I would try Kay pharmacy in Tampa.  They usually have lower prices than the chains.  Lately their price has gone up also but not like some I have heard about.  I just called CVS and 150 30mg are $197

Rite Aid.... 150/30mg only 156$

I Here Ya CJ....Everywhere I looked today,30mg's were Out of Stock, and What I finally found were $3.95 a piece...I Feel Bad for Both of Us......And Ya, I have seen the websites you mention. Hey, if Legit prescription & insurance companies like Medco,Walgreens,etc. can Legally send them as mail-order, some of these others may be Good also....Just Check em' out Best you can...RocketG.

CJ- I get 180 of the Oxycodone 30 mg tabs for around $100 at Walgreens by using the PS Card. You can get it at www.pscard.com  (the ps stands for prescription savings) and it made a HUGE difference in how much I pay. I get 3 different meds every month for $175 by using this free card. Go to the website. It is made for people like you and me that don't have insurance and are having to pay for all of our medications out of pocket. It doesn't cost a cent and you can print off a card and use it that day. Take a look then tell all of your friends to go there and use it too! BTW--- CVS is the most expensive pharmacy out of all of them or at least here in Orlando area. Check out the website because you can list all of the meds that you take and they will give you the list of the pharmacies with the best prices and they give you the actual price of the medications that the pharmacies charge. Just take a look & you'll see!   It put money money back in my wallet! Good luck, Deej

DeeJ,

 

In response to your advice on the free prescription drug cards, well they were taking them for awhile (walgreens,etc) but they stopped because the state was not paying the pharmacys the money, the mom & pop pharmacys do not take them at all, they never have. I get 300 30mg oxycodone pills a month and now starting Feb 3rd the state will not allow ANY doctor to write oxycodone in any strengh any more than 180 pills. The prescription drug card ( when they were taking it) I was able to get 100 30mg oxycodone pills for $60.00. Walgreens has already started not filling any oxycodone scripts over 180 pills. I was a boxer, motocross racer and have had several serious injurys that the 30mg oxycodone is the only thing that works, and as for the liquid oxyfast ( thats what they call it) they are saying it is for hospice paitents only because they are dying and cannot swallow pills, it is a shame that people that are in real pain are going to be freaking out next time they go to try to get the oxycodone refilled, this month I had my doctor break my script in half 150 each but they have already warned me that next month when I come in they will only be able to give me 180 pills. As for other pills that work methadone is cheap but it is harder to get off of than herion and it is truly the devil. IMy wife takes the oxycodone for break through pain and the 30mg morphone sulphate extended release for pain but it just does not seem to help her unless she sucks the coating off of the pilll and chews it up and then it only keeps her from getting sick, it does not help with the pain, or barely does anyway, i just moved from Pinellas 2 years ago to Hernando and i was going to a mom 7 pop and remember when the 30 mg oxycodone was 80 cents then went to $1.20 and then started going sky high. Thank god i have a great marketing comapnt but my wife and I are spending over $1,000 a month on doctors visits and pills. We met at a chyropractors office and had so much in common because of the things we were able or unable to do because of our condition and were attracted to one another also so we have been together 10 years now. As for the prescription cards CVS still takes them but they do not have the oxycodone, the next best option is the walgreens drug plan which is $35.00 per year for a family and $25.00 per year for one person.  We are in trouble guys and the govenor and the state attorny general that is behind this just has no clue, because the DEA cannot do its job people that have real injuries have to suffer.

 

Hit me up and I will share info to help the people that need it, i am not going to help junkies get pills when the people that need those pills are in a bad way.

I am a chronic pain patient in Hudson, FL. I have so many medical problems I won't list them. I used to race Motocross for 5 years, was a sponsored skateboarder for 6 years, was hit by a car when I was 7, have been in 5 motorcycle accidents & 3 car accidents. Yes, I know I am accident prone. I have broken many bones including T-11 completely crushed to a triangle shape. I have been trying to get my 30 mg Oxycodone prescription (only 90 pills) filled for 9 days. I have driven over 800 miles in total. I have been to at least 50 pharmacies. At least ten of those I have been to everyday except for the weekend. All have the same problem with back orders or just ran out & don't know when they will get more. I have insurance because I am disabled & can't afford to pay for the prescription. I need them because I am in constant pain & only the Oxycodone relieves the break through pain. I also take 30mg Morphine extended release which is what is keeping me from being bed ridden. They are getting filled for some people, you just have to be at the right place within any 2 hour period from when they receive them until they are gone. I have been told that the new laws require me to fill both of my pain meds at the same pharmacy so I can't even fill my Morphine prescription until I get the Oxycodone filled. I will be completely out within a couple of days. I am getting really worried as I already know how much pain & how sick I will be without them. I have been taking these meds since 1999. I am not an addict but I am certainly physically dependent upon them to get out of bed & to be able to sleep while I am in bed. Any help from any one that can tell me when & where they are available in the Tampa Bay Area would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for a good pain management clinic. I am not a junkie. I am legitimately in serious pain. Can you please help me find a doctor ? Thanks T

Walgreens....If you join thier prescription plan ( Which is only $20.00 a year ) they are approx. $1.04 a pill...that is what I just paid yesterday, July 28 2010....BUT you have to drive around from store to store to see if they have them..I went to 5 locations before I found them...AND THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU OVER THE PHONE IF THHEY HAVE THEM IN STOCK OR IF ANOTHER WALGREENS HAS THEM IN STOCK,,,,Here is what happens...Each Pharmacy is allocated XXX amount of pills per month based on their client load..or expected client load...Perdue ( The Mfg of the medicattion) allocates only a certian amount each month, at the beginning of the month, to the pharmacys...so if your Dr's appt is at the end of the month, your screwed...Because the Pharmacys increwase their price based on supply and demand... and at the end of tAustin12he month...more demand and less medication....so good luck,...The private pharmacies are a rip off...Walgreens is the best...they do not change their price .... and dont change their price if they are the a's or m's...Good Luck and I hope this helps...

