Need To Find A Pharmacy That Fills Subutex Asap!!! (Page 6)

Updated

I have been on subutex for 9 months now. But i have a very big problem next month k mart pharmacy will no longer carry subutex. I live in the tri cities in tn. I have called about 35 pharmacies around they either do not take new people getting subutex or do not carry it at all. I have no insurance i found 1 that cost 340 which is way more than the 215 i paid at k mart. Also some pharmacies I know only carry the small ones which to me do not work as good as the bigger ones. Huge difference. I go back on the 8th next month, so if there is anyone that knows of a good pharmacy in my area your help would be greatly appreciated.

What Rite Aid did you go to? I have a friend in a similar situation. She got her script here in PA but has a WV ID.

People won't usually offer the names of pharmacies, they believe it will lessen the chance of them being able to get their medication. That said, I am from southeast Ohio but I've never used any pharmacies in Columbus. Anyways many pharmacies have recently switched the brand of the medication they carry, so you will have a hard time trying to find Westward (Roxane has been bought out by Westward, so the brand is now WestWard, or Roxane-Westward, and that is what the bottle will say as well). Due to that recent transition, there was a shipping delay as well. I'd advise you to take the Mylan brand (white, round, "M 924"-imprinted tablet); as they are the most similar to the Roxane-WestWard generics. A lot of the pharmacies have replaced the R-WW brand with the Sun Pharma's "460" imprinted tablets and they have several, terrible side effects and are not nearly as effective. So I wouldn't recommend those.

Hey. As far as price, have you heard of BlinkRX? They literally save me hundreds of dollar on my subutex. As far as shortage, idk what's going on, im in ft Lauderdale and we called through 3 counties before we found any. I was just nasty sick for 3 days. Also, on blink theyll tell you who accepts their program, so you can get a start on whom to call.

Does anyone know of a pharmacy around Washington PA or Bridgeville PA (even more toward Pittsburgh or West Virginia) that will fill a 14 day supply of Subutex for WV resident (do have insurance) receiving a script from a PA doctor? Since most people won't give up their pharmacy without something in exchange, I can give the name of a doctor in PA that gives Subutex for $220 per month which is the cheapest I have heard of and I'll swap that information for pharmacy information.

Im in Ft. Lauderdale and the CVS's here are going thru so.e manufacturing change. This time i got the real small ones white, with an 8 and an arrow on the other side, this month i got actavisorange half moons. I think they are gonna stick w the Actavis but im going on pure conjecture. I think they are cheaper.

This is NOT TRUE. Westward Pharmaceuticals bought out Roxane Laboratories but they did not cease the manufacturing of the Roxane 54 411 imprinted 8mg Buprenorphine tablets! The 54 411 tablets have not been REPLACED by any other brand or manufacturer. There was simply a shortage of the Roxane brand Buprenorphine for a while but that seems to be under control now and pharmacies seem to be stocking the 54 411 tablets again. My pharmacy had to replace them with another brand for a little over a month but now have them available again, so they did not quit making the Roxane brand Subutex generic or replace it with any other brand and it IS still available.

AWV304 I go to the same doctor's office, and the other location is actually cheaper. You won't likely find a pharmacy in PA that will take you, and the few that will will only accept cash no insurance so I wouldn't waste my time.

kdmrXohio, I did find a pharmacy, thanks to my niece's husband who just went through the searching for a pharmacy a few weeks ago. In order to receive the information about the pharmacy, I had to promise him I would not tell anyone else. You're definitely correct on the pharmacies being cash only for the Subutex and my insurance does cover mine so that really sucks although my insurance company did tell me I can fill out a reimbursement form and be reimbursed for it so that's excellent news for me. I thought I was just going to be out of $365!

Even with the cost of the medication, it is still CHEAPER than the clinic I was going to here in WV and I don't have to go through all the BS. The clinic I was going to required two hours of counseling WEEKLY, at least one NA meeting weekly plus annual bloodwork and a physical done at another location so just paying the clinic, medication copay and out of pocket expense for gas for all those extra trips every week, I was spending upwards of $800-$900 per month. The new clinic, medication and gas costs about $625 per month and with the reimbursement of the $365 it will only cost $260 a month, gas for travel included. I didn't waste my time and it was indeed worth it for me. What clinic is cheaper than $220 per month? This was the cheapest I was able to find and I do like it so far much better than the WV clinics I have been to.

