Walgreens Oxycodone Filling Tricks (Page 9)

I have read all the posts and found that the best way i found is on the 29th of aug i talked to the pharmacy manager and explained the dilemma i was facing and she told me just to transfer all my other scripts to her location and then drop off my oxy script and methadone and that they would order them for me if they were out.Bam ten days later i got a call yesterday that they had my script filled and to come pick them up.Hope this helps those having problems getting their meds filled.Good luck and god bless.

I've read a few times that people have gotten methadone and opiates as well prescribed at the same time. I've been on both and if you are taking methadone none of the opiates will work.

I like the people that say they are always in pain even after they take their pain medications they are liars they are just addicts trying to get as many pain medications as they can because after you take you are pain medication you are supposed to feel no pain. I like the way they wear back braces and ride their carts. I call BS on them

I had to go through shoulder replacement 8 weeks ago. I've been getting my pain meds from Walgreens and today I was told that they would fill it this time but no more. I have to get physical therapy and it's really very painful. I can't do pt without meds. The pharmacist told me my Doctor needs to put me on a long acting med. I went through that when I had my hip replacement surgery and they just didn't help. I hurt so much that I couldn't do pt without the immediate release oxycodone. I think that my Dr knows better than she the pharmacist what I need to help control my pain. Walgreens needs to have everyone to take their scripts some where else. I'm sure that they would change this policy. What gives them the power to try and say or think that they are god and try to think that they know what kind of misery we go through every minute of the day and night? I still think my Dr knows what's better for pain control. He went to med school for 10 years, but how about the jerks who made these policies? I'm going through hell because I am in severe pain. It is well known that it is really important for pain management to help recover. I hope everyone who reads this takes their business elsewhere. May God help us all who live in pain and suffer because the government bulls***. I pray for my sisters and brothers out there. GOD BLESS.

I haven't had a problem with Walgreens and I've been going to them for the past few months. I used to get 240 oxy 30s and was going to a moms and pops that know me but now I get 180 20s a month and Walgreens been good...if they give me a problem I'll just have to go back to paying in cash at the mom and pops pharmacy which I was going to for a couple years so they know me there...btw I just turned 26 so idk how much age factors in...when I was like 21 I would get weird looks

Re: DontJudgeWithoutAsking (# 155)

Amen! I feel the same way! I’m almost terrified to get my medicine filled every month. It makes me feel awful when I have to go and get my pain medicine filled because most of he time they look at you like you are a serial killer.
Most of the time I have my husband go and get my script filled. I shouldn’t have to feel this bad about it. I am in continues pain ALL day long and I can’t even imagine not being able to take it. I hope things will change in the future.

Re: CMJ (# 6)

I have been to 4 pharmacies trying to get my oxycodone filled after being a customer for over 10-yrs at my local Walgreens and the new mgr refused to fill it. I also read Walgreens was sued for $80M related to filling opioids. The pharmacist wanted to control when I am under the influence, e.g., (I take one 30mg every AM with Norco thereafter for breakthrough pain for my chronic, permanent pain.) by putting me on a 12-hr time-released morphine drug for breakthrough pain with the oxy, thereby controlling how I take my meds. We all have things to do in life, and when I need to drive somewhere, I can't be under the influence of drugs. What they've done is criminal and wrong, and the chronic pain sufferer is the victim!

I switched over to Sav-On pharmacy in Albertsons. Walgreens drove me insane trying to fill my oxy every month. I've been at Sav-On for almost a year now and I'm yet to have any issues. Also if you're a cash paying customer it's a lot cheaper. They make it way too difficult for those in serious pain. We are not kids, leave us the f*** alone and stop with this overriding doctor bulls***.

Re: Jane (# 167)

Your pharmacist does not just decide what medication to put you on that is up to your doctor. The pharmacist can't just say oh here I want to put you on this MS contin as well as your oxycodone I wish they could do that.
