Tramadol Shortage (Page 15)

Does anyone know of a pharmacy with tramadol available? I tried ordering it but everyine keeps telling me its out of stock and not available until after the holidays. I run out of my rx today and can't wait until after the holidays so any help is appreciate it.

After some elementary digging. There's not a shortage. It has to do with the card companies not processing the orders. They had until 12-31-12 to get all their orders out. You can still order it, but with limits now. Most wont sell over 90ct, and some are making you establish primary care with that site. Because as of the 1st, if you answer yes to having a primary care - you/the site has to get a temp release from old primary to be able to offer you online consults. It still seems though that if you can order by COD, its cheaper and they're still working. If you've pd by card I'd bet its coming from out of country.

This is driving me nuts! This is the third post I am attempting to post and I am sure it will be picked for "Review" so that means It doesn't get posted. I really can't believe I am not allowed to post certain things. What I really want to say is Wow 30-40 pills a day, I can't believe it. That is mucho money every month. Do you get them from your doctor? My doctor only allows 180 per month and thats why I have to get a script on line which I find now is not legal. I thought if you fill out the questioneer and pay your money it doesn't matter what doctor you choose, but I guess I am wrong. I am going to try the kratom it will be a lot cheaper. Lets see if this one makes it.

It will never get back to "Normal" All these pharmacies are out of business the FBI busted and closed them down. Read Hellertown drug bust (google) We will have to resort to getting them from overseas. I don't mind, I have gotten good medicine that way, it is just the wait. I like it overnight and I don't like having to get a money order, that sucks.

Well things will never be back to normal all the pharmacies are closed because of the Hellertown drug bust. Lets see if they let this one in.

I just reordered 180 tablets for $109 including shipping (though that was the cheapest shipping) from process rx. I received from them last month and it looks like my order is processing ok for this month too. Good luck to all. I need to get back on suboxone.

Laurie, where did you order from? Please just list the name but not the period or anything that comes after.

I just ordered 180 tabs from Rx Web Pharm for 124 incl shipping, they're the only place i found that accepts Visa. Also the only place that has online chat still open and they verified that they still have tramadol on hand.

The only thing is that it takes about 2 weeks to ship. They said they're located in NY, so I'm surprised a co. in the US is still open and shipping 180 at the old price of 99

Kathy they might say they are in NY but if it takes 2 weeks they are overseas, trust me on that one. But still for that price I would go for it. I just have to have some on hand to be able to wait the 2 weeks. My last order was COD and it cost me $156 for 120 but it was overnight. If there is another place to discuss please let me know where.

Maureen I also ordered that same deal for 120 tabs that u did, but it's way way to much to pay for that quantity.. I had a feeling that the place i just ordered from was overseas too.. i just hope i get the order.
I don't really care for that khatom really, it's not like you can take just a tab or two to be effictive ... they say u have to take 6 to 9 to work. i just opened up a couple of tablets and put them on a spoon - very hard to swallow that small powder, but it seems to work better that way..
i don't think it's something that i'd want to use long term, but if they close down all the tramadol sites, i might have to

Maureen: Gawd, I just posted to u, nothing important in it, but they took that out for review too.. gone forever. I just said that i don't know of another place to discuss, and that i also got that expensive deal that you mentioned... maybe t a b s is a bad word here

Well I appreciate all the replies about the 30-40 pills I take a day, yes you all are correct the amount of money I spend on these pills are crazy. I even write some of my med expenses off on my taxes since I spend such an astronomical amount weekly and monthly. To answer many of the questions I have a primary care Dr. that gives me around 400 tablets a month and then I have several pharmacies I order with as well on-line. So needless to say I find a way, but the pharmacies on line are very careful not to send me these too soon. As for the suboxone I am willing to give it a shot and yes I will have to go see a Dr. that will prescribe this for me since it is a serious narcotic.

I just got word from a friend of mine that also takes Tramadol that begging Feb.2013 Tramadol is going to be considered a controlled substance has anyone else heard this. In this case there will be no pharmacies handing out any this medication.

I was looking online and it looks like it is becoming a controlled substance on February 23rd in New York state. There are many states that have dine this but I didn't see anything about making it a controlled substance nation wide.

well that stinks for us i guess - i thought it was already a controlled substance, though, or why would we need a prescription to get it?

It isn't federally controlled but many states have made it controlled. You dont have anything to worry about unless you are in New York from what I read

Neurotin is the answer. I was taking at least 20 tramadol per day. All of the sudden I couldn't get them and can't keep affording this. I took my last 3 at 7am yesterday ant then started neurotin around 6pm I have not had ANY withdrawal symptoms at all and I feel great.
