A lot of people have been having so much trouble with being judged and profiling just for having a prescription of OXY's and other meds. There is a Group on Facebook~ Fight For Florida Pain Care Action Network..started by Donna Ratliff This is a private group you can join everyone there is in the same boat as we are. They also have a list of Mail Order Pharmacies with people's experience with using them..there is a Petition at Change.Org you can sign ## In light of this information, I figure that many users may also want to check out the most frequently active threads on this subject: This thread has close to 300 replies and counting: This thread is active as well with 27 replies: There are many more active threads springing up daily with similar topics in mind that you could he...

I have been on roxicodone for a couple years. I had soo much trouble filling them that I stopped and realized that I couldn't lead a normal life from my pain. Soo I am back in pain management. Filling roxicodone in FL has become impossible. I and my six are trying dilaudid as a replacement, however, I am now having trouble finding them as well. Anyone else suffering the same issue? Stuck in FL!! ## I"m sorry about what you are going through. Unfortunately, this seems to be an ongoing problem all over Florida and while several theories have been postulated, there has been no official word as to why this is happening. Have you had any luck getting your prescription filled, yet? ## Yes, I did fill it. Unfortunately, it is not the same as the Roxi I have to take more and that don...

I have a new prescription for diladad 8 mg. Pharmacies won't fill as I don't have history.. But I have arthritis . continuing pain. ## I was told in Melbourne Florida at the publix stores up there. ....i am having trouble here in Miami. ....i was filling them at a spanish pharmacy but they cut half their people due to overload so i am looking again...my first month having trouble. ...it looks like i will be going to Melbourne Florida ## I just left Florida for this reason. I couldn't get norco ever month and they had me on file getting it AND when they order, which is only during once weekly group orders, it takes close to a week. Basically they'll fill it IF you show patience to wait a week. Florida is the worst state for any narcotic. I was filling norco, oxy and dilau...

who knows what pharmacy has generic dilaudid in stock in spring hill Fl. 34606?! ## In order to find out which pharmacy has this medication in stock, you'd probably have to go in person to each pharmacy that you intend on having it filled at and ask them in person. Reason being is that most pharmacists will be reluctant to tell a complete stranger over the phone if they have one of the most potent narcotic pain relievers in stock. If you are having trouble filling a script, I have heard that others are trying Walgreens Mail Order services with better success. Is there anyone else in Florida who can suggest what has or hasn't worked for you, in so far as filling your prescription? ## I was having a big problem getting my scripts filled for different scheduled drugs over the years...

I filled with CVS for three years and went in to fill my script and the pharmacist told me they have new rules, the doctor has to be within five miles of the pharmacy and you have to live within five miles of the pharmacy and refused to fill them. Then i went to walgreens and was told they didnt feel comfortable filling them at several stores and the others told me that they only had enough to fill there regular customers and were not taking on new people as i was a customer of theirs for at least three years until they were having trouble getting them ## I have been at the same pharmacy for 2 years and now they won't fill my prescription either, Everything is crazy right now, but we have to fight for the right to be pain free, I joined the Fight for Florida Pain Care network, you c...
