Walgreens Oxycodone Filling Tricks (Page 2) (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.

Walgreens is one of the worst places To get opiates filled, if you are a little Early they will run and tell on you They will call your Docter and whoever Else they can tell to stop you from Getting pain relief or they will wright On your script so you can't fill it any Place else early even your so sick. Boycott Walgreens.

Sherry-
If you are reading this and the pharmacy you spoke of is still alive and kicking. Please let me know how to contact you.
I was a 8 year customer @ CVS I've been at the same pain doctor 10 yrs and then the pharmacy manager refused to fill my 6 scripts. Only 2 are narco! My wife and just spent 6 hours just trying to get them filled at another CVS. Yesterday between my pain appt and trying to find a pharmacy (again I've never filled early out of fear and same CVS 8 yrs)I spent 8 hours.
I'm on methadone and for some magical reason it can only be found at the place who refused me.
I even called corporate trying to find out what happened. And all I get is it's all up to pharmacy manager and a big wig named Cathleen in corp.

Since when did pharmacist get to play GOD with my life? I never wanted any of this. I have a dying wife and son with multiple health problems. Money is tight and last month I had repeated seizurs from methadone while the CVS I always went to decided to fill one last time.
Now where do I go?

I would try a CVS they are always helpful. I get my scripts there every month but when they're out I go to Rite Aid. Never had problems.

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.

Got a Tip. Stop going to Walgreens. Report every instance to the DEA, stand up for yourself. I was lied to whenever Walgreens felt like not doing work. They should not be in business, period. Examples, "Your Dr. is being investigated by the DEA, but dont call him! He knows!", well...no, he wasnt...We dont have this medication at any store in the City ! " Well, yes they did, it goes on for days and days. Talk to your Dr., tell them how your treated, if your Dr. Doesnt care, change Drs. No one cares about your pain, no one. You must be pro active. God Bless. I have had a great experience at a New, CVS. Heres to proper trearment of pain and self responsibility.Please, its hard...but report these Walgreens! PLEASE!

You are very misinformed, they(any) pharmacy or pharmacist can refuse to fill any prescription, they please! "That is a fact." My civil rights was walked over @ CVS, and they are not even with the B.B.B. To Heck with CVS & Walgreens. I wish they had NEVER come to our town. Let the bulls hook'em! It will do NO GOOD to call the main headquarters, they are going to take up for their own & its not just the morning after pill, they can refuse other drugs such as 2 benzo's & soma, Ask a lawyer! The DEA has cracked down & they are afraid of being fined or closed down! They can & will do as they please & it will take more stress & time to fight them a long with money! The a**holes are in our town & wish,they never have come here! I left & now I am happy where I am! Wish we could tar & feather them & run them out on a rail!

THIS IS TO WENEEDEXERCISE :
You have a HELL of a lot of nerve. WHO the F*** are you to chastise anyone here for being in pain?? Obviously YOU ARE NOT!! My guess is that you are a pharmacist or a pharm tech and you don't like the bashing you are getting here. All said,....everyone posting here is telling of their problems dealing with pharmacies and getting their prescriptions filled.That is the purpose of this message base. If you DON't like what you are reading here ,...GET the HELL out of here!! I am here just reading everything trying to find a solution to the same problem after spending the day riding from pharmacy to pharmacy with the same problem. I don't like spending my time like this much less living in pain. BUT what I REALLY want to say to you is the fact that many here, like myself have already been the route that you suggest and are prescribed these drugs by responsible Dr.s for legitimate reasons but most of ALL, like myself are UNABLE to barely move much less "exercise" as you suggest.
I had a pool put in to help with that years ago. Today I can't even use it for that because it is too hard for me to keep clean in order to use it.
Screw it, son,....I learned a long time ago that you can't talk reason to an unreasonable person. You just better hope and pray that you are never in pain because you will change your tune, I'm sure. I can also tell that you are just a young punk, a "know it all',....well, you won't be that way for long because with age comes wisdom,..oops! that's only for reasonable people, of which you are NOT!! Go away,...

Can I ask how many you are perscribed a day? and what state you are in/ i have been going to Walgreens for years and they decide now what and how much i can take!! My dr. prescribed my meds, walgreens has filled it forever, about 7 months ago they made me change my dose, and i take methadone as well. Now last week they decided i should take less, called my Dr. he wouldnt lower the dose and they said i cant take methadone with it cause they are both breakthrough. Its just a nightmare, now i have to see what they will fill for me!! So what my Dr says isnt good enough. They are now my Dr.!!! and i stay with them cause they always have my meds and its cheaper.

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.

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.

Apparently you don't live in Chronic pain, because if you did you would clearly understand that most people that have it can't even walk without the meds that sometimes don't even kill most of the pain. Vitamins, don't kill pain dear and most chronic pain sufferers have tried other alternatives. How dare you even for one second judge those that have to endure endless excruciating pain on an hourly basis because they want the one thing that keeps them functioning as a human being. I would say more, however I'm being extremely courteous.

I agree with you Melody. It sucks when people have no idea what we go through on a daily basis, sit around and judge us. No one wants to have to rely on pain meds, esp when you are judged every day by everyone in a negative way. When you wake up in pain and go to bed everynight in pain, feel free to come back and put your 2 cents in.
