Doctors Wont Prescribe Pain Meds Oxy And Soma
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I went to the VA hospital on Jefferson in Jacksonville, FL and they said they dont have soma or oxy for me something I have been taken for 15 years in VA California! The just say "no it is not in our formulary" so I ask if they would script it out to CVS that does have it and they say they cant do that either! So I a without a job or resorces because i need the soma to work everyday and oxy only maybe once a week or two. I only take 2 somas a day...and then nothing else! Please tell me who to contact in the military that may make a difference in my life so i dont have to go on disability.

Florida seems to be the state of choice of those wanting CII`s

Soma has been rescheduled to a CIV, possibly considering it a synergistic enhancement of added sedation and euphoria.

@Kathy,

Sorry to hear about your situation. As a vet, you'd think they'd be more lenient about this... But from what I hear, Florida is a totally different ball game than most other states when it comes to anything narcotic; whereas it seems like you really have to luck out with a good PM doctor if you're needing these kinds of meds on a regular basis.

I wonder though, did they ever explain WHY they can't script it to CVS or other pharmacies that do carry those particular meds? Instead of just letting them say "no", you may have to demand an explanation to understand where they're coming from and maybe then they can work with you on getting something similar? Just a thought since it's probably better to have something than nothing I suppose? It's a real shame how they make people suffer through this.

Disability in Florida will most likely not be able to accommodate you either with the Soma/Oxy combo?
