Walgreens Oxycodone Filling Tricks (Page 5) (Top voted 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.

Methadone is the most effective pain med ever!!! You are so right! Ive been in misery for 13 years taking Peciset 10 mg, and Soma etc. by 5 yrs. later moved to 15 mg. Oxycodone because after years your body gets used to them and the Tylenol prices were crszy then, so a few more years go by, now at 30 mgs. i never wanted to take pills ever before, not even Advil but when in pain and vomiting from it you will try something sooner or later! Any who....new doctor at my doctors office asked me if i tried Methadone? and i thought just like everybody else.....THATS FOR ADDICTS TO GET OFF H!!! NOT TRUE.....I take less 30's and 4 Methadone, and basically no pain, not loopy or tired from them and have my life back! Except im paying an arm and a leg!!!! Thanks WALGREENS! You suck! Anyway thats my 2 cents worth.

Yeah, I've tried all the methods you listed plus traction, Cortisone INJ's, surgery etc. Nothing works as well as Oxycodone. I am now at the point that I've lost my good credit, about to lose my home and auto but the next time I can't make it to work because of the pain, I'll just take a hot shower.

You might try Walgreens in Brandon. The one at the corner of Bloomingdale and Bell Shoals. I take baby doses, 5mg IR Oxy, but they've never turned me away. Sometimes they do check with the Dr. Which delays getting it filled. They treat me like a human. Been doing this for 2 years. I am a regular customer. Been going there since they opened. Bills Pharmacy on Highway 60 sometimes will fill them, but one of the pharmacists told me they get in just enough every month for their regular clientele. Whatever you do, DO NOT go to Walgreens on Highway 60 and Parsons. They are the rudest most inconsiderate people, ever. They're right across from Bills Pharmacy, and a clerk told me they get a lot of customers in there because of the rudeness of people in that Walgreens.

To "Very Lucky", You said that your Doctor faxed your script to the pharmacy. It is against the law to fill a script for any narcotics by fax. Evan an E-Script. All pharmacists know this. My cough medicine with codeine has to be an original copy. I am in this wonderful situation as every one else here. I agree with the people who have been prescribed Methadone as it is the most effective baseline medication that I have ever taken. Too bad that my longtime Dr. Retired about 8 months ago as the Dr. that bought the practice will not prescribe it. He has me on MS Contin and it is not working at all. Oxy as my breakthrough is good a majority of the time but it does not work for very long.

Someone told me this years ago, and am really glad they did. Break up you giant one paragraph(click Enter bar twice) It makes it sooooooo MUCH easier to read and looks better also.

Just try it, and you will never "look" back. Your post was very informative, but quite difficult to read, even with glasses. I am not trying to be judgmental or rude,just helpful.
Best Regards

Sherry, Would you also be willing to give your pharmacy info to me for my husband? We have been with Walgreens for 28 years and when he was put on oxycodone for degenerative disc disease and then a car accident which aggravated his condition, we went to our local WG, and were told they don't carry them. So...the driving began to every WG in the central FL area, only to find one where the Pharmacist said he would fill them. Yesterday we were told, for the 10th time "we don't have any", so I called the district mgr of WG, who called the Pharmacy mgr who then called me, telling me she only has some of the meds (10 short) and we could have them filled. We went to fill them and the SAME pharmacist who always turns us away, did it again by telling the tech to tell us they had none. I am so angry! My husband is a hard working, blue collar worker and has to endure this pain every day of his life and no one seems to care! It ticks me off to be lied to by someone who took an oath and is supposed to be a professional! And, yes, they are lying. The District mgr told me himself that he was going to get onto his staff for just not telling customers the truth because he has been receiving so many calls about this same problem everyday. This is ridiculous!! Thanks, for listening!

walgreens has shot themselves in their own feet with a bullet because of this type of policy of not filling soma and oxycodone together. Just think of all the billions not millions but billions of dollars now across the United States with all their Walgreen pharmacies combined they're going to lose out on while other mom and pop pharmacies now and other pharmacies like CVS and Rite Aid are really going to cash in on this and they are glad that walgreens has adopted that policy so that they can pick up the slack and pick up all those billions of dollars that walgreens now will lose. Thank you walgreens for putting together your own noose to hang yourself with because of this retarded policy that you have come up with for playing God over people's lives that suffer immense pain. All of the pharmacy conglomerates would like to thank you for sending billions of dollars their way that you no longer will get to take in and enjoy. This is your punitive punishment for playing God over people's lives for causing them to suffer the discomfort of having to go look for another pharmacy after they have been faithful to you for all these years with their dollars and cents.

After 10 years of oxy's including the new regulations in the past 4 years in south Florida, I have found that by getting to know the head pharmacist in a CVS and a Walgreens across from the CVS, and by contacting each of them 7 days prior to my refill date (28 days), I have had no people say. I did find that splitting my non-controlled prescriptions between the two was helpful. Also a heavy dose of honesty goes a long way
