Tramadol Shortage (Page 25)

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.

REPORT

The problem is in the doctor-patient relationship. The law is pretty clear in that an online questionnaire does not qualify for one. Yes, we don't have our own prescription, but one is written for us along with a brief medical record (to protect the doctor). The prescription is written and given to their pharmacy (Online ordering specifically asks "do you allow us to designate a pharmacy). Besides the doc and the pharmacist, there are usually 2-3 "companies" involved- one for processing, one for billing, one for shipping. Shipping. This is how the loophole is created. In some ways it's great to share- we all know how much it SUCKS to run out, but I keep thinking of a time I shared my source on a similar message board, and lo and behold, the place was shut down (renamed,new bed etc) the next time I need to order. It would be awesome if we could just go to our personal doctor and get a prescription and be on our way. Unfortunately it seems that doctors are unaware that not everyone is just looking got ways to get high. Most of us have a chronic pain condition of some sort. It gets really frustrating spending the time and money at the doc to come away with nothing. Or how about a pain specialist? Wait months for an appointment only to find out that no meds will be given until a 1000 MRI is done, or we must fail a course of physical therapy to the tune of 500 bucks. I hate feeling like a slave to the little white pill but god it helps me live a normal life with fibromyalgia...

I just wrote a way too long post about how online pharmacies work and just frustrations in general trying to work with a doctor to manage symptoms. Apparently that is as evil as posting phone numbers...there is some information about online pharmacy procedures on the dea diversion site.

ANYONE having this problem, or cannot get their Tramadol, please Google poppy seed tom. Pennies on the dollar from what you're paying for your Tramadol. Saved my Xmas and opened my eyes to REAL relief. Check the ENTIRE web and 99.9% swear by this vendor; you'd by extremely hard pressed to find even one neutral review, let alone negative; now that's almost unheard of!

Thanks Kim & Maureen for all your help! I used both your names for referrals. Question, does Steve's number sometimes not work & then come back at a later time? I missed my tracking # call earlier & am trying to call him back & it keeps saying his # is not available or it rings twice & hangs me up. Any idea what's happening?

Looks like I spoke too soon. He came back from the void. :) I'm just so nervous that everything is going to fall through ever since the PA bust. But he really seems stable & hopefully all will carry on as planned from here on out. Thanks again ladies for all your help to me & everyone else on this forum!

Does anyone know if health solutions network and health pharmacy online are still working? Health Solutions says its a different company now and seems much more restrictive. If anyone could PLEASE tell me about any working companies I would be extremely grateful.

Dave seems pretty reliable and attentive. When I ordered from him, he didn't call me with the tracking number like he said he would and I placed the order on a wednesday and received it that monday. You can try looking up in this thread the number for Steve as they are the same company. I recently received an order from steve successfully.

Thanks Tracie, I read every post about Steve but all the numbers and symbols were gone. Does he have a site I can google or could someone throw the no up real quick?

I received an order from getramadol. When you place an order, you have to be available to talk with the first doctor. If he approves, it goes to a second Dr for approval. Once the pharmacy fills, it takes about 4 days to receive it. COD only. If you donot answer Dr call. They try one more time. You cannot call them back. I have never been able to get anyone to answer or email me back. 90 pills only. AN 627 brand. Total time to receive is about 7 days. Hope it helps.

Ok guys I have not been on here in a few days, but I see a lot of confusion and people still looking to order from health sol and getting ripped off and so forth. As for Dave I have been ordering with him and only him for the last month or more now. I have never had any issue with not getting a call back, not getting a package or a package being late etc. a matter of fact the last 3 packages I have gotten have came much earlier than expected. One to two days later that is awesome that is literally the next day or the day after I order. I just get frustrated that people are still trusting these online pharmacies that are really taking advantage of people. They know we need the pills so they yank the price way up and we order because we need them, well that is far from the truth for me I will not be financially raped by them any more I keep my business with Dave, Steve Harry whom ever answers the phone. I feel more comfortable speaking with someone via phone rather than live chat on line stop getting ripped off by the online pharmacies and maybe they will lower their prices.

Maureen i not sure if they are I know I have spoke only to Dave and Harry they are both very helpful and are willing to do what ever it takes to get my medications here on time. Not that I am proud but the truth is I take 30 pills plus a day and they keep up with my orders so I am very impressed with them that is for sure.

Also, read that the DEA will be re-classifying tram to a controlled substance Feb 27th. Had a "Doc on call" tell me their policy is no more tram because of that. Sorry for the bad news but I wish someone would have told me what's going on so I'm relaying what I've heard.

Tony- do you remember where you read that? I thought it was a state by state issue. If it becomes controlled-no more internet sales- some of us are going to be sick and unhappy campers. ...If you have the article, please post a link if you can...thanks

It isn't being schedule by the DEA. Some states have decided to make it controlled in their own states. New York will be scheduling tramadol a controlled substance at the end of February 2013. I have read and read and seen no evidence of the DEA scheduling tramadol. Do I think they will sooner or later? Probably...
