Pharmacy Refuses To Stock Qualitest, Which Is The Only Kind That Works For Me (Page 4)
Updated
Comments Says:
I have two medications that are made by Qualitest (which I understand both have been moved to other Pharmaceutical Co.) 1. Hydrocodone 10/325 cannot find locally in Qualitest brand so I have been prescribed Mallinckrodt. They cause my ears to ring at an extremely high level that I can't think or do anything. I am extremely nauseous constantly. This ringing in my ears is driving me crazy. No pharmacy will get the Qualitest brand. 2. Phentermine (also the same situation), no pharmacy will carry Qualitiest brand. If the drug works for said person, is still being made and the said person has legal prescription, why isn't there a way to force the pharmacy to get it? Why are we forced to purchase drugs we know won't work for us? Are there any lawyers out there that can find a way to make them get these medications for us? I have Fibromyalgia and there is very little that works for me and my system. Please help me. I am close to beating my head against the wall to stop this ringing in my ears.

Re: peter (# 8) 
What. medication are you talking about. hydrocodone and or phentermine are not for anxiety.Hydrocodone is for pain and Phentermine is for weight loss. You need to find the right thread so someone can answer your questions

Roro (#60) --
I apologize for speaking out of place. Since I started the thread, I didn't know that the replies are not just speaking on my post. I don't speak on these things. I apologize. I am now convinced even more that this is not the place for me. You can have it all you want. I am deleting my profile and won't bother you again. I am so sorry.

You haven't spoke out of place... Please stay every voice counts... Also look at this.. the FDA needs to hear from you as well. I'm sorry if someone gave you a hard time....we are all in the same boat here.

Re: Kevin (# 1)
I totally get what you are trying to explain with shop around to get what brand works for you.Problem is in my area there is only a Walmart and Walgreens and an hour drive which I have to get a ride if I leave my area. So as far as finding the right brand not as easy to do. Next problem is if you are getting a controlled substance you sign a paper that you will only use 1 place to get your meds. It honestly never occurred to me to get my meds from the hospital/clinic that I go to. I could of but it is already to late because when I signed my agreement I signed I would only go to 1 place. The place I use to get my meds has switched the brand that works for me and it totally has changed my life so I get it, that it is frustrating.

No, you can’t force them to buy a specific brand for you. You can try having your doctor write that generic brand name and “no substitutions” but then you may not be able to fill it at all if nobody carries it. I used to use CVS. They are only allowed to order from one wholesaler and they get what they get. Last year at this time CVS had 2 wholesalers and I found which stores use which and traveled to the other side of the state to get specific generics. Then I moved and switched to Walgreens because their wholesaler sends brands that work. Good luck.

If you find a pharmacy that carries what works for you, here in florida you can tell your dr, that you had to change pharmacies, because other one no longer carries it, they understand and hasnt been a problem here.

the walgreen's here in Tenn use to carry the Watson brand which was taken over by Actavis which was horrible but the marking on the pill said watson now Walgreens carries the Mallinkroft not sure of the spelling and they have used them for the last 2 months and the pills do not work

I know the new brand does not work carried by Walgreens. Walmart uses the same name brand as Walgreens. Now I'm thinking about switching to the CVS brand1

I agree it is absolutely sickening the FDA isn't doing their job none of the generic Norco works anymore I am about to become homeless because there is no more pain relief . I pray a lawyer will get some balls and help us. This is absolutely sickening. The only one that last worked was qualitest and nobody will order them or tell me what pharamcy carries them.
