Walgreen Pharmacy

I have read quite a few post here about walgreens and the shortages. There is no shortage. It is a lie. Yes, they are only aloud to order 4 bottles of 100 count per week. Here's something you may not know. Walgreens has a black list. If for some reason, you look like a addict or say something to piss off the pharmacist, you will make that list. Then, you can forget ever getting it filled at any walgreens pharmacy. They don't want the hassle nor want to deal with the DEA. I have seen someone make that list before. The pharmacist pulled out a card and wrote something down, later he entered it in the computer. Now, on a good note, I stayed with my same walgreen and same pharmacist and have never had a problem. I read these forums and got all worked up and expected a problem today. ...

I've been dealing with the head pharmacist at Walgreens in Santa Clarita for about 5 or 6 years now. I've been very happy and he is a professional person. I went for my January rx and found out they quit selling my Watson brand and gave me some other junk. So I called HQ about this problem and complained. So after all this Walgreens restocked Watson Brand again. So that was settled and I was happy. After a day or so the head pharmacist named {edited for privacy} was let go of after working 23 years. I am so stunned. This person gave Walgreens 100 percent and worked his but off. I and lot of other people are pissed off at this pharmacy, Santa Clarita store. After 23 yrs of service you think this ungrateful store would stand behind their workers. Those FAT CATS who sit behind thei...

My girlfriend is having this exact issue. We went to a walgreens in Altamonte Springs Florida, across from Florida Hospital Altamonte. She has a spinal simulator for pain management, and it has broken, and is now malfunctioning and sending electrical shocks straight into her spinal cord. To have this implant put in it required drilling holes in her vertebre...this is NOT a small procedure. This of course is causing great amounts of pain. We went to the pharmacist with a prescription given by her doctor, and we have no problem waiting for it to be verified. The Pharmacist we find out later blacklisted her, and now she cannot get ANY meds from Walgreens, even cold medications. So not only can she not get her pain meds, she cannot go to any Aalgreens for any medications whatsoever. We foun...

I am a senior citizen who is on Fentanyl patch (very low dose) and Norco. I have been on the same amounts and dose for four years and I go to a 24 hour Walgreens because I am on a night owl schedule (worked ER x 40 yrs on nights) and my son works days and we share a vehicle. I have been a Walgreens pharmacy customer at least 10 yrs. I have NEVER asked for early fill of my prescriptions, never ANY issues with scripts. Last night I went at 1AM and found a note printed and taped to the desk that said, "If you have any prescriptions for Class II narcotics, you must return to get them filled at 0800." I waited to talk to the RPh but he ignored me, so I left. I drove to another 24 hour Walgreens and promptly got the 2 prescriptions filled. WHAT the HECK is going on at Walgreens??? I c...

We need to boycott CVS and Walgreens, I am not spending a nickle there anymore. Ot was Walgreens own fault they got fined. My Pain Management met with CVS DIr of Pharmacy...she had more credentials than any Pain Management Doctor in the area and CVS refuses to honor her scripts. They have a "lock" on the Pharmacy Market in the area. The smaller ones cannot get the quantities to make up for these two large Pharmacy s policies. ## Did you ever find a pharmacy to fill. I am running into the same issue and you can't just take it anywhere to be filled.

unable to fill script ## Did you try any other pharmacies? There are limits on how much they can order and have in stock per month, so it may be that Walgreens is just out at the moment and won't be able to restock until the beginning of next month. The only other idea I can give you is to contact your doctor and see if there is an alternative medication you can use. How long have you been on Exalgo? Learn more Exalgo details here. ## find a local neighborhood pharmacy-they want the business and will make sure you get it in 24 hours or less unlike the others that want to order and take 4 days or will decide you should not have it. CVS and Walgreens both do that. When exalgo first came out it was ordered for me at the pharmacy and when I went to pick it up the pharmacist would not fi...

