Pharmacist Refusing To Fill My Script Of Suboxone. What Do I Do??? (Page 4)
(Newest replies first)

I wet to my doc 7 days early because of running out early. I took my new script to pharmacy and said, this is early so I won't be using insurance. My doc said you can call him if necessary. Well no one wanted to. They filled two per day for three days. On the third day I asked to fill the rest on insurance for the next day. I was one day early. When I called the next morning to have my daily two filled the pharmacy manager said no we won't be filling it for another 5 days. Go to the ER for your withdrawals but don't come here because I won't give it to you. Has this happened to anyone else????

I had a very rude pharmacist for years at my local Walgreens, then I discovered a small mom and pop pharmacy next door to my pain management building. Never any attitude, fills my script for morphine, norco etc. every 28 days no problem. Get away from the chain stores, they don't have a clue what it's like to deal with chronic pain!!! It's a shame how they treat us as customers. Same copay and much, much better service!!!Go small business!

Yes been to ER for Pain. Meds I must take having a pain pump just taken out of my body. I got no warnings. Just a bunch dishonesty and stories that did not make sense and when I questioned anything I got rudeness and was dismissed from the store. Now to date I have never been rude or disrespectful..but boy have these Pharmacies employees and most Pharmacists when questioned have treated me poorly in public. Would have been nice to be warned make arrangements for pets and I'm a care giver for my mother now because lack of family ect.Quite frankly I just got out after 60 days with MRSA from pain pump removal operation fighting for my life. I dont want to go back. Same response "go to the ER" and this would happen on the weekend .Uhgg..!.The day before they would say come back tomorrow. ..like its all okay and then tomorrow would be Saturday knowing can't get much done and I would get caught with the we don't have any of your prescriptions meaning both of them in stock and don't know when. You can't see your Doctor. ..so here goes one game " Go to the ER " Guess how the ER treats you there? It's not good at all and the Doctor there at ER has said to me on one visit..".Sure they told you to come here" In a very sarcastic way...Blew my mind since I was new to all of this game playing with lives and these Medical professionals seem to think it's funny, well withdrawals are NOT funny

No, you are reading it wrong! I have a hard time filling oxycodone and dilaudid at the local chain pharmacy's. They do treat you like a street thug! I'm not talking about filling early either...I'm talking the day I was released from the hospital with a neck brace and hospital tag on my wrist?

Tired of hearing ahhh, we're out, but will have some next Tuesday....or well, we only have 70 of your 180 script...ok can I get the remaining 110 next week. No, you'll need another Rx from your doctor. It is ridiculous!! They get you hooked, collect as much $$ and then kick you to the curb!

I consider myself lucky!! I've been through @ 7 surgeries in the past 15 years and I always get off the meds ASAP. I've been on for 2-3 years & get off for a couple years...round & round we go???

Cannabis does help me with minor pain management - a great fill-in for when I stop using opiates.....good luck all....I know it's a challenge every day!!

Buprenorphine is a semisynthetic opioid derivative of thebaine. It is a mixed partial agonist opioid receptor modulator that is used to treat opioid addiction in higher dosages, to control moderate acute pain in non-opioid-tolerant individuals in lower dosages and to control moderate chronic pain in even smaller doses.[3] It is available in a variety of formulations: Cizdol, Subutex, Suboxone, Zubsolv, Bunavail (available as buprenorphine HCl alone or buprenorphine and naloxone HCl (see buprenorphine/naloxone); typically used for opioid addiction), Temgesic (sublingual tablets for moderate to severe pain), Buprenex (solutions for injection often used for acute pain in primary-care settings), Norspan and Butrans (transdermal preparations used for chronic pain).[4]

Especially seeing that Opioid Addiction is now looked at as Chronic Medical Condition..
And Pharmacists, are NOT M.D.s....I don't care WHAT they think. Some of them let it get to their heads that they CONTROL the situation...Withdrawals and misery, or give him or her their meds.

Suboxone is not made to treat pain...like Methadone. Suboxone is a agonist/antagonist..Methadone is a full on Agonist, Schedule II, Synthetic Opioid, that's used for both opioid addiction, and pain management. It was originally created by Nazi Scientists in 1943 for treatment of pain, for the Allies had cut off their Poppy sources...and they called it Para-Codeine...

