Shortage In Florida
March 3 2013 I can't find Methadone anywhere in Jacksonville FL. I've searched for five days and have called dozens of pharmacies and visited several that would not tell me over phone ## Unfortunately, the ones that did tell you over the phone likely weren't being honest, anyway. It is far too dangerous to tell anyone if they do have it in stock, due to the high risk of theft of narcotics, so they will usually just tell you that they don't have it, or don't carry it. They have no way of knowing if the person on the phone is a legitimate customer with a prescription or not, so they only way to get an actual correct answer is by visiting the pharmacies in person, with the prescription in hand. And there are some crazy problems going on all over the east coast right now...

trying to keep a regular pharmacy these days to fill my scrip for 30mg oxys - I've been going to pain med doc for over 7 years and unfortunately have been using Walgreens in the past who seem to have simply decided not to carry them with the exception of the 15mg's - anyone in Hillsborough county had luck with other pharmacies? who take insurance?? I can meet the rules they have in place: must fill sch II with a non schII scrip, insurance, past history, MRI w/in 2 yrs, doc office takes insurance, on and on (the rules change on a monthly basis as we all know)... thank you ## I am very sorry that you are having trouble getting your prescription filled, however, shortages almost always occur towards the end of the year due to mandatory manufacturing limits and it is going to be dif...

Florida pain pill shortage
For all who live in Florida you are aware of the terrible problem of filling narcotic pain medication prescriptions. I am not connected with this petition but want you to be aware of it and I am providing a link to this petition so hopefully pharmacies will be forced to carry adequate supply of medication for refills. I moved to Florida to retire from Missouri. I am sorry I made this choice as I must go sometime weeks waiting on a pharmacy any of them to have quantity to fill my script. As you know 9 out of 10 times the pharmacies never have any on hand. Then we are forced to drive (not able to call) to pharmacy to other pharmacy to see if they can fill it. The law in Florida is so strict you cannot leave your prescription at the pharmacy to be filled, nor can you be provided by phone i...

It's October 10th 2013 and I get prescribed 10 mg methadone 3 times daily for chronic pain related to 2 herniated disks I've had for 13 years with nerve compression to the point of my right leg being either numb or on fire , and I can't seem to find these anywhere . Except for Walgreens and they flagged me today for lbeing suspicious. I'm 35 years old and am bald, have a long beard, and tattoos. So I know where that came from. If anybody can help me by telling me pharmacies that keep it in stock it will be greatly appreciated. This is my 2nd day without and I'm scared ow wds ## Hello, Micah!

Adderall Shortage 2022 Florida
Hi All, I have been having the hardest time finding a pharmacy in Southwest Florida that carries Adderall and its generic. I am currently taking 15mg 3x a day (45mg). My doctor just put in a script for a 3 month supply, to be filling monthly. Walgreens calls me and says they have a new policy stating that because my doctor is over 50 miles away (Tampa area) they can't fill it and the max dosage is 40mg. I'm BAFFLED. First of all, people take up to 60mg a day of Adderall... and now I am on a goose hunt trying to find a pharmacy that is in stock or will even tell me over the phone. I just tried a WinnDixie and am hoping for the best.... Is anyone else in the Southwest Florida area having similar problems? ## Because of the shortage a lot of pharmacies in New England aren’t f...

Have any of you tried to order from mail order pharmacies. I have Aetna insurance, and they have an rx by mail program. I just didnt want to wast time mailing off a prescription if they were out of the drugs as well. Thanks ## Call and ask them. ## I have Aetna Insurance as well and I tried the mail order.

Oxycodone Shortage In Florida 2012
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. ipetitions.com/petition/Oxycodone-shortage-myth-created-by-the-DEA ## The whole country seems to be in a sort of bind in so far as normal patients being depicted as addicts and many who are unable to get their scripts filled no matter who they are or what they do. I think petitions such as this one do significantly help; but the real question is, are they even going to do something about these complaints even with all the petitions floating around the net?

Percocet Shortage In South Florida
It has been impossible for me to fill a prescription for oxycodone since last November. I have been using the same Walgreens, and the same doctors, for years. Suddenly, they have not received oxycodone orders (or so they say) and don't know when they will get them. What's going on? ## It's fairly common for their to be shortages during the last few months of the year and usually January of the new year. It is due to mandatory manufacturing limits, once the manufacturers have reached their limits, they can't product new product until they receive their new allotment amount sometime after the start of the new year. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Thus, there hasn't been any supply for them to order from and no, they really don't know for sure when they will rece...

