Filling Pain Meds In Fl

Updated

I've been trying to find out if it is still hard to get pain meds filled in fort Myers FL. My husband and I are going to be retiring there this year and I've been on oxycotin and oxycodone for 15 years so this concerns me greatly. Could someone please tell me if this is true and is it also hard to find a doctor to take over my meds

Hello, Elizabeth! How are you?

That answer to both of your questions is yes. There have been many posts about people in Florida having problems getting such medications. Even if they have a doctor that prescribes them, getting them filled can also be very difficult.

The FDA classifies Oxycodone as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

You could try asking your doctor if they have a colleague there that they can refer you to, or ask any friends or family you have there for a referral to their doctors.

Does anyone else have any ideas?

I thank you for your reply, but I have spoken with someone who works at a pain management office and informed me since I also have medicare they also offer the choice to use their mail script service so I shouldn't run into that problem with working with the local pharmacies so that made me feel better. We picked Fort Myers because we are in the process of buying a boat and it's a better location for storm protection.
