Oxycodone Shortage In Florida 2012 (Page 4)
(Newest replies first)

Can a pharmacist just be quite and fill the script the doctor ordered for his patient.They lie to us and then fill freds script for the same thing and smile while they do it.We are tax paying citizens in pain and the DEA has made a real mess of everything. Real patients cant even get their meds.

"Shortages of pharmaceutical drugs pose a serious and growing threat to public health. While a very small number of drugs in the United States experience a shortage in any given year, the number of prescription drug shortages in the United States nearly tripled between 2005 and 2010, and shortages are becoming more severe as well as more frequent. The affected medicines include cancer treatments, anesthesia drugs, and other drugs that are critical to the treatment and prevention of serious diseases and life threatening conditions."

Wake up america. It is called problem reaction solution.THIS is a criminal gov. they flood the population with opiates, wait until everyone is addicted, and then crack down. IT is a way to control populations. These criminals must be stopped. I am a legitimate pain patient but I warned everyone that the data base is only the beginning.It is going to get worse unless we ban together. I say anyone who cannot fill their script should call in sick. Im sure there are millions of us. This has got to stop. If we keep letting these power hungry bastards get away with this, we will be doomed.

The whole country seems to be in a sort of bind in so far as normal patients being depicted as addicts and many who are unable to get their scripts filled no matter who they are or what they do.

I think petitions such as this one do significantly help; but the real question is, are they even going to do something about these complaints even with all the petitions floating around the net?

We should hope so, but knowing our government, that's all we can do at this point.

Your efforts are appreciated and I went ahead and signed the petition. Even though I'm not a patient, I support the legitimate ones. Good luck to you and everyone else out there fighting against this unfortunate situation.
