Walgreens Oxycodone Filling Tricks (Page 4)
(Newest replies first)

I have read all the posts and found that the best way i found is on the 29th of aug i talked to the pharmacy manager and explained the dilemma i was facing and she told me just to transfer all my other scripts to her location and then drop off my oxy script and methadone and that they would order them for me if they were out.Bam ten days later i got a call yesterday that they had my script filled and to come pick them up.Hope this helps those having problems getting their meds filled.Good luck and god bless.

No one gets that much prescribed to them in a month. You are probably a cyber agent seeking to contact patients and subversely solicit from them to get them in trouble. Only a dr. Who wants to lose his license would give you 360 methadones, plus 120 - 8 mg. Dilaudids, and vallium too??? And then would foolishly go online and advertise that you get that much each month?? Even if you were a terminal cancer victim, your dr. Would give you 1 major pain killer only, and maybe a muscle relaxant. No, undercover agent written all over that post. Agents use these online forums, and what a laugh about the privacy in responding. Your IP address can always be traced. Get a life and go get you a real job wherein you don't have to be a liar and a deceiver. You yourself may be a real patient in need one day, and then you just might realize there really is a legitimate need for these properly prescription narcotics, and when properly used, can give some quality of life to those terminal, who really need it.

you can file a complaint with the DEA as well as Walgreens' corporate. Ck out the Florida Board of Pharmacy meeting held 8/10/15 yesterday - they all lie and no one takes the blame for legitimate patients getting meds. I took videos via my pocket camera and recorded either visits or phone calls to evidence what the pharmacist would say. You can use these with all complaints you file. If you are disabled, file a complaint with the Americans with Disabilities Act and attach your video or statement, with dates, etc.

MRSB: THIS IS BELLA, TY FOR THE INFO. IVE BEEN GOING TO THE SAME DR FOR 10 YEARS AND ITS IN Central FL, ANYWAY THE WHOLE TIME I'VE BEEN THERE, UNTIL I MOVED UP NORTH TO HELP MY MOM FOR about A YEAR, THEN AFTER SHE PASSED I CAME BACK HOME IN N. FL, MY DR OF COURSE TOOK ME back with no problem, the thing is BEFORE I moved I've always filled with no problem in Alabama, crazy I know that's a whole other state, problem is when I got back they explained to me that they only get a certain amount, my best friend goes through the same Dr. I go to and the pharmacy I used to go to in Alabama she still goes there, but she never left, so she still has her spot, but since They only get a certain amount, when I left they replaced me and now they don't have enough to help me anymore. SO I FOUND A PLACE ABOUT 30 MIN FROM WHERE I LIVE AND THEY DID IT FOR ONE MONTH FOR ME, BUT THE NEXT MONTH THEY SAID IT WAS A ONE TIME THING. THAT WAS BEFORE I POSTED ON HERE. IT TOOK ME 62 DAYS TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO DO IT FOR ME. IM GOING BACK AT THE END OF THIS WEEK AND hoping I HAVE NO MORE PROBLEMS. I HAVE A FEELING I WONT BUT U NEVER KNOW AND FOR ALL THAT I GET I ONLY PAID $579.67. I GET 360 METHADONE 10 MG, 185 OXYCODONE 30 MG 75 VALUME 10 MG AND 120 DALUID 8 MG, SO THATS A GREAT PRICE. I appreciate your trying to help me and if u need any help with a great Dr. Or pharmacy U CAN get a hold of me. {edited for privacy}, like I said thank U so much for trying to help and if u want, I'll tell u what happens when I go back to fill, have a blessed day

Hi, I went to fill my meds on Friday and the pharmacist told me he would not fill for this Dr again because they did not like the integrity of this Dr. I had to switch Drs a couple months ago due to my ins. Change (school board) I was getting them filled here for 4-5 yrs and never had a problem. The Walgreen pharmacist said the DEA told him not to fill scripts from this Dr. Do you think your pharmacy would fill? I am in the Citrus Park area. Thanks

Same here - Walgreens has to to a "review" for the pharm mgr to order the meds and it has to be the manager - be careful if that person goes on vacation as no one else will take care of it. Last month my Rx was there (in the safe with my name on it) but the temp pharmacist "wasn't going to risk his license by giving it to me" - Seriously??

