.

I had been filling my percacets and fentanyl patches at Walgreens for 4 months, when I went back for the 5th month they told me they didn't have the fentanyl patch. I said ok, when will you be getting them in? They told me, never. That they didn't have them, and they never carried them, and never will. My head nearly exploded. I was like WTF do you mean you never had them? I've been filling my scrip here for them for the last 4 months. So I had to split pharmacies that month and go to CVS which will put a red flag on your record.

This is getting ridiculous for those of us with legitimate injuries and we need some
advocation on our part. Where is our voice? Who hears us?

Definately find a mom and pop pharmacy. You usually get quality pain meds from them. I've been going to one pharmacy for 6 years now and never had an issue. When my Dr. upped my Norco 10 mg to Percocet 10 mg I went to 26 different pharmacies with no luck in finding this med. So I went back to my pharmacy and lo and behold, they filled it. Thank God for mom and pop pharms. And they tend to always give quality meds.
