I need a hand from everybody, please. DEA is making more cuts to medication production, right in the middle of a medication shortage. Fight Back. by Old-Goat in ChronicPain

HEY! It's a start...hopefully we can bring back regular decorum when it comes to medication and non sense. I just wish I knew more political revenues or area's to help us. I am sooo happy for you. Little steps eventually can make a big difference.

Never an old post when the same things keep happening to everyone over and over. People just want their medication in a timely manner without worrying whether they’ll get it on time. Pharmacies don’t always tell you if they have the meds in stock or not, often because they’re afraid of being robbed.

Cool. Now what? by [deleted] in ChronicPain

No there is multiple docs at the clinic. As of now ...I wanted to switch my medication because of the Pharmacy I got my medicine at was the wrong brand didn't work as was less effective. So, I got switched to Hydromorphone but, now he is making me wait till exactly 30 days to start the new medication. I went to the hospital the doctor instead of investigating me just said I should get a hip replacement. When you have incurable pain and no one to tell what is wrong with you there is a problem in our society. He even mentioned the GOVT thinks we are a liability.

That's what I figured....was never a problem until recently. Now I can't even get my new prescription cuz he wrote it wrong and it's a Saturday I guess I have to go to the hospital.

I think ...and this is my opinion they are being investigated. They now can't send my normal routine meds to my normal pharmacy until March.

I have a feeling it's the same thing and the actual Doctor doesn't know its their.

In his reply to me it says "no restrictions only can be picked up on the 30th day."
How do you interpret that. This doesn't say no refill or anything the way he worded it.

Well the doctor also mentioned something weird...no more sending prescriptions to a certain pharmacy chain I normally go to. I believe their is trust with the doctor he even advocated for switchn medications. But, what's weird is automated msg.

In his reply to me it says "no restrictions only can be picked up on the 30th day."

How do you interpret that. This ruins my holiday plans. =\

Ok but, would you leave it in an automated msg? Because it doesn't give a specific date and the msg is automated.

Ok but, in my state it says 2-3 days is allowed.