Bella, you going to the Dr. in one area and filling in another may be the reason why you are being turned away. They do that here in south Florida, you have to have a local Dr. or the pharmacies wont fill.. Most wont fill out of county. Even if you go to the Dr. and try to fill in the same city his office is in but don't live there they will tell you that you have to fill in the county in which you live but if you try to they will say they don't fill if your Dr. isnt local... i had the same Dr. for 7 years and had to switch because i couldn't find any where and the one place I did find was charging me a little over 2 grand for all my meds and took nothing but cash... I had to leave my wonderful Dr. and the place i go to now wont give me anymore than 2 per day which is a big difference from the 5 i was getting before. Its like they don't know the meds lose effectiveness over time... well they know but they don't care. I wish you all the luck in the world...

The exact same situation happened to me. I live in South Eastern Michigan. Same elevated lived enzymes, also chronic, debilitating illnesses that began with a shoddy gastric bypass in August of 2005, followed by 19 surgeries in an attempt to rectify the problems, and due to severe malnourishment, a feeding tube for 3 years, a severe blockage where my esophagus and pouch met, I now have degenerative disc disease in my neck, bulging and herniated discs all down my spine, scoliosis, arthritis, osteoporosis.... There's more, I'm not even touching on the mental anguish, PTSD, etc etc... Pardon my tangent. My point is, my doc did the same. Put me on oxycodone to lesson the Tylenol I was taking, but I could not fill the script. 2 days of phone calls (that was a joke) and unbelievable mileage... And I STILL was unable to fill the script. My doc reluctantly had to prescribe the norco after all... No other option worked as well...

The problem isn't with the pharmacists as much as it is with the D.E.A. It is our government that is ultimately doing this!!! Of course it is at a pharmacist's discretion whether to fill or not... but think of the weight on their shoulders. They've got the DEA, they've got their company.... it's absolutely ridiculous that this is happening. I just wanted to add that the crux of the problem lies within our government and this "crackdown." Granted, they did a GREAT job getting rid of the shady pill mills in FL (so obviously I'm referencing my state, but I see other people have problems ni other states too)....but now they have created a crisis for people with legitimate, debilitating issues. My neighbor just had surgery. She has terminal illness. She cannot take percocet because of the tylenol in it (this was discovered recently when blood tests showed elevated levels of it in her organs, damaging them further). So her dr. changes her prescription to oxycodone with no tylenol. NOBODY will fill it. I had to drive around for her (she can't drive! She had to stay home) and look for a pharmacy for her. And nobody had it in stock. And the one pharmacist looked at it and didn't even bother to look in her computer, said they couldn't fill the script. Just flat out refused with no reason given. I hate that this is happening. It is going to have to take more of us yelling and screaming for the media to take notice of the problem that has taken place. That they not only stopped all the abusers - they have created an epidemic where people who have legitimate need are treated like they are criminals. That people with legitimate need are being left without, or to drive to hither and yon to try and get their prescriptions. I hate that this is happening. It needs to stop.

He should not be a pharmacist or in that field if they have a problem filling a prescription that he feels is against his beliefs. I find we are going backwards in our care. I am no young chicken and would not be doing anything if it was not for pain management medications. I have no idea how long I will be on them either. I did go to another MD a specialist in rheumatology for inflammatory medication to help me. We have made so many great discoveries in our country and have sent it to other countries. When we could use this new medical treatment it is denied. You tell me do we have a problem. Where do we stand in the world of our medical treatment and care not good I will tell you. Problem is we have the greatest minds too here, so what are they trying to rid off the ill and elderly here. Everyone here is to make money. I got mine well too bad you do not.

