Ha I used to go to him 13 years ago and hes in it for the money. I dont get it, I have a legal rx and cant fill it anywhere. I have aetna insurance they assured me that they would fill the RX as I was apprehensive. Then I saw that the order was cancelled and they put some foreign a**hole on the phone and the only thing I understood was policy change. They should've told me this before and were unapologetic. Now im back at square one and f***ed. Im in port Charlotte and every pharmacy reserves the pills they get for their regulars. It's just f***ed up

Carlos, I remember months ago arguing with another poster over Obamacare, and how this person thought it would help pain patients. Not so. OC is slated to take $716B out of Medicare to fund its program over the next 10 years, which has already caused many doctors to start denying Medicare coverage to new and some existing patients.

The BS about premiums going down was also a lie, as already this year (by May 1st) I had exceeded my caps upper limit and had to start paying out-of-pocket, despite paying even more at the front end. Thankfully, I have secondary coverage via the wife; if not, I couldn't afford the costs.

We also see private insurers (like Aetna) getting out of the business because they simply can't compete against a government program that essentially has limitless resources, even when they are losing money. Aetna was a good company that individual patients could turn to for coverage, but the DEA even started pressuring them over their mail order policies.

The bottom line is as these government programs become less sustainable, they will get into picking and choosing who and what is covered and sadly, because of the stigma now attached to pain medicine, pain patients will get the short end of the stick.

For those looking for change its time to start writing and calling local congressmen...frequently. There are as many of us, if not more, who are getting adversely harmed by all these new policies than those who selfishly abused these medicines. Finding an attorney is also a chore to take on an issue like this, but someone might want to check into Mark Nejane to see we're he stands. He is already defending some of the Dr's who've been unfairly "charged" (1st/2nd degree murder) and may be sympathetic to the patients position, as well. I believe he's already had a couple jury acquittals.

As is always the case, government overreacts to a problem that leads to more problems than the original complaint. How many deaths are now happening because of suicide or self-medicating patients who can't get their medicines. How many legitimate pain patients are turning to illegal means to acquire these medicines...or worse, dabbling with even more dangerous substances, risking further disability and death. I just don't see things getting better unless we take a stand. Sorry for the rant.

It really is a shame when the federal government gets involved because you know how well they handle things, the always screw it up. Sadly they don't look at you as a patient or at your health problems they look at you as a number, they do not have medical degrees or any knowledge of medicine or pharmacology, the legislators in congress or the senate have their own private doctors so the laws that apply to us do not apply to them. If a congressman, senator or the president or any member of their family need pain meds they get them with no background check, no drug test, no fingerprinting etc. if they run short or the 30th day falls on a Sunday they can get them filled a day or two before. They don't have to go through what we have to go through, all the red tape and bureaucracy... All these federal and state regulations do not apply to the people who wrote them, voted on them or signed them into law.....

What annoys me is that because of these "rules/goals" doctors are making decisions regarding patient care BEFORE seeing the patient. The pain doctor (that term still seems foreign to me...pain doctor) I see made a determination last week to reduce the IR meds (Such as MSIR). This is done in response to the rules and have nothing to do with patient care or status.
Re Obamacare, my insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield) sent me a notice that they were cancelling all policies such as mine as of 01/01/14. The state I live in is one of the 27 that has refused to set up state insurers. I thought with Obama, while I disagree with his international policy, I thought perhaps on national issues he would benefit the middle class (what is left of it). It seems as if the gap has become larger with the haves getting exemption and the rest out of luck. I really am, after 30 years working, deciding which meds I can afford, cancelling dr appointments. Very sad and depressing.

It would be nice if docs would increase our doses substantially so we could stockpile them when the time comes for us getting cut off---they are trying to pass laws for ALL opiates to be anti abuse which means there will be more poison in it to kill us-theyre also trying to make a 90 day maximum for noncancer patients

Why didn't you go to school to become a doctor.. If u feel the need to question their expertise. And for you to turn down people on your thought of them 'looking like they are not in pain'..how exactly do you determine wether someone needs a medication or not when you can not prescribe that medication and have no knowledge to their health issues. Also as a pharmacist..shouldn't you be worried that a medication like that is not recommended to stop cold turkey...especially if that person has other health issues..it may cause death. Its sad that now our home pharmacies that we have used for years filling the same Roxy script for the same #180 and now all of a sudden decide that its no linger needed for that person. And the real problem that bothers me is after being denied the medication ...that pharmacist will say..try the mom and pop...when let's face it that is where the drug dealers go... I have to ask myself what is the world coming to when I can't get my scripts filled at my home pharmacy that ive been using for years..all because of the pharmacists like yourself choose to not only discriminate but question a real doctors reasonomg for a medication..when u as tge pharmacist have no knowledge as to the reason or extent of anybodys pain. Also for u to say that us getting upset wont get us no where and that we should be nice..blows me away..your playing with others quality of life.

