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.
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!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
Beckster, which sites have you heard are filling orders? I was under the assumption they are all affiliated.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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 with you guys, terrified of withdrawals. I finally got a shipment today, HSN still says pending
I placed an order on 12-10-12 ...same thing, it was processed and approved within hours of ordering but then the "shortage" bs started. Then they started saying the order was being moved to another pharmacy that could fill it. Now - of all days to get a tracking number - they provided one on Christmas Day. It is scheduled to be delivered today. Advice to fall back on - go to your pet's vet... You can get Tramadol 50mg 100 count for about $8.
What the heck I puy mine in on dec 17th and still nothing!!!! Bullcrap!! Hell I'll be through my withdrawls by then. Whats the deal.... did they email u ur tracking order number or how did u find out?
I think the lawyers will try but it is unlikely that they will be successful unfortunately. Here are the facts.
- Tramadol is a generic of the J&J drug Ultram. J&J petitioned (and continues to petition) to keep this off the DEA Scheduled drugs list as it helps sales not to be considered DEA controlled.
- Many have walked into its use thinking it is a non-schedule drug but physical addiction is far worse than narcotics.
-About 15-20 states have moved it to schedule IV on their formulary because it is so addictive
-With the attention it's getting it will likely become a Schedule IV Controlled substance within the next year or so. Docs will be hesitant to write long term Rx's for it.
-Most internet site have a box in their questionnaire stating "My primary physician is aware I am ordering this drug; Y or N". Since most people on using it chronically are doing so aside from their primary physicians, the small print in the final agreement statement confirming truthful compliance will help get the internet companies off the hook.
I've been through it and tapering is the smart way to go until you get it down to a low level and there are docs that specialize in detox. Good luck-
Just got my tracking # for tramadol order from Dec 24th. A much older order I have from a cartadmin site is still doing nothing. But this is very good news. Maybe things are starting to move.
non HSN
Was it from one of the HSN or cartadmin sites? I don't even know if there are any others out there! LOL Good to know that something might be moving again though.
