There is some crazy mfgr shortage. Doc wont raise me up to 40s. Been on these things for a few years. Im really starting to get ticked off now. All pharmacys were out last month. And now still out. WTF?
Re: Aerial (# 25)
I responded to our last post. I was wondering if you seen it? I'm in n. Las Vegas.
Re: Dave (# 5)
Are you in Las Vegas area? I still get prescribed and fill every month the same ones as you.
Re: Dave (# 5)
Hey do you still get prescribed them? I know it's an old post. Sorry
Re: Aerial (# 22)
I guess like everyone I need help with a doctor. The one I was going to is no longer covered and the appointments are just costing too much. Plus I live in north Las Vegas. But I'm willing to drive. If you end up not needing all lol I Just need to get re-established. Let me know
Re: Leigh (# 21)
I haven’t got any messages on here at all, yes I finally found a dr and a pharmacy out here, THANK god. Thank you
Re: Aerial (# 20)
Hey did you find a doctor? I've messaged you a few times on here. Maybe we can help each other.
Re: Dave (# 5)
I know this is a old post but can you tell me which Dr you found out here to write these for you?
Re: Aerial (# 18)
Sorry, I can't tell you who or where my doctor is. It wouldn't help anyways, I live in Florida. As far as finding a spot to fill I just got REALLY lucky and fill at a major chain store where the girls there take great care of me and both pharmacist know me on a first name basis and they ALWAYS have my meds in stock never have to wait for them to order them. But the only suggestions I have for you is to try some mom and pop spots they usually can get or order anything and they make a repeat customer
Re: Rawdog (# 14)
Can you tell me which Dr and pharmacy you are going to please? I’m having a hard time finding a dr to continue writing me my oxymorphone 5at I’ve been on for years now and most pharmacies have never heard of them or can’t get them. Thank you
Switch meds, are you that ignorant? They have tons of pain pills available.
Re: Rleigh (# 15)
Have you tried this site's rx discount card at all? I know there's a price lookup tool where you can look up the drug and quantity of your prescription to see if there is any savings at nearby pharmacies. Please let us know if you have any luck.
Re: Rawdog (# 14)
I apologise for the duplicate message asking about the discount card. I have just had a hard time getting the cost down. I have insurance but it's been the biggest run around. But it seems to be getting clearer what it is that I need to do. I have been able to eliminate all other medications but the oxymorphone er. I have a Quality of life. Things are clear and pain managed. So it's scary when I don't know what each month holds.
Re: Rleigh (# 13)
Like I said I don't know of a discount card. I just filled my oxymorphone 30mg ER again at my pharmacy with no problems. I do have to re-apply for my 3 months of coverage again but my friend at the PM clinic takes care of it for me and always gets me taken care of. He is the best and does not take no s*** from these insurance companies, so I hope everything goes well again in a few days. Please keep me posted. Thank you.
Re: Rawdog (# 12)
Thank you for responding. I can't begin to imagine that someone else has gone through the ringer with insurance company covering this med. That's awful. But I'm finally set up with my doctor and my pharmacy but they are out of network and a single month cost me $400 after the massive amounts of discount cards. But if I have to ask 100 people in hopes they know of a great card or program I will. Without asking you too much, I'm a little surprised you've been able to aquire 3 months at a time? I'm hesitant to ask my Doc now because I think he likes the patient pay the monthly visit. But I can live with that. It's the $500 a month for one medication (and visit) that has changed my life. I have M.S. and in 2 years I have stopped all other medications. This helps control so much more than pain. My Anxiety is way down and my Chronic Migraine ( vision) are maybe 4-5 a month instead of double. So I ask if you come across a program, Discount card or know of a doctor who takes Health Plan of Nevada, or just a way to cut cost please message/post here
Re: Rleigh (# 11)
Hey sorry, but I don't know of a discount card for this med, doesn't mean there isn't one but I highly doubt it. I have insurance and I had to jump thru so many hoops to get this med approved. I mean stuff I've never even heard of before. I actually had the owner of the PM clinic help me out and step in and take over the process cause they were just asking way too many weird requests but I finally got them approved; but at 3-month intervals and I'm good till October. I have to reapply again after that. That is if they're still on the market to get. I've been hearing a bunch of different stories from everyone on this site saying that the generic oxymorphone ER is going away also, so I called the owner of my PM and he said only the brand name Opana ER is getting pulled, as of September 1st. I know that is true cause my insurance company sent me a letter in the mail. But they said nothing about the generic. Hope this helped, and by the way, what have you heard personally about the Global/Impax?
Re: RAWDOG (# 8)
Hey I was wondering if you saw my post ?? please let me know if you know of any discounts on the medication. Thanks
Re: tushawn (# 4)
Hey old post but if you are still prescribed oxymorphones, do you have insurance? Or do you pay out of pocket?
Yes. I also am prescribed. Unfortunately my doctor is out of network so I'm paying out of pocket and it's Hefty.. I'm really hoping someone knows of a discount card that will help (if you do also know?). But as of now, I have not been affected....YET. I've done a little research and as far as I know they had only pulled Opana ER and I don't even know for sure if the FDA has asked Global/Impax to discontinue altogether. I do know that Global had responded to comments and stated that they believe the medicine helps more than it causes issues. Meaning the good outweighs the bad. But that was June 8th so we shall see. But shares and stocks are still being sold and the price is only raising as they're aren't competitors. This med has changed my life. I have a quality life because of it. I was on Percocet, Tizanidine, Soma, even Valium and others. I have been able to cut everything out with the oxymorphone.
Hey Leigh, yea I thought it was,a recent post myself but no. Anyways I do get the generic Opana called oxymorphone ER. I've been on them for about 2yrs. They work GREAT I think it's the best ER med out there aside from Fentynl of course. I'm still worried that with this OPANA RECALL that it will trickle down to the oxymorphones I know it's not a true generic but still. So do you get prescribed them or no? I'm just trying to reach out to as many people as I can to see how or if others are being affected by this recall. Hope to hear back
