Tramadol Shortage (Page 3)
UpdatedDoes 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.
Pretty sure tramadol is only controlled in 10 states not 15-20. What is the lawyer stuff your talking about? I'm interested in any info. Thank you
I am in cronic severe pain & Tramadol really doesn't work that well to begin with. I have tried it & vicodin,percocet & morphine & nothing works for me except Excedrin Tension Headache with caffine I swear by it. I have to take 4 pills at a time but you probably will not need that much. It is back on the shelves now. Just don't get the generic kind. I know it sounds silly but it is better than any pain killer out there. Give it a try
Try taking Excedrin Tension Headache withcaffine. It is way better than Tramadol. I am in severe cronic pain every day & vicodan, percoset & morphine does not do anything for me so try the Excedrin it is back on the market now. I take 4 at a time but you probably won't need that much because if you are used to Tramodol that is like taking baby aspirin. Seriously it works I swear by it. Make sure to get Excidrin with caffine & not the generic kind.
Mark, do you have severe or cronic pain? EVERYDAY It is hard for a person who doesn't take any pain pills to realize what real pain is. It is not like the people on here are taking pills to get high with. That is far from the truth. Tramadol is seriously like baby apsirin. It would never come close to helping me. I am bed ridden & don't take anything unless I go some where then I have to. Pain pills really don't work on me. I have had Vicodin,percocetmorphinetramodol & none of it works. I take Tylenol 4 & they bare help so I never take them. The best thing to take for me is Excedrin Tension Headache with caffine. I have to take 4 at a time but they work better than RX pain meds & then I only take them when I go places which is only 2 times per month. I have several severe chronic isssues but I am differen't then most people. I don't get addicted to anything & I am glad.
Ordered mine on the 14th, been doing this for about 4 years, still nothing, and the number I call has the generic operator saying "sorry our lines are busy, after the tone please leave your order number, name, number, and a brief message and someone will get back to you". They were doing this last week and I just blew the phone up calling them like 20 times back to back and I would finally get someone but they were giving me the whole stock issue excuse. I was able to get a friend to give me some and I got the flu, so I haven't had to take any, and actually am trying to use the flu as a way to taper off, but it's excruciating. I used the phone number to order. Has anyone had any luck getting their order filled?
Nope...this is the same number I've been calling. I know that other sites are filling orders but for some reason the cartadmin sites are not filling thiers. I've called everyday when I could get thru. I think I'm going to cancel and try another site who I have heard are filling thier orders. Mine has been on hold since 12/5.I
Beckster, which sites have you heard are filling orders? I was under the assumption they are all affiliated.
The Rx was filled by Troy Pharmacy. It was first sent to Waschko Pharmacy in PA, which didn't fill it because it suddenly closed due to the pharmacist losing his license for non-Tramadol-related things.
I just ordered from a new web site It comes COD and has 180's in the bottle. rxsaves was the place. I will post more when and if I get it. I am in the same boat everyone else is in and I can tell you I am going to get off them asap!!1 Enough is enough...
Mine was filled by a HSN site. I've heard process rx is filling orders reliably now too. You can also look up troy pharm directly and get meds from them, though it's more expensive. They filled the rx for my order.
My order was going to be filled by waschko pharm and sat there for days, but was then sent to a troy pharm after waschko was suddenly shut down. The pharmacist was fined and I believe even his license revoked due to non-tramadol-related offenses. Something about prescribing bp meds to someone with no rx for years, according to the news.
Can everyone post how many a day they take and how they are getting through this? I was taking 6 a day minimum, I'm down to 4 a day, now, and sometimes it's really hard.
Was taking 8 a day now im down to three. I take tyelonol with caffiene in it to help me in between : ( and drink milk to coat my stomach : ( take imodium to for the diaerra it helps alot!!!!!
Lindy how do you deal with the RLS?
Muscle Relaxers and hot baths :"( its hard I know but online says if u stay active and sweat that it helps alot to. Also if u can get ur hands on it and are desperate enough. Smoking marijuana helps alot with the withdrawal symptoms. Ive just tried stayin busy and if it gets really bad ill take a muscle relaxer or a hot bath that helps with my RLS : (
I have a few pharmacies that are currently filling orders for tramadol but will not disclose then here due to people like "ROB" who will complain to the FDA, and Class Law Suit Attorneys who blame them for "Price Gouging" and their addictions. Sorry.
I've used the marijuana trick and it works for awhile, it sucks for me because RLS is why I started taking tramadol in the first place. Seroquel has helped me get sleep in the past, I'm going to a doctor Monday and trying to get off tramadol so I can stop being a slave to this "non narcotic" medicine.
there are many pharmacies now sending supplies. I've received orders everyday for the past 3 days ( i had placed several orders with several providers in desparation). I now have more than I need. If anyone lives in my area, I am willing to help you. Just email me. Im not going to post the names either for the same reasons Keith isn't. I will discuss in personal email if needed. good luck everyone and hang in there. I know its easy for me to say since I've finally got a supply. sorry you are feeling sooo bad, I empathize and sympathize.
Yea I know how u feel. Im thinking about it to. Im scared though of my dr gettin mad at me for it and not helping me. Id love to get off them. But its hard tryin to wean myself off them so far! I hv 16 left and I think im just gonna keep minimizing till gone and making it a new year resolution to myself to get off them! Ive been taking them everyday 6-8 a day for 7yrs now. And I want to b done with them. I can deal with my pain a different natural way! Its not healthy doin what I do to deal with my bad knees, migraines and ovarian cycsts ive been dealing with for along time now. And my OBGYN is the one who prescribed them to me originally. And it was over from there.... I shoulda stopped when I was able to :"( so mad at myself for letting it get this bad : (
I know you ALL have everyone's best interest at heart but please remember "helping someone out" is distributing prescribed meds without a license. Idk if you can do personal messages on here, but that probably is the best way to do things. This was not related to a stock or manufacturing problem. The major hub in Hellerstown Pennsylvania was busted for prescribing without a close enough doctor patient relationship and money laundering. The FBI, IRS, and DEA are all over this now and while supply may be back for now, it is only a matter of time before tram is made controlled. I am soo not trying to be the downer here. Just don't want to see anyone get in trouble. If you don't believe me just look it up online.
