Oxycodone Shortage In Florida 2012 (Page 2)

Updated

Can a pharmacist just be quite and fill the script the doctor ordered for his patient.They lie to us and then fill freds script for the same thing and smile while they do it.We are tax paying citizens in pain and the DEA has made a real mess of everything. Real patients cant even get their meds.

dave@ theres no easy solution. and to keep to ourselves the meds is something that 90% of us or more do. we dont get rid of our meds and sell them and the days of getting these meds unwarranted is over. these kids now are getting them from the black market, and organized crime. IE, when last year the entire shipment was hijacked from jupiter, fl from the distribution center, some 200,000 oxycodone pills were stolen. these were an organized crime hit, not people like us in pain selling a pill here and there. these guys get the meds and steal and sell em. the law needs to catch em but who knows they are in on it too prolly. especially the dea. crooked cops around. i wouldnt doubt if they help contribute to the problem and dont help the problem like they act like they do on tv.

@maxc79.....Can you mail order if you have no insurance? I was looking online at Walmart and it doesn't say you need insurance. I'm stressing because I'm sick of looking but tried affordable other pain meds and they do not work like oxycodone, They put me to sleep and I have a high profile job...just want to be able to order without insurance.

you can do what i did for awhile get oxycontin. FYI- there patent runs out april1st and generics will be available. according to canada where the new generic oxies are already out the time release on the new oxycontin is not on the generics. so back to the old oxycontin...rub off and instant relief...just cant be stupid and give to people so they dont wind up dead...so many people fcked it up for us in pain. that why im sticking with oxycontin..roxies too hard to get and no insurance even wants to carry them, and the oxycontin is the same thing once these bs pellet time release are gone on the upcoming generics. cant wait. my pharmacist told me about the good news the other day!

@goodtimes40...Are you saying you can't mail order without insurance?That is good news coming in April! I guess I will switch my oxycodone prescription back to methadone for this month. I am already on another er med because last time I checked the oxycontin was very expensive without insurance.

@goodtimes40...never mind the question about insurance...I just saw your post in another thread:-)
I don't have insurance so mail order will not work for me.

I moved to Florida and can't find a pain Dr that will perceive oxycodone and methadone. My illnesses are fibrous,autoimmune liver disease,arthritis, raynauds syndrome and hepatitis c. I suffer from excruciating pain before pain meds. Does anyone know of a Dr that can help? I have been taking meds for 14 yes also I am a 60 year old woman. Thanks in advance. Lorial

@tom: you are being ageist. You say "young kids" up to age 35 dont need strong pain meds. That's a complete generalization and totally untrue. There are millions of "kids" in that age range that have bone pain from cancer, have been mangled in horrible car accidents, and conditions like lupus that affect more than just the elderly. I'm 30 and was hit by a car 3 years ago, which brought in very painful knee degeneration. I don't take strong painkillers but i certainly could use them much of the time. I'm also a medical student who sees many, many kids come into the ER with debilitating diseases and having been in accidents causing horrific injuries and they need the strongest pain meds available more than most of the elderly patients they are prescribed to. Don't blame everyone under 35 with painful conditions- blame the junkies who simply want to get high, so they go from doctor to doctor with concocted stories of fictitious pain! Don't group us all together- that's just as bad as pharmacists that assume everyone walking up with an oxycodone prescription is a drug abuser.

When I was taking oxycodone 30 mg and CVS and Walgreens would tell me they were out or there was a shortage happening, I would ask them to take my script and keep it on file and fill it when they obtained the drug again. Both pharmacies refused to take my script and keep it on file..but had no problem taking any other scipt of mine and keeping it on file. So..not all pharmacists will take your script and keep it on file for you. I had never had this happen up until about a year ago.

for one I am not talking about kids with Cancer or other Bad things-I am relating to kids who are not in no pain an just want to get High instead mof going out an getting a Job cause they say there back is messed up-they haven't worked to mess there back up-I have had 2 major back surgeries an plates in my neck,I never took a pain pill until my back blew out at 50yrs old,Kids today go out an work a half a day an say my back hurts after they pulled a muscle they never used in there life,an instead of working it out an making it stronger they run to the Doctor,One thing is for sure if kids say they are in pain just to get pills an get high after there addicted to them an don't have any that;s when they will have the real pain an wish they wouldn't have got on oxys or other related pills,cause it is really bad when your not taking them after you start-my point is that kids who have nothing wrong with them shouldn't be going to get them to get a buzz,kids with Cancer or other problems I am not talking about lets clear that up right now

Working isn't the only thing that "messes your back up". Ever hear of a car accident or a fall??

Also, "kids" aren't the bulk of the Abusers, so I don't know why you keep using that word. The average abuser is in their 30s. You are judging people based on their ages. Period.

how long does it take oxycodone to be metabolized by the body after taking 10 mgs one time.

Cj, it lasts much longer than what most people believe. The average is between 7 and 14 days, not 2-3 like it is commonly believed. Ive seen it appear in a screening three weeks after the person took it last.

SO YOU SAY KIDS are not the bulk users-you have kids cause I Do have 2 boys that started on pills at 19 an 20 an all there friends as well was on pills an now Heiron so I do know what I am talking about LadyI am no child talking,an it seems like none of people like you get my point at all,If someone has cancer or has been in a magor car wreck that they had to be airlifted from an did major damage to them then yes they would need pain meds-my point is this,how many 18yr olds to 30yrs old people who have never worked an have never been in a car wreck do you think needs has many pain meds as these pill mills give out,if you have a primary Doctor an he thinks you cannot cope with what he is giving you to take an he has xrays done to show your problem an then he can send you to a real pain management clinic that Does shots an pain meds not like pill mills that just gives you 240 of one pill an 60 of 2 others plus valium on top of them-hell taking that many if you weren't an addict before you started all of them ,you would be in 6months,the only person alive that needs to take that many of them types of pills are people with cancer period,I Run a Business an Have Had probably 50 people working for me that age from 19 to 25 an everyone of them took pills just for the High,I blew my back out at 50 an couldn't stand straight or want to move out of my bed an was on them so I know all about pain an pills an I see alot of people who has no reason for taking them-I had a cop friend stop by an told me about 2 what I call kids 21 an 22 that had a 2yr old an they were called to the house to find oxycodone on the babys lips an bay lifted him to all childrens an tested the parents who both had a bottle of 240 oxycodones an both tested negitive which told them they get them an sale them,so you say 30 is bulk an your off 10yrs cause the people that may be 30 now started at 20 or before

Flatom you think because your TWO kids used, that changes the FACT that the bulk of users are in their 30s?? Seriously?? Your logic is completely ridiculous. Look it up. Your kids aren't everyone.

Also Flatom, the bulk did NOT start in their 20s. Where are you getting this stuff? Your own opinion? I'm in medicine, treating addicts. Im not just someone with two kids that used. I see the real situation every day.
