I've have have been on 30mg 6xday for 11yrs every 6months my NJ.Doc.would change this to another med.(avinza)or something else that worked.Then back to the 30mg.I never had a problem.I moved to FT.Myers 3months ago.with all my pain m... papers.I got new mri's and cat scans done so there would be no problems.There are problems!with this system.It's the doc.they know there is a problem,but they keep writing the same RX.then it's your problem.the pharmacy are robbing us blind.I can't afford 3-5 $$ a pill!they don't take insurance for oxycodone but take it for oxycontin?why is this?For people with real pain this isn't fair.what can we do to stop this.mess?anyone????15 pharmacy turned me away.So what can i do?

It really isn't necessarily the pharmacies, but what your insurance will and will not cover.

Have there been any changes in your coverage?

Have you tried contacting your insurance carrier to see if they cover it?

Many of them will also recommend pharmacies that you can use, which may help your situation.

And the reason some will cover Oxycontin, but not the other formulations that are available as generics, is due to the fact that the new formulation of Oxycontin is designed to help prevent abuse.
