I have been on medicaid for 3 years now and they have paid for all of my oxycodone.. if that isnt legit enough i dont know what is.. when the state gov is actually paying and keeping track of your scripts what more proof could i offer.. but now it seems i can not find a pharmacy that will fill any oxycodone.. I am a local in Jacksonville also.. please if anyone can help please.. i do not abuse or distribute i just take what i need to help me be active with my 3 children and live a normal life.. now im going through withdrawls and beyond that if i beat the withdrawls then im having trouble getting out the bed or walking or even sitting too long.. its not a good life .. the medicine really does help me live a normal productive life.. please if anyone can help.. any ideas at all my family and I would be more then grateful thank you

Man, I feel your pain.I have some of the same pain issues as you do but can NOT seem to be able to find the oxycodone 30mg or the 15 mg anywhere.I have been out of my meds since December 2011.I live near Brunswick Ga and I have gone everywhere in Ga and Fl looking for my medication.I have found one drug store that is price gauging and is charging about four dollars a pill.The sickening thing about it is that they tell me they get it EVERY morning, to be there at 9.00am.This makes me furious that someone like them can get the oxycodone but the legitimate pharmacies like wall Mart, cvs, rite aid etc say they dont have it and it is always on back order.I am like you man, I have had several surgeries and I am in terrible pain and dont know what to do. Also, by me living just across the Ga line the ones that have it say they cant sell it to me.If you find the medication ,I would appreciate it if you would let me know. Thanks man........Freddy

My main question for you is...how are you checking with the pharmacies to see if they have it in stock?

If you are calling them, then it isn't likely that you will get a straight, honest answer, because they have no way of knowing if the person on the phone is a legitimate customer with a need, or a potential thief.

Therefore, the only way you can really find out is by actually going into the pharmacy, with your prescription in hand.

I was calling but stopped as i know by many responses i have seen to similar questions.. but then as i read more it seems everyone is having trouble regardless of going there or not.. so i was just checking to see what pharmacies are more likely to carry what i need.. I have been to the hospital many times and they told me to see a pain mngmnt doc so i did.. now i am being prescribed this and its like im looked at so bad and cant seem to find it.. why is this? Im told by doctors to do something and i do it.. then i cant get it and its back to the hospital..
I just wanted to see if anyone knew what pharmacies would be more likely to have it in stock in jacksonville fl.. please if you can help at all it would be greatly appreciated please

Hello Doogie;
I know exactly how it fills to be turned away by every pharmacy in town. I am like you, true patient and I'm sick and tired of being treated like a junkie everytime i go and get my prescription filled. The Pharmacist is not a Doctor, but they think that they have a right to look at you and judge if you really need the medecation or not. I find that out one day when i went to get it filled at one of the most well known pharmacies and he looked at me from head to toe and said;" Your pretty young to be prescribed this medication, what is wrong with you for the doctor to give you this?" This was 7 years ago and i never went back to that Pharmacy again.

I put $130.00 in gas in my car just driving around looking for Oxycodone IR 30mg one month. They can not tell you on the phone but I dont know why one cant tell you buy looking on the computer or something if another one as it or not after they have seen your script especially if i get them at that pharmacy every single month. Anyway, it seems that I have always found them at a big chain Pharmacy, and away from the highway exits. I think that alot of people, especially in J-ville, get on the highway, get off at every exit and try those pharmacies and so on til they find them. So stay away from those. And the little pharmacies r just serving their regular patiences most of the time so that is a waste of time also. Here are some pharmacies that carry them but cant promise if they will have them when you go. Walgreens (get their shipments on Thursdays they said), Winn-dixie, Publix, Target and Wal-mart. I heard CVS does not carry them at all anymore so I have'nt tried them.

Well good luck to you and hope this problem is solved soon.