Just want to let you know that pharmacists DO have the right to refuse a prescription as it is filled under their license. They are held accountable for anything that may happen after that prescription is dispensed. So if they feel not to fill it, it is absolutely in their right to do so. Would you want a legal suit on your hands if a junky decided to overdose on the prescription you filled for them if you were the pharmacist? And no, I'm not talking about a legal suit against the company you work for, I'm saying YOU individually. Would you be able to handle paying $1 million + in fines if the suit went in the junky's favor???

Get your facts straight.

Yeah walgreens told me the same thing the last time i tried to fill with them. They said they couldn't fill pain meds with muscle relaxers or pain meds with anxiety meds. He called it a south florida drug cocktail and then he flagged my file so that any walgreens i went to would refuse me. I was with them for years n years. Its not right and i wish there was something we could do to fight back but no one will listen. They think what they are doing is making things better but its making things much worse... then you have the small mom and pop pharmacies charging people 12 dollars per pain pill because they know you cant fill anywhere else. Its disgusting. I wish you all much luck, no one should be treated the way pain patients are treated and just because we are dependent does not make us bad people. They know what will happen if you don't have your meds but they don't care. I wouldn't wish withdrawals on my worst enemy.

I also am having trouble with walgreens .... I have been a customer there for over 5 yrs... I have been on disability for 20 yrs n im only 50. I have bad chronic pain n need surgery on my back n neck but im putting it off due to them giving me problems now w filling norco n soma 2gether. They say its some kind of cocktail people have discovered. Ive been on these meds meds for 20 yrs n. All of a sudden last time i filled they said "oh btw we wont fill these w 2gether anymore !" wtf is going on??? I have lupus, fibro, rhematoid, neck n back disc probs ect... On n on ... These meds are the only ones that help me lead a somewhat normal life... My pain doc has since added fentenyl n a sleeping pill.. I do not abuse these meds n i admit i have filled a day or 2 early from time to time. But by no means do i abuse them. Ive been down that rd b4 n its not fun detoxing cold turkey ! I need the soma to relax my spasms n nothing else works...beleive me as i no you all do ... I did not choose to live in this pain. Its the cards i was dealt n i get frantic close to my dr appts n fear of the pharmacy refusing to fill my meds. I even asked him if he would help me "pharmisist" come off the soma n go down a pill ea month n im willing to work w him n he said ill make that decision when you come in ...... Geeze !!!!! We cant drink, I smoke n started vaping, we all being treated like irresponsible children n at the mercy of these pharmacies who prob dont even no what chronic pain is like !!!! I hate living this way n i no the day is coming when no one will fill any of our meds n then what ??? We all need to stand up for our selves we are grown adults who live in constant pain... We need to do something to make ourselves heard.... Thanx all n we've got to stick together n if anyone knows of a chain pharmacy who doesn't have a prob with filling these meds... I would appreiate ur input. Ox

Walgreens has been my pharmacy for @ least 26 years now. They have a policy that they have to call your doctor to verify your scripts this is was fine with me. My pain doctor has me on a 28 day schedule. So last month I go to get my scripts filled and the pharmacist I spoke to tells me I have to call these into your doctor and but you won't be able to pick them up until tomorrow well this was not OK with me I ask her why and she proceeds to tell me it's our process and I say Yes I know but that's not new you've been doing this and she says no it's a new process at this point I'm very upset and she says you should be OK you're not due till tomorrow anyways I proceed to tell her no I'm not I'm on a 28 day schedule she still tells me tomorrow and I tell her this is bullcrap and she tells me I don't care to talk to you anymore so I decided to try another Walgreens close by grant it I ended up waiting 3 more hours and when I went to pick them up at the drive - thru the girl tells me they're not ready and wants me to park I have about 4 or 5 cars behind me and I tell her uh no I have a line of cars behind me and I've already waited 3 hours I finally got them. I really do believe that these pharmacists are going the extra mile to find ways of not filling your scripts. You could be a doctor or a pharmacist and know everything there is to know about pain and ways of treating it but if you don't know what it really feels like how do you have a right to judge a person who experiences it on a daily basis you don't have a clue it's OK for you to say you can wait one more day what's one more day. Take a walk in our shoes just one day I guarantee they would have more respect and wouldn't second guess their patients....
