Tampa Pharmacies

"The government is here to help" Pleeeeeezzzz! You can blame the government in their zeal to protect the common irresponsible drug addict and you the responsible consumer with chronic pain can live with your pain! The society is devolving to the lowest common denominator and we are all to blame for electing people who say they want to help but really want to control us! You will find almost no help, no pharmacy or doctor wants to deal with you because of the major government intrusion. Good luck! ## Bravo!!! Now that is saying it like it is. I have had the same Dr. for nine years. Have felt like I finally found one who cared. Since all the changes now, he is different. I brought up that the M367s that the pharmacy switched to a few months ago are not doing what they are supposed...

i am a legitimate chronic pain patient and my regular pharmacy is out this month. if you know which walgreens in tampa, fl might have them in stock please post here. i can't pay more than walgreens/cvs prices so please don't bother listing mom and pop places that price gouge. i can't spend the day in the car looking cause of pain and can't pay more than regular prices as i am a patient and not a dealer. please help! ## Unfortunately, this seems to be an ongoing problem in Florida, though there has been no official explanation as to why. There is another thread on our site from people that have been looking for them, so you may have better luck using some of the places others have had success with. Here's the link to that thread: Can anyone else offer any suggestions?...

Please help. I am in serious pain. I have been out of my meds for almost 2 weeks. I have a script for Oxy 30mg and no pharmacy has them. I have been everywhere looking for them so if you know where I can go to fill my script, please help me. ## Have you actually gone into the pharmacies, with the prescription in hand to ask if they carry them? If you are just calling around, it is not likely you will get told the truth, since they have no way of knowing if the person on the phone is a legitimate customer or a possible thief. Another thing you may want to look into is asking if they can order it in for you, if they don't usually have it in stock. This is usually easiest at whatever pharmacy you use regularly. The only other option I can think of suggesting would be to talk to your do...

I went to my pain doctor a few days ago and for about four days now I have been going from pharmacy to pharmacy trying to fill my norco 10/325. I live in Tampa fl 33616, 33611 and even if I have to go out of my way a little bit I'm willing to. can someone just give me any idea what pharmacy has them please.

Dear friends. I too am in the same situation. I live in the Tampa area of Florida. It seems that the powers that be are choking off the supply of these drugs. I am now trying to get oxy from Optumrx, a mail order pharmacy. I did receive my meds last month a week late. Now they have changed the rules to a 80% ER and a 20% IR. I understand that they will eventually taper me off to no pills at all! That's not acceptable as I live with chronic pain. I am looking into changing my meds to a more available med. To everyone out there I "FEEL YOUR PAIN". But it's not going to get any better, so try to find a substitute drug. I blame the medical profession for getting me on these addictive drugs. I can take the pain but the withdrawal is worse and dangerous. We are screwed because of

which pharmacies have oxycodone 15mg 11/01/12 in tampa area? i switched from 30 mg to 15mg thinking it would be easier. both my husband and i were in a major head on collision. we have been looking over a week and nothing, nobody has them. we both have ddd. husband is a stroke patient and i have ms also besides all the accident injuries that are pretty severe. now everyone is telling me the end of next week. we cant make it that long! they are making it so you HAVE to go buy it on the streets, which i will NOT do. why do the drug dealers have them but people with real pain and drs cant get them filled? i have insurance too. i dont understand what the problem is? what to do? where to go? there is NO reason for this. ## Have you tried contacting your insurance provider to see if they have...

Where can I get my oxycodone 15mg filled in tampa area. Last month I had the dr switch me from 30mg to 15mg because the 30s were hard to get. So last month I go to Walgreens got the 15mg no problem But now this month I can't get any went to 5 pharmacies nothing. Is this happening to the 15mg too. Please. Help ## It's just an overall shortage, due to the fact that the manufacturing limits for the year have been met. Last month the pharmacy probably still had some of the 15mg tablets in stock, because there weren't as many prescriptions for them, but no doubt there were many other doctors who had the same idea yours did, so the supply was depleted. The best advice we can give is to talk to your doctor about using an alternative medication, in the meantime. Production will retu...

I recently had surgery but have suffered for years with chronic back pain. I have a legitimate prescription and insurance for my Oxycodone 10/325 but can't find a pharmacy to fill it anywhere (I live in Brandon). Can ANYONE help me locate a pharmacy that won't say they are out of stock and on back order? Thank God I'm not addicted so I'm not having with drawls but I am in major pain! PLEASE HELP! Thank you! ## I'm sorry you are having such difficulties, I know it's absolutely miserable to be in pain. However, at this time, they are on back order and most pharmacies don't have any in stock. There is usually a shortage towards the end of the year due to the mandatory manufacturing limits that are put in place by the DEA and FDA. Learn more Oxycodone details her...

i I am and have been trying to find a pharmacy in Tampa Fl to fill Methadone 10mg 6o tablets. Does anyone know of a pharmacy that can fill this? ## Hello, Mimi! How are you? I'm sorry, but there's no listing of pharmacies according to what medication they have in stock that I can refer to for you. Additionally, we are now into the time of year, when shortages of controlled substances almost always occur, due to mandatory manufacturing limits. Once a manufacturer reaches their yearly allotted amount, they can no longer manufacture any new product, until after the new year. I can't remember a year when a shortage hasn't occurred due to demand exceeding the supply. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as ...

I have scripts for oxycodone and need filled in tampa, florida ## Hello, Karl! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. However, the only suggestion I can make is that you try checking with the various pharmacies in your area. You'll need to physically go in, with the prescriptions in hand to find out whether or not they have it in stock. This is 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?

need a pharmacy to fill my script in tampa florida or nearby. my prescription is oxycodone 30's,I get 180 of them.I also have insurance and hear places are only taking cash.My appointment is tomorrow,3/23...please help!! ## I'm sorry, but we have no way of knowing which pharmacies have any given medication in stock, or what insurance plans they accept. In addition, there seems to be a current shortage of Oxycodone, due to manufacturers having hit their yearly production limits, so many places are having trouble getting it in stock. It might be easier to ask your doctor to prescribe any alternative medication, until production returns to normal in January. Are there any other comments or questions? ## I really need a pain dr. and cant find one over going to a suboxin clinic, they...

i really could use any help or info to find my medication generic of oxycodone & Oxycotin. - things have become crazy. im hurting ! &i cant afford the gas (these days) to just drive from pharm to pharm. so please,any info on which pharmacys are currently in stock,id appreciate greatly!!! thank you all,much!! ## Well, there are a couple of options you could try. You can check with a nearby pharmacy about ordering it in for you, most will do that for their regular customers, if they don't have something in stock. And another option would be to ask them to call other pharmacies to ask if they have it in stock, since if you call yourself, you likely won't get an honest answer. Have you tried speaking to your doctor about trying something else? Even something short-term, for ...

We need to know what pharmacies have adequate supplies of oxycodone between Tampa and Punta Gorda that would fill Dr. Turner's perscriptions written in Sarasota. ## I'm not sure you are going to find one, at this time.

i went to 8 pharmacies to get my monthly refills yesterday . I still have none.. whats going on?? I too live in the tampa area. thanks. ## I'm sorry that you're having so much trouble getting your prescription filled. There was a large distributor who was recently shut down, due to questions over the large amounts of controlled substances they moved each month. This has caused many pharmacies in that area to be short on supply, until such a time as new distributor takes over. Learn more Methadone details here. Is there anything else I can help with?