Hi all,

It would be nice if we could just jave an opiate/opioid dispensary like the medical marijuana patients have. Have our yearly doctor visit have them give us a card and WE GET WHAT WE NEED monthly at our own discretion. The plants God put here for our use should be legal anyway. I had horrible restless leg last night because they couldnt fill my script till this morning. I took a non controlled gabapentin and my God! I went to relieve my self in the middle of the night and th trip to the restroom was alike a bad acid trip with xanax and something else thrown in the mix, this morning, i came 1/4 of an inch of getting hit by an off duty ambulance. I would have loved for a cop so say, "what are you on." And i reply, "oh its the stuff politicians and law enforcement want to prescribe..gabapentin"

I live in Fort Myers, FL.> with severe herniated disc pain (62), I have to need my meds to perform work on cars, house and take care of my 92 year old father. I have no problem getting doctors to prescribe, just can not find mail order or local pharma, that has 90 30MG Oxycodone's in stock. PAM BONDI, has stopped the shipments of pain meds to the pharmacies. My father has suffered more than myself, someone should burn in hell, for what they are doing to the elderly. I thought I was in Vietnam recently visiting a nursing home with many elderly pulled off there meds, it was an insane asylum. They are trying to kill the over 70 population. Anyone know of mail order or local pharma in Fort Myers with Percoset or 30MG oxycodone, other pain killers, "do not give me energy", like oxycodone.

Please allow me to aplogize for raising my voice but...
IT IS NOT THE PHARMACISTS!!!
IT IS THE DEA.
THAT'S RIGHT FLORIDA...THE DEA!
They just pulled my pharmacists license for 6-12 months. These are the a$@holes playing doctor.
If you would write your congressman and Pam Bondi "en mass" perhaps we could bring a voice to the suffering. Website Morgan and Morgan, attorney is trying to get medical marihuana. Please go there and vote! Medical pot is a start, maybe then, with all this damn technology we have in 2013, they can tell a patient from a junkie. God bless!

Hi I have Blue Cross Blue Shield through NYS. Empire. They sent notice cancelling all policies as of 12/31/2013. This may only be for NY, I am not sure. They advised me to start searching for a replacement 10/01 at the exchanges.

Hi
I appreciate your positive outlook and all that you have posted. Since I had been diagnosed with stage 3c cancer I am constantly told how important a good attitude is (while being given news and situations that lead to very bad attitudes). Trying to stick to the topic of the board, I am dealing with pain for a few years now. It was not until I came to Fl to be close to family and Moffit that I have run into unbelievable challenges regarding treatment. The initial problem is that no one openly states the truth. CVS, Walgreens, etc do not say we will not now nor ever fill your rx. They told me for over one week, come back tomorrow they are on order. I now know this is a lie as the patient getting a transfusion in the chemo room next to me showed me he had gotten an rx filled the same day I was told "come back tomorrow". By the time another customer waiting in line at Walgreens told me what was happening, I had one day left of meds. Were it not for my NY doctor And NY pharmacy who was concerned about my heart should I stop, I have no idea what I would have done. Whoever, whatever is doing this is really putting the lives of the sick at risk, I have no doubt that lives have been lost because of this policy.

Hi Liferune. I am sorry for what you are going through regarding your license. It is truly an infuriating situation. The reason there is some hostility towards pharmacists may have to do with the way SOME of them are dealing with this travesty. The pharmacists at the chains are by far the worst. I went to no fewer than 9 CVS and Walgreens the first day I was about to run out of meds and before speaking to their corp headquarters. Everyone of the 9 treated me like some corner drug dealer. It was only when my doctor called one on Fruitville that they did the DEA check, showing I was seeing an oncologist, being prescribed these meds for an extended period since being diagnosed, and not doctor shopping. Even then they would not fill it until the doctor sent them notice of specifics about my disease. I have had many operations, some a bit private and while I am not ashamed of getting cancer I really do not want to share the specifics of my disease with the pharmacist. The pharmacist had this uncaring cocky attitude that totally threw me.
What is going on here is so wrong I can not believe there are not newspapers and news stations scrambling to report it. Instead of enforcing laws aimed at punishing criminals, the state of Florida has enacted laws that hurts legitimate patients. I know there are people facing the nightmare I did every day in Florida. This is a beautiful wonderful state with a great history, This situation is a blemish, a cancerous blemish on its reputation.

While I agree that the DEA is at the heart of this problem, pharmacists are just beneath them in culpability. As C has mentioned and I've witnessed first-hand, many pharmacists are being duplicitous with the treatment of their customers. Pharmacists, more than anyone, know the adverse effects of abruptly discontinuing use of Sch. II drugs, especially in the elderly or I'll-health patient. Yet, they intentionally misinform the customer on the availability of these drugs.

There are no new laws WRT dispensing or quantity that can be dispensed, yet I have two local Walgreens that have set two different quantity levels. One Walgreens says you have to be within 5 miles of your Drs office to fill a Rx, while another says you have to be within 5 miles if your residence. Ironically, I use one that is well over 5 miles from either location.

While I have been fortunate thanks to plenty of documentation and insurance, my friend spends literally weeks after every appointment trying to fill his Rx because he doesn't have insurance. Instead of being honest about their intentions, just about every pharmacist lies about availability. From out of stock to quota met to new laws like 80/20, etc...they just won't tell the truth. This just leads to more anger as customers return a week later to hear, "our shipment didn't come in." It's BS and it's all got to stop.

What's even more disgusting is that if my friend wants to spend up to $1400 (cash only) on his 120 Os and 60 MSCs, he can visit any number of independent pharmacies with no questions asked. Ironic, since it usually only a drug dealer that can afford these prices as these pharmacies operate freely without any DEA concerns...or at least violating price-gouging laws. One pharmacist admitted as much saying he knows that most his customers sell their Rx which is why he doesn't have a problem with his prices.

These new policies have done nothing more than make some pharmacists and drug dealers wealthier (supply/demand), while legitimate PPs are made to suffer, with some turning to criminal acts to survive. H use is on the rise, as others go broke turning to the black-market. Sadly, people are still dying, you just won't hear their stories in the news as ODs are more sensational than suicide and depression-related deaths.
