Opana - Hard To Get Prescription Filled
UpdatedIt is getting terrible about having your Opana and break thru meds filled. My pharmacy can't fill my because they can't order any more at this time because of the new rules. Last month I had to call and go to many places trying to get them filled but they didn't have any and the ones who could order it said it would take 5-7 days to receive them. I finally found one to fill them but FDA, DEA etc. are getting stupid about this. I was in a bad motorcycle accident and I can't help that I have the pain I have. You druggies have made it awful for people who really need help. I won't say what I am thinking. It wouldn't be nice.

I am very sorry that you are suffering and are having so much trouble getting your prescriptions filled.
However, the regulations aren't new, they are just being strictly enforced for the first time and, in addition that that, there is also almost always a shortage this time of year due to mandatory manufacturing limits.

Do you have insurance?
If so, then the best suggestion I can make is to contact them and see if they have a preferred mail order pharmacy that you can use. This has helped several people that were having problems getting their prescriptions filled.
I couldn't agree more! Over the past ten years I've gone through the agonizing treatments of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery in an all out battle against bilateral, stage four head and neck cancer. While I am blessed to be a survivor, the effects of the treatments and surgery have left me with radio necrosis, osteoarthritis, constant muscle spasms and chronic pain day in and day out. All of this beats the alternative and I'd willingly do it all again in a heartbeat. That being said, I have been on these very pain meds for 10.5 years and never have I experienced such difficulty, or should I say impossibility in getting my prescriptions filled. If, in fact, the government is making those who legitimately need these medications suffer in an attempt to curb drug abuse, then shame on the USA government. This country is better than that and can do better than that. So, for the moment, I choose to believe that it's a shortage, albeit an unreasonable shortage, caused by the drug(s) being reformulated. I can only pray that the manufacturers are on the verge of being caught up and this sort of mismanagement insanity never occurs again...where medical well being is concerned. Wishing you a Blessedly Happy New Year!
