Oxycodone Shortage Scam (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Guys, i hate to tell you this but its all bulls***>>> after 3 weeks trying to fill my Oxy 30, 140, i finally got to speak to my Pharm Manager who Ive used for 12 years. He told me straight up, that all the calls and people have hurt their regular business, so they decided to stop ordering Oxy in any amout to avoid the crap I was floored as all of a sudden he filled my script on the spot not 30 secs before they were all telling me they didnt have any. He told me last that would be the last one filled as hes not ordering anymore. I discussed with him about just oredering for me, as I'm legit and trying to follow the rules by using only one doctor and one pharmacy. He said he"ll consider it just for me. What a bunch S***!!! This from a guy Ive known for 12 years. It is a Walgreens, This is a conspiricy to avoid all of the drug seekers at our expense. They should go back to getting it off the street and leave us alone. How many more of us have to suffer? Im dag gone tired of being looked at as a druggy as I limp up to the counter. I spent 30 years as a cop on the job in New York, shot in the leg and arm for the citizens I swore to protect and now to be treated like the guys I put in the slammer? Im sure there are plenty of us on the blog. What the hell? Anybody know a good attorney? I guess I should start taking Morphine or Herion and sleep all day since I cant get the medication that works and this is America? Sound off you guys its the only way were going to be heard. God Bless you.

Amen!!! Sorry about ur husbands pain, I to was on almost the same amount before my back surgery & when I woke up from being cut stem to stern, wasn't thinking that was gonna happen, they had me on 15 mg morphine & 5mg oxy for 2 weeks the just 5 mg oxy... We'll 3lbs of titanium later & a screaming tail bone I'm back on 30s after almost 3 months out, which will change every month as my surgeon & primary seem to think this is a walk in the park but the surgeon is always puffed up about how he did this & not many people have had there near entire spine fused! Hmmm they seem to know my pain? Psychic too wonder if he or they can tell me what #s to pick for lotto! So anyway it so depends on tolerance & length of time you've gradually went up…so those who say we r druggies I pray for you that you don't ever need a pain pill of have to live with chronic pain.

Who are you to decide what someone is tolerant of taking? Are you a licensed physician who specializes in pain management patients? I'm assuming that would be a no. Don't down someone for what they do because it isn't your place to judge 'Gizmo' or anybody else using opiates. Give him props for actually trying to go about it the legal way. Small minded people who don't understand tolerance, dependence or addiction shouldn't voice their opinions until they have done extensive research or been through it personally.

H doesn't necessarily make you sleep all day, as a matter-of-fact it wakes me up. You would be surprised to know how many H addicts are around you working and living a "normal" life.

I think your judging is wrong. I am 34 and have been fighting a rare neurological disease for 11 years. Doing 5 month stints in the hospital from complications. I am in a wheelchair now fighting for my life and to walk. The nerve and muscle pain is horrific and not being able to live a normal life is worse. I have a b.s in finance from Siena college that I can't use. However I only take my dose when pain starts not before so it is harder for my body to get used to an exact time. I have a photogenic memory so my mind is clear. Without the dose a very well respected Dr. In my area gives me the amount of pain I am in would put extra stress on my organs that my body doesn't need. I also need to have weekly white blood cell transfusions to help me along. Don't go putting everyone in the same group and then judging them. There are people out there who suffer horribly and need high doses. Would you call someone riddled with cancer a druggie? Or someone with a rare disease like me? One day you might be in my position and then would be just like the people you are chastising.

Be honest W algreens isn't a good pharmacy I would try Wal-Mart they never run out and they don't care what your script is not sure what state you're from but I Live in the smallest town ever and everyone has ran out but Wal-Mart cAuse they supply allot of people Walgreen have a for hour narcotic hold which means they can only open the narcotics box five times a day and you might have to wait a couple of days to get them but I never wait more than an hour and they always have them if the Wal-Mart you go to don't have them try another Wal-Mart and tell them that you ate gonna start coming here every month and they will keep them in stock for you not only that you can request what type of oxys you want if you find a certain one that works for you

You have no idea about life with serious, chronic pain. Mind your own business.

The only way youre gonna find a Pharma to fill these is to have a relationship with them. You can't just cruise in looking for 30s, it won't happen. I originally started with 5s, every single Pharma will fill these for you, no questions asked. Then I graduated up to 10s, 15s, 20s, and now 30s over the course of 2 years. All major pharmacies carry 30s, they are almost NEVER OUT of stock, but not anyone can get them. Like I said you have to get a script for 5s and pick a pharmacy and stick with them, or at least the same chain. Because if by chance your normal branch store is out they will look in their computer system and have a neighboring branch fill them for you. After 2 months or so go up to 10s, 15s, 20s, then after a year hit the 30s. Its not rocket science here. If you want to start out with 30s you best walk in prepared. You better have documents with at least 6-12 months of prescription history on it, ID, and a list of other meds you take. The more meds you take the better off you will be bc they want your biz.

Do not be so quick. I was bedridden and in and out of pain clinics from age 20 when I was hit by a drunk driver and age 35--when someone gave me a lot more oxy than that. Now, I am a 63 year old college professor, about to retire, on a high dose of oxy tbut a dose that has not changed for 28 years, Oxycodone gave me my life back. As far as the doctor who had the compassion to believe me that the pain was that continual and that BAD, she remains my H. I have had no problems from almost 30 years of high oxy consumption for medical purposes. I am a contributing member of society with a good marriage and happy kids. Call me a junkie if you get off on the feeling of moral superiority that obviously gives you.

You are a fool and obviously have never felt the kind of pain this guy is in. Get your uneducated ideas off of this website. Maybe one day you'll wake up with severe arthritis or another type of legitimate pain and I hope no one gives you medicine. Its people like you that keep patients from taking the medications they need for pain just as much as a diabetic needs insulin. They don't want the judgment. You are the problem.
Thirty milligrams becomes a legitimate prescription as a person uses the medication long term they develop tolerance. Scientifically proven fact. The medication lasts 4-6 hours. That's 120- 180 pills a month for chronic pain.
Grow a brain and get off this website cuz obviously you don't need to be here.

I completely agree. I worked as a legal assistant for 10 yrs before having my 2 boys. I broke my pelvis having the first child and have been on oxycodone ever since. I even went to my regular pharmacy 3 days before bringing the script in. The morning I come in with the script there is a broken window at the pharmacy and a crime scene truck and 2police cars. Basically this thef totally made out with my preordered prescription and some other controlled substances. I drove to every f'n pharmacy and not even a concrete date as to when they will have it. I'm a stay at home mom who can't even pick my kids up because of pain. In 1 pharmacy I started crying saying "don't u know how addicting and what a physical effect they have on our bodies???? How is this f***in. Possible to do this to people in real pain. Seriously looking into a discrimination suit against these pharmacies. I'm at that point. I swear I am looking into it 4sure!!!!!!!!
