They suddenly quit making my pain medication

[CountAllVotes]

I'd been on the same thing for many years, one pill a day.

Now it is GONE, that's right GONE!

My health care provider gave me something different.

I've been stuck to the bed and unable to move; eyesight all fucked up.

God damned these people!

I quit taking the new crap a couple of days ago.

Withdrawals await.

Will I die? Difficult to know but if I do, fuck you tRUMP and musKKK !!!!!!!

5. Who do I call?

The do not make it any longer I have been advised.

It is GONE, no longer available.

The crap they gave me will kill me, I have figured that much out after taking it for a few days.

I have some back-up pain meds. but it not anything even close to what the ONE PILL a day medication was, nope!

3. What is the medication? There is a slight chance it could be formulated by a compounding pharmacy IF

the generic components are available and used in other medications.

6. It is a simple enough medication

It is NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

I have contacted numerous places and they all say the same thing, it is NO LONGER AVAILABLE!

8. Okay, but REGULAR pharmacies would all tell you that. They will not refer you to a compounding pharmacy

(given natural competition with national chain pharmacies) and some states do not license them. But for those who do--or who allow you to order from an out-of-state compounding pharmacy, it may be an option. Even if the medication is not available, that does not mean its generic components are not.

If you don't want to tell me, that's okay. I just wanted to offer you a possible solution.

9. They no longer make it I have been advised

Should I just pack it in now and leave the country?

I've been thinking about doing just that!

I'm so disgusted!

Its = wheelchair w/o it btw!

11. I get it. Every drug is created from ingredients (components) that MAY be available and could be

compounded. Just because the end resultant drug is not manufactured anymore that does not mean the ingredients that comprise it are not and that is what compounding pharmacies routinely do--especially for the veterinary market, but in many states for the human market as well.. Does that make more sense? I gather I'm not being clear.

4. Call dr!

Healing vibes on the way to you.

7. I have sent a message to my provider

I have to wait up to three days for a reply IF they are still in business!

It is a rural Federally Funded health clinic!

Seems tRUMP and musKKK are busy cutting out that waste and fraud.

Disabled me = waste and fraud in their shit world!

14. This is terrible. I hope you find a substitute that works.

15. oxycontin

UGH!

[wanderer54]

16. What is the name of the medicine?

I know u say that they say it is no longer available.
But what is the name of the actual medication?

[CountAllVotes]

17. Just got off the phone

I was told that the machine that makes the medication I've been taking is not available to make the capsules now. It may be available again at a later time.

Being the medication is not as strong as oxycontin, there isn't as big of a demand for it. So, they aren't making it at this time.



After I got off the phone I get a call from "Your Pharmacy". It was some guy in India wanting to know how much I pay for my RX's.

I told him I pay nothing. He did not believe me.

I hung-up on him.

Do they have the phone lines to the pharmacy with a tracer on them or something?

Gigantic ...

18. Please re-read the posts by Hlthe2B, above!

Although you can't get the brand name drug that you need at a regular pharmacy, a Compounding Pharmacy may be able to reproduce that drug specifically for you. That's exactly what they do. I know from my own experience. When I needed a drug that I couldn't get at any regular drug store, the Compounding Pharmacy created it for me. It worked great. Please try this option. I hope you do, and that they can help you. - Best wishes - Dave

19. I'm now on Medi-Cal

I rather doubt they would pay for a compounded drug.
