Oxycontin- Why Won't The Pharmacist Tell You What Proper Protocol Is When Your Told The Prescription Can't Be Filled Because It Does Not Meet Protocol (Page 2)

Updated

MY INSURANCE PLAN PART D MAILORDER PHARMACY MAILS MY RX BACK WITH A LETTER STATING THEY CAN NOT FILL THE RX FOR OXYCODONE 30 MG BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MEET THE PROPER STANDARD PROTOCOL BUT WHEN YOU CALL THEM BACK AND ASK WHAT IS THE PROTOCOL OR WHAT PROTOCOL WAS NOT MET OR HOW CAN YOU FIND OUT HOW TO MEET THE PROTOCOL? WHAT CORRECTIONS ARE NEEDED? THEY CAN NOT ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS. THEY SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW AND THEY HAVE NO ONE IN THE PLAN THAT CAN GIVE YOU AN ANSWER. HOW CAN THAT BE POSSIBLE? WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON? I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MEDCO MAILORDER AND HEALTHNET ORANGE INSURANCE WHO USES CVS PHARM FOR THEIR MAILORDER.

Opioid pain meds were given out like candy a few years back. I had 2I bone fractures in a car accident, 4 total joint replacements, and a $800,000 medical Bill. The highest I ever took was Duragesic 100mcg. Patches, and 8 mg hydromorphone patches with 10 mg. Valiums for muscle spasms. Then I find out some damned Dr. was writhing scripts in Chattanooga for the same things for people that said they had torn cartilage in their knees. THATS...why the true pain patients are having issues with getting their pain meds. There's a true difference between severe pain, and Opioid dependence. There's Methadone clinics for that...

Opana ER does not make you feel "High", I have never felt high on it. I usually can't take pain Meds because they make me sick! This med was a miracle drug for me, however, I am getting weaned off it now because I'm tired of jumping thru hoops!(I wish I could jump!)

Saying Oxymorphone Hydrochloride doesn't give you euphoric feelings is just plain ridiculous... It's only the 323rd strongest opioid on the market..if not second..it does cause euphoria, maybe your just strange, or not being honest.

No,the FDA never approved oxycodone for "wide spread use"!! What it DID say was that it would be approved for use in patients needing around the clock pain relief.

Hi Vern, from my understanding these are only guidelines being put out by the CDC. No new laws that I have found. Please confirm source.
Thanks

Posters,

As a professional and licensed it is a suggestion BUT if you die or break your contract, the physician is liable for medical malpractice due to the recommendations of the FDA and CDC which are HYPE. The only deaths by OD were to those not prescribed.

Further under ACA Obama is paying your doctors incentives to NOT TREAT YOU.

Uh we need the man called Trump and a return to profit medicine or you will be 10 feet under as Hitler deemed necessary some years ago :)

It is a narcotic and in the state of california they require you to visit the doctor every month and not allowed for mail order unless your doctor contacts insurance co and demands them to mail order for you hope this helps

I have been on Opana ER for 9 years. Opana never gave me a feeling of Euphoria. Maybe it only does when you abuse it. I had no side effects except constipation!!!!

Walgreens will not sell pain meds anymore. I found this out when they changed manufacturers - watson changed to mallinckrodt or someone else. It was making me so deathly ill i informed my doctor and pharmacist my doctor changed my rx to put no substitutions. I took it back to walgreens and they had the nerve to tell me the only way it would make me sick is if i was abusing it. I was mortified and then he told me they were no longer carrying it. Piece of s***. I am 53 years old and have been suffering with all kinds of diseases that make me unable to walk. I filed a complaint and had to find another pharmacy. Then they think your shopping pharmacies, the government is in control and someone needs to start legal action against the pharmaceutical and government, the ones who abuse this are the ones dying not real sufferers or maybe they just cant live with the pain. I take my meds for the last 5 years like i am supposed to with minimal relief but afraid to tell my doctors because i do not want to be lumped in with abusers (even with all the diagnostics) or rejected. They want us to be this way. I had to fire one p.c.p because he did not do his job and another walked out of office because of obama care. I am under pain management and have been for 5 years. It takes me 2 min to pick up my script every month until i finally insisted on them to repeat my mri. Boy they felt stupid. My condition worsened and now i need surgery. It's politics.

Drs. OR PHARMACISTS will not tell you anything they don't feel your entitled to..even as far as information..about yourself, if they even SLIGHTLY feel that THEY want to believe your a "druggie". What they ALL seem to forget ....is even the worst pain management patients develop physical dependence...and do NOT EVER look forward to the pain they'll have to deal with...much less the physical and mental opioid withdrawal symptoms they'll have to experience on TOP of the true physical pain they suffer. It's TRULY...become apparent that even the worst pain patients are having to deal with WAY TO MUCH...bulls***..to experience some relief in any forms. Law Enforcement, as far as opioid prescribing practices...has WAY OVERSTEPPED their needs in moderating these issues. ITS SO easy to tell the true pain patients from the opioid addicts...or maybe, I've been dealing with too much chronic pain., and treating opioid addicts...for to long and to long or to many...but even THIS is something I shouldn't even have to be moderating...due to law enforcement (FEDERAL... SPECIFICALLY...) sticking their big ass nosed in private citizens business...) i suppose what I'M REALLY SAYING....is the group shouldn't be stepped on as a whole....vs. THEIR inabilities to deal with the law breakers...and one thing I would like to extremely highlight...is when I read someone needs "a Dr. To prescribe them 100 mgs. of Methadone a day, ALONG with the 6...30mg-Roxicodones they take with it..TRUE pain patients don't even take that much s*** everyday...And we never take ALL our breakthru pain meds like it was diabetic meds...you take it AS NEEDED ...And 30mg. Oxycodones are made for serious...and I do mean serious...pain issues...

This is not a monthly medication & by the time you get the script, mail it in & get it back from them, a week has past & that's too long for these schedule A drugs! You need a triplicate prescription for these type~Regulations are so strict right now, a mail order pharmacy would have to jump too many hoops to be able to fill Schedule A drugs! Timing is the issue! They can't fill it early & you can't receive it late! They may even be illegal to send through USPS? Pretty sure they are prohibited by the government!

Hey Cheryl, sorry, but you are wrong! They DO NOT have to show a " reduction " in prescribed pain meds. Have you ever heard of intractable pain? This means that it cannot be " fixed " with surgery, it can only be treated, and symptoms managed. .open a book, you may just learn something!

Dont use Cvs. They will no longer fill more than a 7 day supply. Hope they go out of business. Who are they to say how long we need to be on our meds.!!!!

Re: DreamY (# 18) Expand Referenced Message

For a person who was on opiates for 25 years you sure are judgmental..How dare you and the other ***** for making a comment like that. Get your act together..This site has no room for 12 stepping. We don’t judge anyone... We are here to answer questions and to lend an empathic ear. Now if you have nothing but insults just go away.
