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.

Did they provide any other details?

I live.in tampa and was just called by my pharmacy yesterday bc my monthly.dr appt is next week. The pharmacist informed me.of the same thing. Their distributor is out or met their allotment.for oxys for the year. She is trying to find different distributor but being told by all that nothing will be available even to pharmacies until after the first of the year. It is very dangerous to just stop taking this medicine you would thonk they would have some solution as many people.that take this medicine. If anyone knows any place in rampa.to fill let me know. Mr.dr.is very well known and.respected legit dr hopefully he will havce a solution when I go nect week.

So what happened? I went to my doctor on the 16th and for 3 days I went to about 50 different pharmacies. (no exageration) never found them but I keep hearing that so and so got them filled in tampa and this person got them filled in Plant City. But I can't imagine where cause I have been to just about everywhere. This Christmas has been horrible. I had to buy enough off the street to make it through. And I am in so much pain. luckily i also get methadone. so I am not withdrawing just hurting real bad. I really feel for those people that are in true pain and only not only are in pain but also withdrawing. Hopefully at the first of the year this will be over with.

My Dr Fills me the same medicine every month. My Pain Dr is in Tampa use to live over there and never changed Dr's because that can be a problem in and of itself. I'm disabled, I live in Flagler county now they are telling me it's a state law that you have to have your prescriptions filled in the county they got prescribed

Methadone kills more people than oxycodone and morphine combined. Also, the addiction to methadone and the withdrawal are 10 times worse than coming off of oxycontin or oxycodone. Do yourself a favor, and flush your methadone down the toilet! I have two friends that will literally take your life to take your methadone. It is FAR worse than any oxy out there. People that think they are being cured by methadone are only fooling themselves and falling further and further into addiction. Additionally, methadone is a long acting schedule 2 opiate pain killer not something to take you off of opiates.

I believe if one person dies it's to many, yes one person with a real illness dies from withdrawls the DEA which some how been given the power to stop me who has a bone disease and 2 operations and a 3rd on the way and has taken my rights,I havent given them away ,they have taken my rights, I dont go to a pill mill,or a loser doctor who doesnt know what he's doing, but the DEA IN THE LONG RUN WILL LET CANCER PATIENTS DIE IN PAIN. Will let other pain stricken people, withdrawl, Why ? Lets think. Everybody knows the government is getting paid for letting Ilegal drugs enter country. Boy that must have hurt when Doctors started taking there junkies with pill mills.So short term lets kill off the really sick people, get the junkies back to buying who knows what, in England they give people Herion ,Pharmcical grade ,by a Doctor .Crime went down, work went up,drug over doses almost gone.So why is the DEA stopping real Doctors from writing scripts {real Dr's key word,speaclist,internalist,incolxgist} well write them but there not going to get filled corrupt GOVERNMENT. there losing to much money. May the Lord give them what they are dealing out Pain.

I just wanted to say I totally gree with your statements. The government has found a way to control all the chronic pain patients and make their lives useless. As soon as I found out how hard it is to get oxy codone I stopped getting the prescription. I switch to morphine which makes me sleepy all the time and adds to my narcolepsy problem, and also gives me very little pain relief three pinched nerves and spinal stenosis I now spend most of my time in bed at age 57. I decide to get a script for Oxycodone again and try to fill it in Lake County Florida. So far I just went to CVS and they said I will not be able to find it anywhe.re. I went home in tears. Here I have a script in my hands that will give me the ability to walk and some quality of life and I can't even get it filled. Chronic pain patients who take their meds exactly as told, do not sell them, do not give them away, do not abuse them, are being punished for no reason ....all because of stinking drug addicts who abuse the drugs for fun and the greed in America. I dont know if I will start my search Monday to fill my RX or not. I will have to spend lots of money in gas and use my very old car that could break down any day now. This whole situation has made me realize that there are a lot of evil people in the government and in the DEA more evil and sociopathic than I ever imagined. Take care

Kaywood, I agree with most of this but don't blame the "stinking drug addicts", it is a supply and demand market. Those pill mills, legal and illegal were cashing in on the flow of patients just as much as the "drug addicts" were cashing in on doctors who did not check the patients conditions to see if they really need those meds. I have been taking pain meds for nearly 35 years, from Florida to now in Tennessee. Those greedy pill mill doctors would hand them out and get people addicted so they would come back every month or people would start up a small business to get the drugs and take them back up north and make $10,000 every month...I don't like people who abuse pain meds either but it's not their fault, it's the lazy, greedy doctors.