Just reading what others had to say. Yes, we have a problem as a whole nation with our medications. I don't just have a problem getting narcotic pain relievers, I also have a problem with my heart med brand and my husband with his diabetes meds. The pharmacies have been changing manufacturers whenever it seems to be an advantage to them. They treat me like a criminal whenever I complain about my oxycodone manufacturer, cause it must be cause I want to feel high, though that doesn't apply to my ER pain medication, so why am I still treated like a big "druggie" when I fill that script? The pharmacy using DEA as an excuse is exactly that, an excuse. I have had two major pharmacies, Safeway and Walgreen, and one independent tell me straight out that the whole issue is profit...

Every month I try to fill my norco 10 mg pain meds and every month the pharmacist tells me the same thing sorry we are not getting our order until next week! Well what do you do with the pain until then? I live in Waldorf mad and never had this problem in Fl ## THIS IS HAPPENING ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, especially if you are dealing with Walgreens. they have a secret filling policy and if they have told you no or denied to fill your script for whatever b.s. reason they tell . Those that are fortunate (in disguise fortunate . they will cause you problems i.e. calling your dr ) you can be lucky and they fill for you but their secret filling policy guides the pharmacy to stop filling controlled substances after 6 months. If you happen to change dr's they can deny you. my primary refer...

Educate yourself... articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-10-11/news/os-walgreens-dea-oxycodone-20121011_1_walgreens-pharmacy-distribution-center-dea {link is dead} All pharmacies in Florida have been put on notice by a memo from the DEA that the DEA rules concerning the amount of 30mg Oxycodone that can be dispensed under the old out-dated rule (600 per month) will be enforced, rest easy this case was filed in DC & E VA. Walgreen Co. v. Holder, 12-1397, the outcome will set a new legal precedent for the DEA to follow. The DEA is playing with Florida over Oxycodone the way they are with medical pot in CA. ## Personally, I just find it very sad that so many people are suffering, because they can't get their needed medications. However, the problem isn't just isolate to Walgreens ...

What pharmacy here will fill a norco script? this is ridiculous i ve been using walgreens for years for vicodin now they treat me like crap and say go to another pharmacy their out of stock wtf..? what am i supposd to do? its bad enough this is gonna cost me almost $100 as it is now im gonna have to drive hours away??? ## Is Walgreens the only pharmacy in your general vicinity? You can try calling various pharmacies within your area to see who can fill your script, but odds are slim that you will get a "yes" answer over the phone as opposed to being there in person. They aren't going to tell a stranger over the phone whether or not they have narcotics in stock. Listed below is a pharmacy-locator site, that uses your zip code to find nearby pharmacies within a given mile rang...

Walgreens and Cvs in Tampa FL are not carrying oxycodone or dilaudid. Most pharmacys will fill for cash. I am disgusted. ## Walgreens pharmacy manager just told me that they will only fill opiate perscriptions from pain management dr's for a maximum of 6 months. ## I really can't blame you for being so frustrated with this whole situation going on in Florida. The number of patients in the entire state who are going through this, only appears to be rising rather quickly. Is this the case too, with 'Mail Order' services through Walgreens or CVS? I wouldn't be surprised if many pain patients left the state of Florida just to make life a little easier. ## I went to Walgreen's as well as a host of others and they said the manufacturer is backordered on thm. My scrip i...

I am hearing that Walgreens is putting a 24-48 hour hold on my ADHD Medication, Adderall. Are the rumors of an Adderall shortage true? If I could afford Vyvanse I would prefer to be prescribed them, but I can't. I have been getting the generic Adderall for over two years now and I was prescribed them 20 years ago in High School. I am curious to know if it is true and why? If my date on my script is the day of fill, why would I have to wait an extra one or two days without them? ## Hello, Ryan! How are you? Have you actually been told this by someone in the Walgreen's pharmacy or is it just a rumor you've heard? I haven't heard anything about this and see no reason for them to do so, unless they have to order the medication in, or contact the doctor to ensure that it'...

I picked up my last perscription from Walgreens for percocet n noticed right away the pills didn't look the same. I took them w/o pain releif looked up the pill number 104/44, fraud! I called police,confronted pharmacist giving fake drugs back, I called the DEA and reported this to walgreens dist office..have meds rechecked in front of u with pharmacist, any narcotics ## Wow! That is astounding and I am very sorry this happened to you. For future reference for anyone, all pills that are marked with a 44, followed by 3 additional numbers, are over the counter products. This one in particular just contains 325mgs of Acetaminophen, it is a generic or store brand of over the counter, regular strength Tylenol. Have you gotten any resolution to the matter, such as an apology, replacement ...