I live in West Central Florida and my husband who is 67 and has been on oxycodone for many years for a host of pain issues went to Walgreens to fill his script, which he did for years and they told hi that they did not have any( 30's or 15's) and wouldn't be getting them in until March. This was in January. His Dr had to switch him to morphene. Then a few days later he overheard a pharmacy Tech saying that they did have the oxy's but were giving them out only to those patients that they knew. My husband went to the Manager and the following month, he had them filled, no problem. I had just had surgery in December and in January but was on 10mg 2x a day and I had no problem filling mine. It is now March, so I hope that the poor people who really need this medication for moderate to severe pain are finally being helped. The problem comes from some people who go to Doctors who write scripts so freely for any reason here in Florida and they run out and the companies that supply them will not give them any more. Things were bad here for a long time. It didn't matter what Pharmacy you went to, they all said they were out. I am getting off of them, even though I still have pain because I envision a day when this will happen again and the people that really need them will not be able to get them at all. God Bless You all, Carol

Verwon and Doogie, It dosen't even matter if you wentin person. When my husband handed them his 30 mg script and they said that they didn't have it, he asked about 15's so he could go back to his Pain Management Dr to change his script. The wouldn't even tell him if they had the 15's or not and said it was a Federal Law and could not tell him. They also, as others here have said, wouldn't try and help by calling other stores in their chain. The only reason that I got mine is I walked in with a script for 10 mg and they just filled it. Again, God Bless You all, Carol

I can not believe how diificult it is to find the oxycodones, its seems like it has gotten so much harder to find this year, 2012, than ever before. Which to me doesnt add up because they have closed most of the "pill mills" in J-ville.
My advice is to be consistent and try to go to the same pharmacy EVERY month, on the same day of the week around the same time of day. This way you start to look familar to the tech or pharmists on duty and eventually they will start to be honest about whether they have them or not.
Also, try to stay in your zip code, some pharmicist will only fill if your drivers license has the same zip code as the pharmacy.
My usual spots are, Winn Dixie, Walgreens, Publix...in that order.
Few tips Ive learned over the years:
1.Dress Nice, they dont want a bunch of underdressed trashy looking people in their pharmacy
2.If you have tried all the chain stores, try mom and pops starting with the cheaper ones. Premier is like $2.50 a pill (THEY GET SHIPMENT ON TUESDAYS, GONE BY WEDNESDAY), Prestons just went up to $3.50, Smart is $5, Watson is $5 or $6.
3.Try areas that have a large retirement community or the "richer" neighborhoods.
Good Luck, I go to Dr. today and all the stories are making me nervous!

Hey Doogie;
Me again, my mom works at the hospital and her roomate just had her hip replaced. She was sent home with Roxy 30s and got them right away at Target. My mom said that she asked around at work and a lot of peeps told her Target. So i would try Target if i were you. Good Luck!

I have SLE Lupus which causes me to be in chronic pain on a daily basis. I have a child with ADHD and a child with cystic fibrosis so needless to say life must go on for me. I am on this medication because I don't want to be on anything stronger and I have been on this medication for years for legitimate pain reasons not to abuse or sell my medicine. It's gonna be an ongoing problem until a lot of the "pill mill" doctors are shut down. The problem got significantly worse once they made oxycontin into a safety pill. That being said it shows just how many people truly abuse the medicine now that they cannot misuse the oxycontin. I truly pray that this problem will get better soon. This month I had to physically visit about 50 pharmacies which caused my lupus flare and I have been in horrible pain due to driving all over town when I prefer to fill all of my monthly medications at one pharmacy. I would be willing to allow you to interview me and would love to share some of my medical records and reasons for needing this as well as share the struggle so you can get a first hand look at this epidemic.

It's ridiculous! I've been filling my oxycodone script at the same pharmacy for over a year. Suddenly they are at their limit and can't fill them until the first of the month. The only reason I take this kind of medicine is because I can't take acetaminophen. It's crazy that it's easier to fill morphine. I use the same doc, same pharmacy and never try to manipulate the system. I have an illness that is ravaging my body and I'm in constant pain. This medicine isn't for recreational for me. The abusers are probably the only people not suffering!

My fiance was in a wreck in 2009. In that accident he lost his leg, the other has metal rods and both his hips had to be rebuilt. We have been getting his perscription filled at the same pharmacy for over a year and the last 2 months they have been telling him that it is the manufacturer. I dont know if you can help or not, we are at our wits end. He is in SO MUCH PAIN and we have checked just about every where.