I wrote about my problem Jan. 8 2014 and after 2 days of driving all over Long Island I found a pharmacy I had been to several years ago that carried them. I was so relieved and by that time in so much pain I was crying when I walked into this mom & pop-believe this? The pharmacist remembered me from 2009! I don't know if I would have been able to have it filled but I still had cast on leg and limping. My other pain problem was chronic back so when I smashed all the bones in my left leg perhaps he believed I truly have pain problems. As I said in my previous query I still don't know any other places in all of Long Island, N.Y. and if I receive same scrip from my M.D. I have no idea if this pharmacy will fill again. I have been told by many pharmacies they can order x per month-one CVS said they had been trying their usual manufacturer and had not received an order or reply in 3 mon. Well if you have advertisements that claim "we care" how about trying different manufacturers. I was so pissy and in such agony I walked around with a notebook and asked every pharmacy why they could not fill my prescription and various other technical questions and while they seemed curious why I was writing all their answers down-forcing myself to smile sweetly and thank them for all their help not one asked why I was writing this all down. I was prepared to state that my law firm was initiating a legal suit on behalf of persons with severe pain who were either unable to receive necessary medication or whom had been falsely told the medication was unavailable. While that ruse didn't get my prescription filled it does sound like something everyone suffering in our country should get together and find a legal firm willing to take on the i****s depriving us. Perhaps an attorney with chronic pain? I can't afford the gas either-the pills cost enough and I am on disability trying to pay my regular bills and now hospital/Dr. bills Meantime I'm trying to think ahead and the person who wrote about a petition and website-thanks-I'll be signing that one. I am doing nothing wrong so if NSA is reading our e-mails-well-have a party! (And I hope you never have to walk in our shoes.) Thanks

Yay Andy.............You are so right on in my opinion. There really should be a way that all of us who truly and rightly need pain medication to live somewhat of a normal life can get some kind of action going to get somebody's attention. Personally, I wouldn't even know where to begin but I would support, work for and follow up with anyone who was able to get some type of web sight or whatever so that real sufferers could be heard. This is America "land of the free" "freedom of speech". Keep up with your posts if you are able to come up with an idea. At this point, for some, any little thing could not hurt..........Thanks again for a great write up.

Hi-this is Andy. What a nightmare this has become-my Dr. is getting paranoid about all this and I'm in agony (no, that is not an exaggeration) and my son-in-law needed help with my 2 little grandchildren and I was afraid to go to Fl. to help becaause even if my Dr. would have written prescriptions so I could fill them in Fl. I was pretty sure I couldn't. If anyone knows whether this is new law; new policy or whateverr-I do know one thing-elected(not appointed) politicians are desperate for votes. If we could think of ONE politician involved in this or the head of the DEA and all of us called or wrote the official -something might change-it would have to be one politico because several letters to each state's reps. or Senators won't help-we need to find one elected official and barrage with complaints. Anyone know who/what exactly is responsible? Let me know-I'll get it started. Thanks

This is Andy-It all started with the DEA-they began raiding drug manufacturers and Cardinal in Lakeland, Fl.-claim they found discrepancies and shut them down for 2 years. Then decided to branch out-went after several Walgreens and CVS' and checked their record keeping;etc. Can't write much more now. So there is paranoia throughout the industry-congress and the White House officials are doing nothing-thinking this is "all good" We that are truly in pain are considered "collateral damage". This is only going to get worse-so if you manage to fill your prescription-please don't breathe a sigh of relief because you might not next month or the month after. I will find out more and try to get everybody who votes to voice their legitimate concerns to particular politicians. I'll write again when I have more time to find who best to contact with so many "concerns" they won't have time to do any other legislating-(touch of sarcasm).

kaywood I have been told by a pharmacy. That no they do t have it and don't think anybody who Will..well I kept trying in pain on the bus. I went on a Fri. To 5 pharmacies'. None had them or I was turned away Walgreens. Reserves the right To turn away any pain prescription. Crazy ha?? I went on a Tuesday. And they had my meds. Don't give up public is very nice and will tell you when they get their orders also keep in mind that 24 hour Walgreens and CVs are allotted to give a certain amount of C2 s but they are alotted a little more because. It is 24 hours. You also want to fill the scrip in the same county in which you live . Good luck do not give up

For. Me and my body methadone. Is the strongest med.i have ever taken. They also make your tolerance very hi. It's a very effective pain reliever. I don't take it anymore but I wanted to tell you my experience with methadone

Here's one for the books. Since I can't get my scripts filled anywhere except for mail order which is a horror and they won't fill as prescribed so you have to have the doctor rewrite it to conform to their guidelines and wait weeks to receive them. That's not why I'm writing this and I hope I don't get in trouble for it. A friend of a friend has oxycodone 30mg. This person gets it from a drugstore which told me they don't have them. This person doesn't need them and is making a fortune. This is what the DEA has done to those of us who have a true medical need for Oxycodone. It hasn't stopped the criminals from getting them, they have made it better for them. FYI, I get mine filled from Optumrx. Good luck.