I have had similar problems and wish something could be done. I have insurance and have been told by some of the mom and pop pharmacies that since I have insurance they could not fill my script or since I'm a new customer they would not. I think they don't want to except patience with insurance because they can't charge as much and would have to sell for the right price. The insurance companies would know if they are price gouging. I also have been told that I have to have a non narcotic script to go along with the oxycodone script which my doctor says is illegal to require a doctor to perscribe something he might not really need to. These mom and pop pharmacy are doing so many things wrong from picking and choosing who's they will fill and not fill, price gouging, and requiring other scripts. They are taking advantage of those who have legal scripts to help them deal with the pain they suffer. I too wish something could be done and feel they should be reported.

Price gouging in Hollywood Fl.is prevelant here also , Post Haste, Simfa Rose

Not sure about ordering, and would be careful about where it comes from, another country ect...they dont always put what you ordered in the bottle.But search around, and ask your pharmacy if they will match another one if you can find it lower. I went to a mom and pop store till Walgreens bought them out and my oxycodone 30mg was 80 dollars  #120. Walgreens was 250! I went to another small pharmacy I used to use and sure enough they were 70. But I went to Homeland and they matched the priced to my old pharmacy when I brought in my reciept from them. I probably could have just had them write them out and give it to them that way. I only wanted to go to Homeland because it was about 25 miles closer to home. I dont have insurance so saving a buck is important to me.Your friend may have an insurance plan that paid better than yours ....dont know but call around ask for comparrison prices. Walgreens and all the big named places where just killing me. The Soma   #120 and Noco # 180, would have been over $300 together but Im getting them one for 29. and the other for 30

Best of luck to you!

OK. I am only going to make this brief but. The whole reason for the price gouging in FL is supply and demand. 65% or more of the opiate drugs made in america are sent to Florida. The abuse of narcotic pain releivers in this state is very sad and enabled by all the pill mills and doctors handing out the 30 mg roxis like they are candy. The amount of illegal drug dealing of this substance in this state is very high, thus the M and P shops know this. On the street the "blues" go for $10-$20 a pill and again the M and P drug stores feel they want in on the "game". I am in pain all the time with or without the meds I am prescribed. I find it certainly outrageous that because of illegal drug use/sales that I have to pay out the ying yang for my meds now. The small pharmacies claim oh the price went up for us so it goes up for our customers. Well that is a bunch of crap, not true what so ever. My advice to everyone is to fill at the chains like CVS or walgreens. Because so many people are getting prescribed these meds they are very hard to find in stock. I have found from experience that sometimes the walgreens likes to "profile" so to speak who they say they have these meds in stock for. Well thats all fine and good except I don't look like some drug pusher or druggie so I wonder why in the world I get turned down sometimes. Anyways. Win Dixie carries M's for around $1.05- Walgreens carries A's for $0.68 to $0.98 a piece (varies according to walgreens discount card or drug discount cards) I am not sure the price at CVS because they hate filling these meds for anyone as they are better then all of us who are in real pain. the medicine shoppe on east bay drive carries A's, always in stock for $2.50 and will go down with time if you stick with the pharmacy. My advice is to just stick with Walgreens, get a month after month record with them and they will start to always hvae your meds in stock. No more pharmacy hopping.. that gets old real quick. Thanks for listening.

Welcome to PPARxFL, a Web site designed to help low-income, uninsured Florida residents get access to patient assistance programs where they may qualify for free, or nearly free, prescription medicines.

Good day,  I'm sorry I don't have an answer to the original question (2009) of this thread, but I see several stories here that may be able to help me out with a MAJOR problem I'm having.  I'm desperate hoping one of you may be able to help me find a physician in the St. Petersburg area to help me with pain management. I just moved to St. Pete Beach, FL about nine months ago and am trying to find a GOOD doctor who is not afraid to prescribe stronger pain meds for people who have legit medical problems.  I have results from 2 MRI's in the early 2000's showing that I have two herniated discs in my cervical spine.  My condition fortunately let up enough for me to stop taking opioids for a few years in the late 2000's, but I was still very physically dependent on them, so my physician prescribed suboxone in 2008.  Now my condition has been exacerbated in a MAJOR way while doing some physical work and I have been in unbelievable pain for several days now.  My new family physician in St. Pete Beach refuses to write prescriptions for opioids, period.   Thus, I'm wondering if any of you may know of a doctor in the region who is not afraid to prescribe strong pain medications for those of us with legit conditions (and does not demand injections/surgical interventions)??   I'm just taking a shot in the dark here that someone may be able to refer me to a local physician who truly advocates for pain sufferers.  I'm at abacus30@aol.com if you know of anywhere I may be able to obtain help.