Oxycodone 30mg Shortage In Florida
This is a nightmare!! I suffer from multiple auto-immune diseases such as Connective Tissue Disease, R.A, Livedo, Raynauds, & traces of Lupus. All of which cause EXCRUTIATING PAIN!! On top of all of those, my body attacks itself 24/7!! Over the years the doctors have tried a ridiculous amount of different pain medications. I called it the 'medication game', & it was anything but fun!! Either there was minimal to no relief with them, or they made me feel awful! They tried everything from Percocet 10mgs, Endocet, Methadone 45mgs per day, oxycontin, Hydromorphine 4mgs tablets & 8 mg tablets, & all medicatons are/were accompanied by Ibproufen 800 mgs capsules. During one hospital visit they even had me on a conjunction of Dilauded 8mgs PLUS oxycontin 20 mgs, every 3 ...

2010 why is there a shortage of roxycodone in florida and why does this seem to happen the same time everytime it does happen. ## And would this be whenever you are calling around to get a prescription filled? I have posted this several times in the past few days, so here it is once again! If you are calling around to pharmacies to find out which one can fill your narcotic prescription, almost all of them are going to tell you they either do not carry it or do not have any in stock. The simple reason for this is because they have no way of knowing if they have a legitimate customer on the phone that needs a prescription filled or a drug addicted maniac or thief that wants to rob them. To protect themselves, they are not going to tell anyone, over the phone, that they have a narcotic in ...

Oxycontin 15 mg ER Shortage In S Florida
My PM MD just prescribed Oxycontin 15mg 3x to replace the too-many hydro & oxycodone pills I've been taking for severe back/hip pain. Just saw a UM surgeon who says surgery is not an option; its scoliosis and arthritis. Anyway, I've called over 10 pharmacies, including CVS and Wal-Green 24 hr. locations - and NOBODY has any Oxycontin. Having to call all over the place makes you feel like a degenerate junkie - when you mention the drug the phone goes silent. I'm simply trying to find relief and stop killing my liver! Anyone know why there is such a shortage? ## There is a policy in S. Fl where many pharmacies do NOT stock OXY. They will order it for a patient, and while the first fill may suffer a delay of a few days, thereafter they can reorder it in advance of your refi...

2012 Oxycodone 30mg Shortage In Florida
My spouse, who is in severe, chronic pain, has been a customer of Walgreens for many years. We live in Pinellas County, Florida. Everyday this week we have driven from Walgreen's to Walgreen's trying to fill his prescription for Roxicodone 30mg, to no avail. I cannot get any help from his regular pharmacy. I know that it's dangerous for them to tell a total stranger which store has them in stock, but I don't understand since they know him, why they can't call around or give us any assistance. I am at a total loss as to what to do & would appreciate any information that you could provide. It is so hard to see him in so much pain. Thank you. ## I had the same thing happen to me. Went to the same Walgreens for over a year. The pharmcist knows I have metal rods in my...

Hydrocodone shortage in St. Lucie Florida
Anyone know of a Florida pharmacy that is filling written prescriptions for hydrocodone? Have not been able to fill for almost a month. I live in St. Lucie county. What the neck is going on? ## I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. This medication was changed to a schedule 2 drug at the beginning of October, which created a delay shipping it to pharmacies due to necessary labeling changes. On top of that, we are into the time of year when there is almost always a shortage of controlled substances, due to mandatory manufacturing limits. Once a manufacturer reaches their limit for the year, they can not manufacture new product, until the new year. Every year that I can remember, demand has exceeded supply and resulted in shortages. This is a narcotic analgesic, so i...

is there a shorthage of ms contin and diladid in florida ## Jeff you get the problem figured out? I'm having a hard time finding a pharmacy with them as well. Would be great if I could find some help. ## I don't understand why there would be a shortage of MS Contin, and another medication you mentioned, but I'm sorry, I forget. Regarding the MS Contin, I used to take six 30mg tabs of time released Morphine Sulphate, and it was way too much for my little body to take. I finally got down to two 15mg tabs of ms contin, but why doesn't Florida have access to it? Do they think it's a "bad drug?"

Also can ANYONE tell me if they have any issues filling Oxycontin 40mg?