WOULD ANYONE BE INTERESTED IN STARTING A PETITION TO PROVE THAT THESE BIG CHAIN PHARMACIES (CVS, WALMART, RITE AID, WALGREENS ETC) TREAT US UNFAIRLY BECAUSE OF THE PRESCRIPTION WE GET, REFUSE TO ORDER OUR PREFERRED MEDICATION WHEN THEY VERY WELL COULD EASILY DO SO, AND REFUSE TO FILL OUR PRESCRIPTIONS FOR REASONS LIKE THEY'RE NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS (BUT ONLY FOR THAT MEDICATION), OR BECAUSE OF WHERE WE LIVE OR WHERE OUR DOCTOR'S OFFICE IS, OR ONLY IF WE PAY WITH CASH -- IT'S NOT RIGHT! IT'S DISCRIMINATION! AND ONLY OUR SPEAKING UP WILL CHANGE THAT BECAUSE THE ONLY THING THEY CARE ABOUT IS PROTECTING THEIR REPUTATION! REPLY WITH MY NAME IN THE COMMENT TO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! THANKS!

kdmrXohio - I am most certainly on board with you on the petition. You're right, it IS INDEED discrimination. Pharmacies should NOT be allowed to pick and choose whom they fill legit prescriptions for regardless of how many customers they already have, I was told by a pharmacist a while back that there is not a limit on the quantity of Buprenorphine they can order and there is not a limit on the number of customers a pharmacy can have for the medication either. Pharmacies should never be allowed to bill insurances, especially Medicare and Medicaid, for only cheap or medications they so choose to bill for, if they accept the insurance for ANY medication they should be mandated by law to accept the same insurance for any medication that is covered or partially covered under the customers plan. They should also not be able to say no to a legit script because of the state the doctor wrote the prescription in or the state in which you reside. A reasonable stipulation to this could be they won't fill if the customer is neither from that state and the script is not written in that state, that would be a reasonable reason to say no but just because you see a doctor in PA and live in WV doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to get it filled in PA or WV whichever you so choose. Many people live on the border of WV/PA so it is CLOSER for them to see a PA doctor or vice versa. I am positive that the board of pharmacy where they can check you out to see what you are and have been filling is nationwide now, supposedly that was the previous issue but how is it an issue now? They also shouldn't be allowed to refuse you based on who the doctor is or what the name of the clinic you attend is, if the doctor can legally practice medicine and can write prescriptions for Buprenorphine, whos a pharmacy to say, no we don't fill for that doctor? It's outrageous.

Addicts are CONSTANTLY harassed about getting into treatment but why exactly would anyone want to go into treatment and go through the crap people who obtain legitimate prescriptions have to go through just to get their medication filled? After an addict gets the help, then what? You're not guaranteed to find a pharmacy and you will play hell doing so unless someone is kind enough to point you in the right direction.

If you want to start a petition, I will happily add my name to it and spread the word. I guarantee all of my friends will sign it and honestly, the doctors that give a damn truly would probably pass out or post a flyer notifying people of the petition. I have friends that do not even take Subutex that think how we are treated by these big pharmacies is the most ridiculous thing they have ever heard of that will sign it too. A well written petition would definitely draw some attention. If we, the people this is affecting, do not stand as a whole, no changes will be made. It's up to us to get these changes made and into effect immediately.

I also wanted to follow up about my experience so far with CareZone's mail order pharmacy. So far, everything has went smoothly. After getting my initial prescription filled at the pharmacy and paying cash, CareZone should pick up from here and mail my medication out so that I will receive it when it is due again next month. After a quick phone call to CareZone, they took my doctors name, clinic name and number and pharmacy name and number and said they will contact the doctor and get my next refill ordered so it can be shipped to arrive right on time so I'm not any time without my medication. They said everything looked like it was good to go and if any issue arose, they would contact me promptly. I placed my order on the 4th and I have not heard anything so everything must be okay with my prescription being mailed. If your doctor is willing to allow you to participate in the mail order program (most are), all you need to do is go to carezone.com and create an account and upload your insurance cards and a photo of your prescription bottle and place an order. Once you have an account you can also call CareZone to order your medication. Your doctor can also fax or e-prescribe your medication and send it to CareZone that way but you will need a minimum of a twelve day supply on hand so I do recommend calling before your next refill is due if you currently have at least a twelve day supply. I will post an update once I hear more and let everyone know how it goes.

