Oxycodone Forums (Page 178)

Hi, I'm scripted 2 5/325 mg oxycodone 4 x daily, just had urine test with results of 128 ng/ml oxycodone. & 400 ng/ml oxymorphone. Dr. Is out of town so I am seeking info if these results r ok, to low/high. Any references available? ## Unfortunately no, such information isn't made public and there are many, many factors that go into figuring your appropriate level. It isn't just based on the prescribed amount and dosing frequency. Your overall health, metabolism, body weight, activity levels and many other things also go into figuring out what your levels should be. Learn more drug test details here. Are there any other questions? ## A friend of mine is taking percocet did not take any for about 10 days (she won' t tell me why she did this) she went to her dr. for pa...

krhgaI am really sorry that there is a drug shortage going on in Florida. I wonder whats really going on. ## In regards to the "drug shortage" going on in Florida, there's actually an active thread on here with over 500 responses in and around this topic. If you're interested in browsing through the details that others have mentioned, I went ahead and posted the link below: /Discuss/2012-Oxycodone-30mg-Shortage-In-Florida-229262.htm I'm not quite sure if anyone knows precisely what's going on there, but I hope this helps!

how well do they seem to work ## Oxycodone is a very potent and effective narcotic analgesic, but how they work for you depends on a number of factors. If you're already tolerant to narcotics and require higher doses, then you may not get much pain relief from such a low dosage. Learn more Oxycodone details here. However, if you don't take narcotics on a regular basis, they may work very well for you. I took a break from taking any of them for several years and now I get great relief from the 5mg Oxycodone again, when needed. Are there any other questions or comments?

Do pharmacys know when oxycodone is due to be delivered ## Hi Kat, It is my theory that pharmacies DO know when any specific medication is going to be delivered. I say this because it is in their power to order these drugs in bulk from various manufacturers or distributors. Although I'm not fully aware of what goes on behind the scenes at any given pharmacy, this is apparent to me because they have to order the medication from somewhere and then charge more for it than they paid the manufacturer. There would be no need for drug manufacturers if pharmacies made their own medications. I hope this perspective helps!

I have had my prescription for over four weeks now and have been everywhere from fort pierce to south stuart, few places in Miami called "greenwall pharmacy" and few cvs. I have heard every excuse in the book as to why they won't fill my rx. My doctor has insurance that I can get through mail order but I can't afford it. I have heard Gardens rx in west palm beach or Prescriptions by mail would fill it but I live in Martin county, my Dr. is in Fort lauderdale, so I basically need to find a pharmacy that won't price gouge $10 per until I can get the insurance. And FYI for everyone having trouble filling your rx like me then you can try Walgreens mail order you just need insurance. ## As far as getting a discount on your prescription, this site does offer a "Free Pr...

i take a combination of 80 mg oxycodone daily broken down to (2) 20 mg oxycontin and (4) 10 mg oxycodone Because oxycodone is covered by my insurance and oxycontin is not entirely, I want to medicate with all oxycodone. I can only get oxycodone in 10 mg. What is the best way to take this medication. Thank You ## Oxycontin is just a brand name for Oxycodone in a time released formulation, so you've already been medicating with all Oxycodone. Learn more Oxycodone details here. The only different between it and the 10mg you've been taking is that the 10mg is a regular release, so it doesn't last 12 hours, like the Oxycontin is designed to do. To switch, you should talk to your doctor to figure out the best dosing schedule for you to use, so the regular release Oxycodone gets co...

does anyone know any ohio pharmacys that fill florida oxy scripts ## Unfortunately, it is very doubtful that you're going to find one that will do so. With all of the new regulations in place, pharmacies have to be very careful and most will not fill any prescriptions for controlled substances that come from outside of a certain local radius. Learn more Oxycodone details here. In many areas people are even having trouble getting them filled locally. Do you have prescription insurance? If so, then you may do better asking them if they have a preferred mail order pharmacy, as that will likely garner your better luck for getting them filled.

by the way i live in warren ohio ## Are you trying to find a place to get a prescription filled, is that what you're asking? If so, the best advice I can give anyone is to contact their insurance company to see if they have a mail order pharmacy that they recommend. That seems to be the only way that many people have been able to get theirs filled for quite awhile now. Learn more Oxycodone details here.

I can't get a straight answer from my local Vero Beach Walgreens Pharmacy as to WHEN the will have my Oxycodone 30mg IR Medication delivered & in STOCK to fill my Rx. Is there any online info to find out so I can get there before they tell me they ran out again? It makes it very hard since they will not accept my Rx & keep it until meds are delivered and fill my RX. CRAZY that real patients with REAL pain & no Insurance have to SUFFER! Plus ton add insult to injury,some pharmasist are very rude & unhelpful,they act judgmental!! ## Unfortunately, you've really no recourse, they don't have to tell you anything, or fill your prescription, since this isn't considered a life-sustaining medication. I am very sorry for what you're going through, there are a ...

does this drug cause weight gain? Oxycodo Acetamino ## Oxycodone and Acetaminophen are the active ingredients in Percocet, which is a narcotic pain reliever and no, by itself, it isn't actually known to cause weight gain as a side effect. Learn more Percocet details here. When it comes to most analgesics, rather than causing weight gain themselves, weight gain occurs due to a person being more sedentary, when they're in pain. Many people are afraid of being in pain and don't realize that exercise can actually help relieve it, so they gradually slow down and stop doing their normal activities. Are there any other comments or questions?

Im 100% disabled. I was forced to switch doctors at the VA and my new doc says that only a person who has cancer should get pain meds, how ignorant. I know of a dr. Cohen (he's out of buisness. The pain relief centers wont see me because I had a dwi 3 yrs ago. Does anyone know where else to look in Mn?? If not Mn how about a nearby state. I heard there were a couple of compassionate docs in Milwaulkee area but I lost tract of there names?? I heard Fl is a bust??? ## I am not sure what having a DWI has to do with getting medical treatment, the doctor's wouldn't even know you were charged with one, if you didn't tell them. If you were injured in an accident, it should be in your medical records as just a car accident. Learn more pain management details here. The best sugge...

does anyone have information about $400 yearly insurance program that uses mailorder to fill oxy scripts. ## That's not very much information for anyone to go on and have an idea of what insurance program you're talking about. Are you meaning that you're looking for some type of insurance that won't cost more than $400 a year? Or have you seen something about a specific company that charged that? Learn more Oxycodone details here. ## i was told that there is a company that charges $400 per year for insurance, then charges .88 cents per oxy 30 to fill them. this is all done through mailorder.

I have a prescription for Oxycodone 5mg tablets, some have M and 05|32 the others have just K|18 are these all the same pills, and just have different manufacturers? My drug store is closed, so I can't ask them. Please let me know asap if you can. Thank you. ## K 18 is KV Tech's Inc Oxycodone 5 mg ## Yes, Rb is correct, it is also 5mgs of Oxycodone. Pharmacies sometimes do this when they run out of those from one manufacturer. They probably found a different supplier this time, who has a cheaper product. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Read more: Do you have any other questions? ## They suck don't work the same