You MUST talk to your Dr. BEFORE the prescription runs out!! Don't wait till the last day and then scream about it. If they must, cut BACK on what you had left. The one guy this entire system of messages have come from is exhibiting over-usage AND drug seeking behavior. There are some pharmacies that could have kept the prescription, and called the Dr. if they feel drug seeking behavior is exhibited. Course it'd be hard to do seeing as the Dr. wrote the script himself...less it was a refill. Tennessee's gotten RIDICULOUS over this sorta s***. If a Dr. writes the scrip, and the patient says he's run out or the script has been changed....the Pharmacist should just fill it and keep their opinions to themselves...or that's MY opinion...especially with the way people take or steal people's drugs and such now days.

Don't wait around till your out of meds next time. Make SURE your DR. knows whatever dose you'd been taking wasn't holding you. Work it out before the door slams on your thumb!! I'm a Tennessee Bail/Fugitive Recovery Agent...and a Certified Addiction Specialist that privately works in Opioid Addiction...seeing that 75% of the folks I seem to bail out have drug issues/charges. I have to take pain meds due to an auto accident I had and usually once a year I wean myself off for the summer months. If you REALLY want to do it...you can to. And during the winter, I'm on the meanest my Dr. can prescribe, I'm also the only one that comes to him on an as needed basis, but he also knows why too. You've got to keep things in perspective, don't wait till your scripts are out...BE HONEST WITH THE DR...And I do mean your one and only, Pain med Dr. Dr. Shopping will get your ass behind bars with felonies so fast....

Just wanted to reply or comment on how the ER Doctors treat Chronic pain pt. very disrespectful as if we are one of the bad apples. Lying to them and we ate drug users when we are forced to go to hospital due to the Pharmacies are not capable to refill our long time prescription. I have heard every excuse in the on why no refill and the when then the Pharmacists working for large chains of stores become very rude and dishonest on excuses why no refill and treat you like a street drug addict too. This is one of the most degrading, disrespectful humiliating, abuse given time over refill prescription. I have been yelled/talked to as if I was a low down dirty street drug abuser asking for free drugs to feel high. I would never dream I would be forced to endure this in this day and time just to get proper meds. It's discrimination. I'm a paying customer with insurance and at last minute being ohh we are out at Pharmacy and didn't know we will get in...Tell me just go to ER...You go there and upset why should you have to, be nice to know before they didn't have your meds but pharmacy refuse to advise you until day before refill. Get to ER and the Doctor talks and treats you same way. Your Doc has gone home no one to call so your sick and hurting really bad while being verbally abused more...How horrible these medical workers are to do this just because they can. Medical staff should not perform that job or have license to perform if they get some satisfaction of abusing sick patients. All the while I never provoke are start the abuse because what good would it do and I don't believe in being disrespectful to anyone. We don't have change who we are just because of these rude and down right out cruel individuals. This issue along with refills for those that really need and depend on these meds for their life.

Think about it, why did she run out of meds early if they give you a months supply? Is she abusing her meds?

Beth 1989, you need to understand prescription's can not be filled early. The earliest date to fill is 5 days and that depends on pharmacy, mostly mail order pharmacy. Other pharmacy's earliest is 1 day before due date written on your previous bottle. Its not that they are being mean or they don't want to fill it, given her a hard time. THAT'S THE LAW.

Number 1. Depending on earliest date to fill written on prescription by your Doctor.
Number 2. No matter when you got Rx. Pharmacy will fill it 5 Day before your Rx. Is due. This is mainly for mail order Rx.
Number 3. Keep in mind your previous months fill date written on your bottle cus most pharmacy's will not fill till that date.
Number 4. If you are running out of medications before your due date, you should talk to your doctor about that. Might be you are taking more than what your doctor prescribed. (Insurance will not pay before the due date for prescription).

I think if you read the message, she says she tried to get off it three times. I think that's why she stayed on it for 5 years. I can certainly empathise with her, I know for a fact that IF I stopped taking Suboxone, I would never use opiates again, because it's now the Suboxone I'm addicted to!!! That's the drug I would chase if I was to come off Suboxone, I would be chasing Suboxone. Horribly addictive, worse than opiates, I would stop taking if today if I didn't know the withdrawal I was in for. It takes MONTHS, if not years to return to "normal" after using Suboxone. It's a great medication for what it does, but I don't see myself ever coming off it.