CVS is REALLY bad about deciding WHEN to fill an Rx too. Like MOST pharmacists there will fill on Day 28...BUT they can make their own rules & decide to fill it on Day 29 or 30. I'm sick of it.

CVS is bad about who they will fill prescriptions for also. I've been to several different CVS pharmacies and all of them say you have to currently be getting your Bup script filled there before they will fill it. You would think these big pharmacies would want those extra $$$ and would accept new patients but apparently not. I've found it's best to try to stick with the little hole in the wall, mom and pop type pharmacies. Generally, they will fill your script without any problem unless they don't carry the medication but even many that don't will order it if you ask them to. This has been the case for me on almost every occasion. So, if you are one of the MANY that is unable to find a pharmacy to fill your Bup script, try to find the small, non-chain pharmacies and you will most likely have success pretty quickly.

Richie, the brand is something I have already inquired about at CareZone. They do carry multiple brands and I do know for certain they carry the Roxane-WestWard 54 411 and the Mylan M 924 tablets both which are both pretty good. When I spoke with them regarding which brand I would receive the pharmacist at CareZone said if I had a specific brand preference, to ask my doctor to note the brand to mail on my prescription. Also, they made a note of my brand preference in my file. Basically they carry all of the Buprenorphine brands and they will ship you whichever one you prefer. Most doctors won't have an issue noting a specific brand on the prescription if that is what works best for you but if they do have a problem with doing it, you can write CareZone or call them and request the specific brand that works best for you and that is what you will receive.

I will definitely post a follow up when I receive my medication from them and let everyone know how it went. I should receive it sometime around the 31st so I will be able to review the entire process from start to finish with mail order from CareZone. So far it does seem to be am excellent service and they treat you like a valued customer and try to make things as easy as possible for you. So far, here are some key points for ordering your Buprenorphine products through CareZone that you will need to know:

° They DO accept insurance and you MUST have a valid state or government issued photo ID to upload to them.
° If they accept your insurance, your copay will be the same as it is at a regular pharmacy.
° They DO accept certain RX discount cards.
° You CAN select the day each month you would like to be billed for your medication or copays.
° For your initial order, you will be required to have AT LEAST a 12 DAY supply of all medications you wish to receive from CareZone mail order and you can transfer all of your medication to them.
° Your medication will arrive in presorted individual pill packets for each dose. If you are on more than one medication, they will presort each dose for you.
° CareZone will merge ALL of your medication refill dates so ALL medication you take will come due for refill on the same date each month. In order to do this, you may not receive a full month supply of each medication but no worries because your next refill will arrive on or before it's due date.
° You can receive as little as a one month and as much as a three month supply of all your medication including Buprenorphine as long as your doctor agrees.
° Your medication will arrive on time for your next refill, either the exact day it is due or a day or two before it is actually due so there isn't any missed doses or days without medication in between.
° There is NO shipping fee for your medication! It's always free.
° CareZone will take care of calling your pharmacy and doctor to get your refills for you when you run out. They do all the work and ship your package discreetly to your doorstep.

After I actually receive my first shipment from CareZone Pharmacy, I will post a review start to finish about their services. This is one way you can receive your medication without the hassle of trying to find a pharmacy to fill your prescription, you will only need to get a one time 12 day supply filled at a brick and mortar store and thereafter, you will receive it via mail order. Also, I was extended an offer from CareZone when I placed my order on some really good vitamins. If you take vitamins, you can get a month supply completely free from CareZone and then every month after you will be billed for them. I did receive my vitamins and they are great. There's 5 different vitamins in the pack and each dose is packed in small easy open plastic packets. You just open it and all five vitamins are inside. Makes taking them very convenient and for free, you cannot beat the offer.
