Walgreens Oxycodone Filling Tricks (Page 7)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

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.

I am a disabled person. I had back surgery several years ago which was failed. I have a compressed nerve and very messed up disc in my back. I take oxycodone 30 mg. All of a sudden I have had problem trying to get it filled. I have tried lakeland, plant city at walgreens an publix supermarkets. I have been filling between these two pharms for years now. I have a legit scripts an a very good Dr out of Tampa. After going through 15 Drs he's the first one that has helped me control my pain. Now I can't get filled. Publix pharmacy tech at Plant city told me last month that they didn't get my oxy or time release in at all an it would be next month. When I got to the parking lot I ran into a friend that takes same thing after car accident. She just an hour prior got both hers filled yet I was told they didn't get them in. I have ran around to many many now trying to fill. I guess because I'm not regular customer they are not filling although my normal two places are not filling after doing it for years. I lay in bed for days on end an even weeks when my back and nerve pain gets out of control. I didn't ask for this pain and I hate it but it's from a accident many years ago. Anyone have an pharmacies they could recommend? I would love to find one pharmacy an just go there as a regular customer every month. Tx for any help.

Walgreens in indianapolis area and some other have something called the good faith filling policy thats in place because of the trouble they got into for filling bogus scripts and selling medication outside of the pharmacy. It makes almost impossible to get anything filled. Everything is a red flag to them. Being on the meds for more than 6 months, paying cash for your meds, hell even walgreens not being within geographical proximity of your house or doctors office is a red flag. The policy even advises them to call your doctor and ask for your diagnosis. Is it within the standered of care and much more. Type in good faith filling policy into google theres even a pdf file with a actual copy. Today they are holding my script telling me I cant fill till the eighth. Im out of medication as of lastnight I should have been abke to get it on time today. The pharmasist told me that I was not cleared till the eighth to pick it up and claimed the doctor office specifically said not to have it picked up till the eighth. Called my doctor of course the pharmasist is just trying to get around it because my doctors office didnt tell them that. I do believe my doctors office I have a great relationship great track record. So I call back the pharmacy and she give me some other excuse since she was caught. I tell her I want my script transferred to another walgreens. They proceed to tell me I cannot transfer a controlled substance more than once. This is a schedual 3 btw. Ive called around to every other place I can. There is no law or no rule saying this no other walgreens pharmacist knows anything about this. One tried to work with me and get my script transferred and they are holding my script hostage. Mind you this isnt a script with refills it was a script that had a partial fill and had already been approved. This is ridiculous what they are doind and why is the pharnasist making excuses then sted of saying its against my discretion. I need help there is no way I can make ot to the eighth without serious pain and consequences.

Yes the pharmacist's have way too much power, and they treat us like criminals, I live in southern california. I refuse to buy from walgreens, and have switched to Rite-Aid.

Dont feel bad, i was also with walgreens for years and after they also stopped filling mine when all the craziness started. I went to every pharmacy in my area and all the ones around me and found only one and i pay 2500.00 a month.. most all of my savings is just about gone and i dont know what else to do. I suppose try another surgery and pray it helps... i dont think things are going to get better and its a real shame...

You are a lucky one...i was with Wagreens for 8 years until they were red flaged from DEA for selling pain meds on black market and so they couldnt fill any pain meds for 4 months...so i had to go pharmacy to pharmacy until a Barclays took my scrips and filled for $1700.00!!! a month when walgreens was $290.00!! Im getting so screwed! And i keep trying Walgreens and Publix, but thanks to the DEA each pharmacy only gets so many and none of them have enough for everyone. Its so sad.

Just put on Morphine 30mg. 2 times daily for severe life changing chronic leg and back pain. I tried 4 pharmacy's for the script before I found one to fill the script after a 2 1/2 hour wait, I was treated like a criminal by the pharmacist. She said things like she will fill the script this month but she can't guarantee she or any other Walgreens will fill it again, and Walgreens will be monitoring my doctor visits!!!WHAT!!! I should talk to my Doctor according to her and see if muscle relaxers and antinflammatories will do the job. Come on get real. I am 64 years old and have been in severe chronic pain for many years. Go after the junkie's! Help the people who are in so much pain that life is unbearable.

I have been felling like hell for 4 months, been everywhere, my 92 year old Dad has same problem.

When you are a cash paying patient due to NO INSURANCE it is very hard to allow 1 pharmacy to fill your prescriptions. I have to SHOP around because they are so out of wack with their prices I CAN'T just go to 1 pharmacy. And I live less than 1 block from Walgreens. Its crazy and they have known me for years. This particular Walgreens has only been open for about 10 years now...maybe less. And as soon as they opened their doors I became one of their FIRST customers.

Methadone may not be recommended by federal agencies for pain relief, but it WORKS. It is inexpensive, has no real side effects as far as making you feel off, weird, high or whatever, which makes it ideal for people with REAL pain problems who just want to feel better and live a more normal life. I was never PUSHED on methadone, in fact when i moved and switched docs i had a hell of a time getting it. And first excuse he had, when i DID need a bump up (as with ANY med you get used to the dose and need it raised, in this case it had been two YEARS since i had asked for a raise in the dose, and that putting up with high levels of pain the whole time since the dose i was on before the move was 60 mg a day and the amount this fool gave me was 20, tops. So when i asked for a raise, he SWITCHED ME to MORPHINE, which i hated, which DID have the nasty weird feeling side effects and lethargy which is bad since i have M. E. and that makes me lethargic enough all by itself, and NOW several years later im on Fentanyl... wanna talk about how many people died on this stuff? I would be better off on my methadone, with the right dose. Not to mention these things have a KNOWN problem with not lasting like they should and my doctor wants me to believe that my diabetes or my M. E. are causing my intensified pain and withdrawl symptoms every bloody third night and first day... like clockwork.yeah right.

Prescriptions are written orders from a doctor to a pharmacist to give a patient these NEEDED medications. It isnt up to the pharmacist to decide that the patients DR is wrong. It isnt an over the counter where the patient just walks up and gets what they want, reguardless of what is needed for them, and the meds we are talking about help, OR hurt, ONLY the patient they are prescribed for. The conscience laws were ment to protect people from having to break their own moral laws by materially participating in something they reguard as a major sin. Made necessary mostly by the invention of Methotrexate or RU46 which are abortifacient drugs that have NO medical purpose but to kill an unborn child. These laws were not written to turn pharmacists into DOCTORS to dictate what patient can have what NEEDED, TRUE medication for whatever ails them. Living in pain, or killing an innocent are VERY different issues, and i do not believe the conscience laws were meant at ALL for the purposes you describe.
