2012 Oxycodone 30mg Shortage In Florida (Page 3)
Updated
Looking4Advice Says:
My spouse, who is in severe, chronic pain, has been a customer of Walgreens for many years. We live in Pinellas County, Florida. Everyday this week we have driven from Walgreen's to Walgreen's trying to fill his prescription for Roxicodone 30mg, to no avail. I cannot get any help from his regular pharmacy. I know that it's dangerous for them to tell a total stranger which store has them in stock, but I don't understand since they know him, why they can't call around or give us any assistance. I am at a total loss as to what to do & would appreciate any information that you could provide. It is so hard to see him in so much pain. Thank you.

Just thought I would pass this on . . . Caremark will fill your prescription by mail for Oxycodone as long as you have a valid MRI that your doctor is willing to send them. I gave up driviing all over town because I went through the same thing. Hopefully mail order will work for you : )

shiLark - my Doc has been trying to get me to use morphine instead of oxys because of all the issues right now but I was under the impression that they make you xtremely drowsy, non-functional...is this not accurate?

Just an FYI - the Walgreens on 436 (Altamonte Springs) finally got oxycodone 30mg in today, after waiting 3+ weeks for them...BUT, as of June 1st they have a new restriction - they now have a 15mile radius, or was it 5mile, where they will no longer fill Rxs if your ID address is not within that radius...I've been going to this pharmacy for 2 1/2 years and today I was refused...this is the ONLY pharmacy I've found that even has it and the Pharmacist, who has assisted me many times in the past, was not budging on this new "rule"...so they are making it more and more difficult to get oxycodone scripts filled...and a customer ahead of me was given a hard time because he didn't have a long-acting, or extended release, medicine to go along with the short-acting...so this is another new restriction as of the 1st of June....unbelievable!

Thanks Scratchy for the info. Will check into that. So the filling of the scripts within a certain perimeter seems to be happening in other places as well.WOW!! I can only truly hope that the powers that be do not ever get a loved one that needs some sort of medication and cannot get it. What goes around comes around. We are trying Target this week, been waiting for the pharmacy manager to get back into town and speak with her. You would think that a town as big as Jax there would not be a problem.

Felice I think it is like any other drug, it depends on how your body reacts to it, you know. I would suggest doing some research on it and maybe get your doc to write you a small script and see how it works for you. My brother cannot take them and I do know you have to eat before taking as they can affect your stomach acids quite badly. I see the whiplash of the DEA with Walgreens is effecting us all everywhere.

I dropped my prescription off at a Walmart grocery store pharmacy. The pharmacist and his entire staff were very professional and courteous. I had been told by every other pharmacy including larger Walmart's that I couldn't drop my script off because it was a narcotic. However this is the second Walmart in a year to allow me to drop it off and guarantee when I would have it. Safe to say I've found my new pharmacy.

The same thing happened to me but at CVS. The pharmacist wasn't "comfortable" filling my script. I go to Kmart as a regular customer for over 3 years & when they are out Walgreens normally has them. In years only once was I denied. I have spent 2 days 10 hours a day looking. I was told I was the 500th person today....I don't understand what is going on. I thought that only legitimate pain sufferers would be writtin scripts. So there shouldn't be an issue, should there?
The junkies are going to obtain their drug by any means necessary, you can believe that! Robbing banks, pharmacies, this just creates crime...which does pay if your the state. They make money off of ppls misery, pain & suffering!

It is actually against federal law for a pharmacy to deny to fill a script if u or ur doctor aren't from the county from which u are trying to fill in. This is just a Florida thing and I'm not sure how they are getting away with this. I live in Florida but travel to ny once a month. When I can't find my meds in Florida I just bring my script to ny and get it filled with no problems. I found this out around a year ago when I couldn't fill my script and was leaving for ny. When I called the local pharmacy in ny I was told that a pharmacy in any of the 50 states has to fill a script from any doctor in the 50 states since the doctor is lic. By the dea. So my question to everyone is how Florida getting away with this county restriction? Food for thought!
