Pharmacy refusing to fill pain pills - PLEASE HELP!

I'm on 30 mg oxycodone 3x per day, and MS Contin 15 mg 2x per day (among many, many other meds - which are not opiates). It has been a nightmare the last week calling Walgreens and my Dr back and forth due to a lack of communication. Walgreens wanted some info (like a treatment plan) from my Dr, and so finally they spoke with each other. The end goal with my Dr. is to try a bunch of opiates, then move onto the Fentanyl patch (which my insurance denied because they wanted a "Pain Ladder" approach [start with less powerful pain meds and move upwards from there]). So, my Dr called Walgreens and I guess she told her the end goal was to get me off of opiates (don't know why she would say this since it's not the truth) Maybe she just said it so they would fill it and not take it seriously. So, I spoke to Walgreens and they told me they can now fill these opiates, but this would be the last month she would fill my pain pills. What the hell!!! I am in severe, severe amounts of pain even on the medication I am on. All I can manage to do most days is writhe around in bed or sleep, constantly thinking about jumping off a bridge. I'm only 30 years old.

Anyways, what the hell can I do about this? Can I just bring my script to another pharmacy (like Publix next time)? I honestly don't know what I will do if I can't get my pain pills - it's the only way I can even bear to be alive. PLEASE, any help would be welcome.

P.S. These are the meds I'm already on, and they only minimally help - so don't say "just try these!".

straydog, since Walgreens did not outright refuse to fill my meds, going to another pharmacy next time would not be considered "pharmacy shopping". I dont think any flags would be up, since they didn't technically say "they would not fill it". They only said "this may be the last month we will fill it". So, maybe I will go to Publix next time. Do you think that would be safe to do?

Oh, crap. You are right! I forgot that when I signed the contract, I wrote down the pharmacy I used. Is it possible to use 2 different pharmacys? (one for the opiates and one for the other meds?). I simply cannot imagine being yanked off of my opiates. I feel it would be a death sentence. And Publix is a chain of grocery stores in Florida. I sometimes forget that they don't have them up North

Ok, I will speak with my Dr. I was recently given some advice from someone on another forum about a genetic test I can take which shows me which medications would be best best suited for my particular body. Have any of you taken this test?

Ok, I will check with my insurance. Even if they don't pay, I feel like this would be worth it if it actually does work. I heard it has to be done with every drug to see if the drug works well with my body. Is this true? Or does it just need to be done once and they can check what meds would be best.

Ok. I'll just speak with my doctor. However, sometimes my doctor tends to do things that makes little sense. For example, my heavy metals came back almost completely fine (a bit in the yellow range for gadolinium, but not even close to dangerous levels). She wanted me to go on a metal detox for it, though my levels were completely normal. I tend not to trust most of my doctors, since I have been incorrectly diagnosed 5 times now by different drs and placed on very, very dangerous medications (hydrocortisone for an incorrectly diagnosed adrenal gland issue, and cancer medication for incorrectly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis). I will speak to her none-the-less.

Most doctors are going by the CDC Recommended Guidelines. That is Morphine 90 mg/Morphine Equivalent 90 mg Daily Dosage. Some pharmacists are refusing to fill prescriptions if they exceed that dosage.

Doctors and pharmacists are also starting to watch when other drugs like many of the ones you are taking are prescribed along with opiates. Some drugs make the affects of opiates stronger. Which means they can have more of a negative affect on your breathing, heart, etc. Many of the overdoses have been a combination of these medications along with high doses of opiates.

You need to be prepared to reduce your pain medications. and possibly some of your other medications in the near future.

I went through the same kind of BS with Walgreens, CVS way back and Winn Dixie pharmacies. I had a script in hand and they flat refused to even look at it. Somehow Publix pharmacy seems to be much more liberal with filling pain medication. If you have the ability I would suggest trying to make Publix pharmacy your pharmacy and fire Walgreens.