Someone needs to report in it. I live 2hrs south of atl and am in same predicament here. Used to be able to get entire script for under two hundred n had no problem getting every month now i have to break my one script into two or three n getting it that way n the price gouging when i can find them costs me upwards 800.00 or more a month now. Iv had to split other meds up n not take other meds i need daily just so i can pay for my pain meds that are for legit reasons. Without them tho i may not be able to get out of bed in the mornings n live my life. We need help getting our medication. Especially LEGIT customers. People in these pharmacies look at me all the time like im an addict or getting these for some other reason like abusing or selling. I am not and need my prescribed meds from my Dr so i can live my life. The pharmacist should not be able make that decision for me. Also thank you to those few who treat me like a patient and not an addict!

I would make the switch to Oxycontin like I did. I was on Oxycodone for years,and had the same experience as everyone else. The very last pharmacies in Jax to carry it was the CVS and neighboring Walgreens on the corner of Atlantic Avenue at 1st St in Atlantic Beach.

Then they stopped.

The Oxycontin ER - is derived from the Roxicontin "gummy bear" system that suspends the drug in a hard chewy medium to prevent abuse. I originally was on a high dose one or two a day old-school Oxycontin pills and when the dope heads were smashing them up and making Hillbilly H, Florida's AG Pam "Pill Mill" Bondi made a name for herself in War on Pill Mills.

My main gripe with Oxycontin was the time it took to get to peak dosage. I took about one pill every 12-hours which had a slow release. You would need to wait about an hour before a sufficient amount of metabolized Oxy was in your blood stream to where you could really feel it make difference. But, it would not reach peak doze until another hour later and then level off for about 8 hours, during which it was quite effective as an analgesic, and the ride back down and out took another two hours.

Go with three 20mg Oxycontin pills per day or two 30mgs. Same daily doze. You'll get used to it if you start your second pill during the last hour of the previous one. These gummy bears can be split with a pill cutter and the split pill does not change the way the drug is released. But it's time in the blood stream is lower than a whole pill and there is a faster decline.

I know how you feel. You can try a pharmacy on lem turner called Jax pharm. they will sometimes if you have enough prescriptions usually about 6 or so they will fill the oxycodone for you if you are legit. You must have more non narcotic scripts than ones considered narcotics something to do with the law. They will accept Medicaid also. Now there is a new place in Yulee florida a new pharmacy but don't know much about them you can try but do know the one on lem turner did if you are legit. Try them.

I've been unable to find my medication in over a month and I'm feeling more hopeless by the day. I'm an prescribed oxycodone 30mg and Ms contin ER 60mg. After years of trying everything except pain meds, I started taking percocet a couple of years ago. While it offered release of my pain I was worried about the acetaminophen so after trial and error my doctor and I found a regimen that gives me quality of life with the least impactful side effects. After not being able to find my meds I went to my scheduled appointment and my doctor cut down my medications by around 30-40%. He said he was required to because of how long I went without. Doesn't matter that my life has been hell. I thought maybe I'll have better luck with a much smaller amount yet it's the same story. I don't even want to get out of bed and go through the degrading feeling of being forced to almost beg for help from these almighty pharmacists only to be lied to or patronized and still turned away. Fortunately I have an amazing son that makes life worth living even if in excruciating pain. It does kill me though when I have to tell him that daddy is in too much pain to play but thankfully he understands or at least pretends to to make me feel emotionally. I would love to find a group of people to stage protests at the pharmacies that treat chronic pain sufferers the worst. I promise you that if any of the pharmacist's loved ones suffered from chronic pain they would break their back to get them their medication no matter if they carried it or not or only had enough for their regular patients. How do you become a regular if no one will help you out in the first place?

THANKS TO ADDICTS, OXYCODONE IS VERY HARD TO FIND, THE PRICES ARE OUTRAGEOUS & LEGITIMATE PATIENTS ARE VIEWED AS SUSPICIOUS NO MATTER HOW WELL WE DRESS OR HOW CALM WE ACT. (THE STORES WON'T EVEN HOLD THE SCRIPT UNTIL THE SUPPLY COMES IN). HERE ARE PRICES: WALMART: $70 (WITH DISCOUNT CARD); TARGET, WINN DIXIE AND WALGREENS: $175; PUBLIX: $240. DOES MEDICAID/MEDICARE PAY THESE? NOW, I'M TOLD THEY WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT A DISCOUNT CARD FOR THE UNINSURED. I WANT TO SHARE THIS INFO WITH MY DOCTOR, THE MEDIA AND THE "AUTHORITIES" TO LET THEM KNOW WE SUFFER JUST TRYING TO GET RELIEF!