I too have to use oxy. I've had 2 back surgeries and it they tell me there nothing left they can do for me. I live in Kanas and so far I can still get my need but it's not fair that people who really need them are being punished because other people misuse them

Dear BGHT-Exactly my mess. When I smashed all the bones in my leg I brought my scrips with me, the actual bottles with the meds, because I knew (being in the field) that they wouldn't believe my tolerance and give me something like hydrocodone 500 po every 6 hours. However even after explaining my history and how I ended up on such high doses and they seemed sympathetic-I was supposed to have stat surgery but believe I was bumped for 2 cardiacs and was only given baby doses of morphine (which hadn't worked for me years ago before I developed tolerance) and the hospital let me scream all night. I kept apologizing to the staff who swore they were calling whoever was on call but he would order the same baby dose of morphine. What a nightmare. I'm petrified if another surgery will help me that it will be even worse. My hardware broke somehow and everything re-fractured so my pain meds were upped and now what would put your average person 6 feet under barely touches my pain. I, too am 63-was really pretty and confident but Lord this has worn me down-I don't socialize-don't date-forced myself out to a relative's house over the holidays and walked out crying. Quality of life? I've forgotten what it feels like. I obviously haven't been managing well so I simply cannot imagine my life with this cutdown. Then I read some stories and the CDC of all agencies has sent "guidelines" to Dr.'s re: what should and shouldn't be prescribed for what problem and for how long!! Unimagineable-do you think they understand the word individual? Differing pain tolerances? I could go on and on. Please excuse the excess verbiage but I live alone and there are very very few people that I happen to know who really understand. Again, thanks for listening.. Hope God takes good care of the foolish gov't. and agencies that have pushed this agenda. And they're wondering why illicit drug use is so much more prevalent. Probably people like us who won't be helped any longer. Love to all. Anonymous.

Anonymous,
It's already happened to me. My tolerance is so high that when I've been in the hospital they always have to call the chief of anesthesiology to OK more drugs. Now My doctor has reduced my meds by almost 2/3! And, she's talking about cutting me back even more. I can't get anything done anymore. At my present dosage I can just sit around the house while laundry and dishes pile up and the house needs work. I used to be able to do it all and exercise too. Not anymore.
My social life is non-existent and I feel at age 63 my life is pretty much over. I've been looking into leaving the country. Pray that things change soon. Good luck to you all.

I know how wrong this is of me to do but right now I'm sitting here crying-I went to my Dr. who mentioned twice before he might have to cut down my medication "so he doesn't get in trouble". Sure enough my last app't. I had slept an hour and woke up screaming from a nightmare yelling God-I can't take it; please just let me die-got it together and sure enough he cut me down-worried about the DEA-I was hoping to have another surgery but found out the supplement plan I bought has a legal no prior conditions treated for first 6 mon. So I'm borrowing $200 xtra a mon. for no reason for 6 mon.! Then my M.D. pulled this-I was in such a state of agitation I took quite a lot-just felt that wonderful hopeless hopeless feeling. Now (this is really going to sound like B.S. but the pharmacy put the wrong date on my bottle so now I am (because of that nite and the pharm have wrong date on bottle-I can't prove a thing-I'll really look drug seeking which I am right now. Threw all the paperwork in garbage (which I cut up anyway from habit). So with the tolerance of ten elephants and being cut-taking extra and the pharm I'm 20 oxycodone short. This never happened before. Once a relative stole my meds. You find out fast who your friends are in this type of situation-my (now ex-girlfriend's boyfriend scammed a company out of $350,000 for "tripping" and claiming a prior injury (there were no records) shows on his MRI-he makes a fortune. Plus I take oxycodone and she told me he was takin 5mg. Now it's suddenly 10. I'm used to 30 qid but often saved for most painful time and didn't exceed max but did take at one time to get some relief. I don't know what to do-feel like an ass and had to vent to pain people who hopefully know how horrible I feel. Thanks for listening.

It is available. Pharmacies lie to us. All pain patients have been swept up with the trash of drug abusers. " Abandon all hope ye who enter here" .
My best advice is to find a pharmacy that is located in a medical center. I have had some success with a Walgreens in a med center. GOOD LUCK! It's a nightmare out there.

This is so true - I have spent days not being able to walk because somebody decided there is no such thing as pain - we are all just abusing drugs - whoever that I**** is I hope he gets into the same mess that has left thousands of people in pain now and for what purpose? I am 75 years old - do I worry about addiction? Not really - I also would rather have some quality of Life than the Quantity that I really do not care about anymore - my last few years on this Earth should be without pain so I could enjoy the few things that are left to me - but the Government decides now what is good for me - so I have no hopes of ever winning this battle.

You did the right thing. I went on vacation with my family in Florida only a couple of weeks ago. I have a legitimate script from a renowned medical institution in NC. Went to 8 different pharmacies, absolutely NO ONE would fill it. Even with calling my Dr., which they didn't try. Had to make my family leave vacation 4 days early!!! I felt so bad for my family which had planned the trip for months before. Needless to say, we won't be going back to Florida to vacation, EVER!!!
