Oxy Prescription

My question is this, I was having a very difficult time filling my legitimate 30mg oxycodone qty(120) prescription, I had an old prescription from my old pm dr. that was for 10mg oxycodone qty (98). I showed it to the pharmacist he told me it was no problem to fill, and that the only issue would be that insurance would not cover both. After looking everywhere I decided to go ahead and fill the 10"s and pay cash. A week later the 30's were finally in stock so I was actually told over the phone, got to pharmacy and low and behold they only had 5 left, there were 2 other medications to fill on the same prescription, Norco's and Soma's, they said they could fill those and I would have to wait on the oxy's. I believe they do have they oxy's and are lying to me, I hone...

Why is it so hard to get my prescription filled?? ## Unfortunately, since Oxycodone is such a potent narcotic, its rates of abuse and diversion have only continued to grow over the years and this has resulted in many pharmacies deciding not to carry it, because of the risk of being robbed. One thing you want to make sure you do, when looking to get this type of prescription filled, is to make sure you actually go into the pharmacies, with the prescription in hand, so they can see that you are a legitimate customer. If you are just calling around to ask, they have no way of knowing if you are a real customer or a possible thief, so most pharmacies will not give you a correct answer, they will just automatically say they don't carry it. If you continue to have trouble finding a pharma...

Got my oxycodone in i have delivery. Its new has 30 on front with line on back has r then line then a . p ## Hello, Gary! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 30mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Yesterday my doctor wrote me a prescription for "Oxycontin 20mg tablets" When I got to shoppers I was told they no longer make that medication. I was looking to get the generic oxycontins that I know are now available in Ontario. My doctor does not know much about this medication, and I am curious if she needs to write the prescription out differently. (I am thinking the generic name for oxycontin is oxycodone) Does anyone know for sure? As I have an appointment at the end of January and would be able to get the generic oxycontins that help relieve my chronic pain. I just need to be able to tell my doctor what the generic name is. Thank you in advance for all your help. ## Hi Mac, Oxycodone and Oxycontin are actually a little bit different. Oxycodone is an immediate release vers...

Is this a prescription pain drug.? ## The correct spelling is OxyContin. ## My cousin was prescribed this drug for a minor back problem and got addicted. He tried to stop tons of times. He died last summer of mixing the drug they gave him to help him quit with this drug. I warn anyone out there, please do not take this drug no matter how much pain you are in! ## Actually, when used properly under a doctor's supervision this is a very good drug to handle chronic pain conditions. It helps many people who have exhausted other treatment options. I am very sorry to hear about your cousins death, a true tragedy and one of many that have happened due to misuse of this drug. Oxycontin should NEVER be prescribed for someone who only needs short term pain relief for a minor problem. It should...

the pharmicst think there god i have been getting them filled for three years now all of a sudden they dont want to fill them same dr same meds im so sick of this ## @big ed, I definitely understand your frustration with these pharmacies. From what others have stated, I get the sense that the DEA is the one controlling how much they hand out and how often they are even able to hand it out. There's really no other logical explanation for pharmacists to freak out about filling patients prescriptions other than the notion that their inventory is probably being strictly monitored by the DEA. What I have yet to figure out is why doctors are even permitted to write so many scripts for it, when only a small percentage of patients are allowed the luxury of getting them filled? Who knows how...

i was told by my pharm that they are takeing anything oxycontin off market stopping all together also heard end of year supplys ran out jan willbe back on market is any of this true ## No, I am not aware of Oxycodone being completely removed from the market, nor can I find any information on it when I do a search, or check the FDA site. We have had other users that have had problems finding it, but I also cannot find any listings on the FDA site about their being a shortage.

I have multiple back injuries starting from being a gymnast when I was younger, being in a abusive relationship, and then taking a really bad fall in a local supermarket. I've had xrays, mri's, physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, inj's. The last resort was back surgery and I replied, "absolutely not" I'm sorry but nobody is cutting my back open. I've heard to many stories where there surgeries either did nothing or made the pain worse. I currently have been on 30 mg oxycodone #180 and oxymorphone aka opana 20 mg #60. I've noticed over the past 1.5 years its been getting more difficult to get my meds filled because I recently had to change my pain Dr because he now is a Dr in the hospital and no longer has his pain management practice. So my new Dr s...

I have a Kentucky Licenses and went to a pain clinic in GA, they prescribed me Oxycodone 15mg and Hydrocodone 10mg. I have been to several pharmacies in Kentucky and cannot get them filled.

Please Help at all if possible, thanks! ## Hi Tommy, If you can't get your prescriptions filled locally, have you considered opting for an online pharmacy that can ship you your meds?

I went through withdrawls, got some suboxone and then was unable to work to make a living laid around all day, my doctor finally called a small pharmacy that was cash, but it was only $300 instead of $1,200. I think if you get all your prescriptions and families prescriptions with walgreens, after a while they will refill small amounts for 75 to 90 oxy's or percoset, work your way in slow and it will be mailorder and may have to be insurance,. hydrocodne will be there next target. It is like in 81 they removed qualudes and speed permanently, only in US. Good luck. ## Hi Tom, How's it going?

have gone to every cvs around becayse i dont think i can go to d different pharmacy ## With a legitimate prescription, you can go to any pharmacy to get it filled, it doesn't have to be the same one that you had others filled at. It is perfectly fine to do so, as long as your aren't trying to get several prescriptions filled for the same medication. However, many areas are experiencing a shortage, right now, so you may still have trouble getting it filled. The best advice I can give is to talk to your doctor about an alternative medication that you can try, in the meantime. ## Donna Ratliff, a Florida advocate for people with pain who are having trouble getting their prescriptions filled, is planning a rally at the Florida Capitol in Tallahassee for September 10.

I am an NYC resident and I have a legal script but i am having trouble filling it. Does anyone know of any place that has the medication? ## Unfortunately no, I am very sorry that you're having trouble getting it filled, I hate to see anyone end up miserable, but it isn't like to change until several weeks into the new year. There are almost always shortages of controlled substance medications towards the end of the year, due to mandatory manufacturing limits. Learn more Oxycontin details here. Do you have health insurance? If so, the best suggestion I can make is to see if they have a preferred mail order prescription provider that you can use. They don't usually have as many customers and may still have a supply in stock. ## I live in near Middletown, NY. I have been havin...