Do you sll sercbetahistine im looking onlne it says you do ## Hi Daryl, What exactly are you trying to say regarding "Betahistine"? ["Do you sll sercbetahistine im looking onlne it says you do" / "serc betahistine walgreens"] - That doesn't make sense? Are you asking if Betahistine is available at Walgreens? If so, you should probably try giving their pharmacy department a call, as inventories or compounding services may vary based on locations. Please post back if you have any other details to add...

Price for a 30 day supply of Metanx. Taking two per day at Walgreen's ## Hello, Jim! How are you? I'm sorry, but I don't have a price to quote you, there is no database that proves such information, it can also vary according to your location. Have you tried checking with the pharmacy? Does anyone else know the prices on this? ## I've been taking Pentazocine/Naloxone for about 4 mths now and the whole time my hands and feet have been blistering and peeling I talked to the doctor about it and he said it's just stress I went to a specialist and they said it was exama. They gave me a cream for it but I just keep blistering and peeling mainly on my palms of my hands I read some of the side effects and it said it may cause blistering of skin.

For quite some time now, I have counted my Pills from Walgreens and the Count Was Short a few times already. Now I'm short on Neurontin Pills I didn't Count; And I'm Short Of My Pills For A Few Days!!!! Which means I have to do without my Medication for a Few Days and To SUFFER because they MISCOUNTED MY PILLS NO TELLING HOW MANY TIMES!!!! I've thought other Prescriptions were SHORT COUNTED in the Past...BUT NOW I HAVE TO DO WITHOUT SOME OF MY MEDICINE FOR SEVERAL DAYS!!! WHAT CAN I DO TO PROTECT MYSELF FROM WALGREENS PHARMACY?!!!! ## @Rhett2100, I'm very sorry to hear about your situation with Walgreens. Miscounted pills are something you don't typically hear about too often, but to do it on multiple occasions like that is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion as ...

I need to find a pharmacy in San Diego that will fill 30 milligram oxycodone ## Almost every pharmacy will fill it. Also depends on which dr wrote the rx, but I've filled at almost every pharmacy in San Diego with many many people who had rxs for 180-360 30mg oxy every month. Cvs is the worst, Walgreens sucks...I'd say right now haggan/Sav on js the best. ## My Dr. here in San Diego just retired and I need to find a new one. I have had the same prescriptions for years but I'm having trouble finding a Dr. who will prescribe me my 30mg oxycodone.

I'm in South Florida. We have a lot of Mom & Pop Shops, but Mostly Walgreens/CVS/Target/Walmart Pharmacies... Looking to fill my Oxycodone/APAP 5/325mg, but tired of the 512's, and the Watson's.. Have tried the Endo 602 before, worked very well, and would like to know what Pharmacies dispense this manufacturers generic of the Oxy/APAP 325mg ## I'm sorry, but there is no database listing which pharmacy carries a medication from any given manufacturer. Such a thing would be dynamic and very hard to keep updated, if someone tried to create it. Most pharmacies carry whatever one was being offered for the cheapest price when they needed to restock their supply. It's how they keep prices as low as possible for uninsured customers. You could try asking your regular phar...

I too, went to get my monthly refil of oxycodone at Walgreens. None available. My pain pills are the only thing that allows me to lead a normal life; one without terrible, crippling pain. Do not know what I will do. Taking a large amount of over the counter pain meds is very bad and make me sick to my stomach. ## Hello, Sydney! How are you doing? Did you try any other pharmacies? This late in the year, there are often problems getting controlled substances filled, for two reasons........... One: Each pharmacy is restricted on how much they can keep in stock each month, it is based on their size and amount of customers. Once they run out each month, they cannot order more, until the following month. This is a DEA directive. And second: The DEA also restricts the manufacturers, they are e...
