ok, so i go on generic oxycontin today because of my insurance plan.

i usually get 160 80 mg'ers of name brand every two weeks, which i loved, did me well and very rarely did i have to go to dealers to get heroin to cope with the last days of perscription.

well today, i go in, pick up the script, just breifly glancing at the pills before i go on my merry way for my morphine shot and chemo dance.

well i get home and this is what i find:

http://www.buy-adderall.com/buy-codeine.jpg

codeine! fuckin' codeine in bottle that reads roxicodone.

so i call up the pharmacists again, explain their mistake, and then they shame me! me for christ sakes! giving me that usual speech about how addictive oxycontin are and how i shouldnt be taking them in the large amonts i do.

like im the one that fucked up the perscription.

then they ask why i know what codeine looks like, and make it out like im some big shady drug user (which i am i guess)... never even thinking that a simple ape like me could look up pills on the internet.

eventually they appologize, and tell me my script will be ready in a hour, so i go and pick it up, this time emptying the pills on the counter to make sure their roxicodone 80's or atleast oxycodone 80's... same thing pretty much... only to find no, their 40's.

i politely tell them that no, i need 80's to get my through the two weeks, and the 40's simply aint going to cut it and my doctor agrees...

and then here comes the kicker: their out of 80's.

completely out of 80s, have to wait 4 days for them to get them.

I think their playing games on me.

anyway, i really should have never switched to medicare, and stuck with coventry for prescriptions, this whole experience has made me bitter beyond belief.

thank you all for listening.

script cost 155 without insurance, 8 dollars with my previous coventry insurance, completely free with medicare(title 19) since i make under 10 grand a year now and am on disability.

right about now im thinking of just switching back to coventry and forgetting medicare, while the prices do look lower, you also have to go by what THEY want you take.

like if your drug of choice is mirtazapine, a anti-depressant that works on dopamine, you'd have to settle for the generic version of prozac that works with serotonin alone just because it's in the same class of drugs.

it gets really frustrating, it's basically your insurance re-writting your script amd second guessing your doctor.

oh, yeah, and that stereotype thing your brought up about nailed it.

i dont have long hair, but i get shot up with morphine after chemo because for one, i demand it and they understand, and two it just makes the trip home alot better, so i got needle marks all over, even in my hand, so that kinda of looks suspicious...

still, it really pisses you off when the pharmacist REQUOIRES you for the 30th time in his office "telling how to take the medication" however in reality is shaming you for your addiction.

Why did it matter that they only had 40's? 320 40's is no different then 160 80's. And yea, that's total bullshit. The whole medical establishment is bullshit, refusing people the deugs that they need whenever it conflicts with their bullshit morals.

it may seem weird mang, but i just perfer 80's.

i can eye-ball the chew better, however i know your correct, the 40's probably would have done just as good.

all that binding agent stuff doesnt really bother me anymore, i guess i was just being a little bitch about it... i was rather pissed off.

all well, i managed to score some tar, and that will hold me off intill monday.

As far as I can tell, and remember, you don't even get more powder from 2 40's then you do 1 80. I don't know, maybe the canadian generic 40's are a little different, even though the 80's are exactly the same.

ive managed to break 15s up into nice size powder.

it really has nothing to do about the amount of the powder than the potency of the powder... but either way, i was probably a little bitch and should have taken the 40's... however they where only letting me get 160 40's mang, not 320, i'd rather have my script of 160 80s than a 160 40's.

however i probably should have just taken the 40's and made due a week, but i'm stubbern like that.

id like all my my medication please.

Why not just go to another pharmacy to get it filled?

been having problems like this with my psych-scripts as of late. either the pharmacy doesn't have the amount needed for the entire month, or wants to tell me that my medicare won't cover the entire, split-up prescription, and that i'll have to cover the other 25 pills when the time comes in the month.

they've tried saying that nobody needs a dose like that, that i'm taking them too fast, that medicare won't cover it, that they don't stock that amount due to robbery factors, and the guilt thing....man...

...i get so much shit trying to fill my psych meds.....i think they may be watching my doc as opposed to me, but giving me guilt about picking up what i've been [rescribed is just bullshit.

when the scripts come from the oncologist they don't guilt trip me nearly as badly...yet.


fuck them. fuck walgreens. fuck that pakistani guilt-trip and fuck insurance.

no, i'm not bitter at all. you must be reading too much into my tone.

I find it annoying when pharmacists want to play doctor. Just count the pills buddy, it isn't my fault you didn't get into medical school.

woods, i appreciate your concern, and honest help towards my problem.

however, it's been fixed, i bought tar and am happy, and admit im a dusche and was just being bitchy.

in reality, i probably could have gotten more 40's if i bitched long and hard enough, and i really probably should have.

however if you want a honest answer to your question: i was tired, i dealed with their shit all day, and i really didnt want to have to harass my doctor into calling it into another pharmacy.

like ellis said, the doctors are becoming quite paranoid now, especially here in iowa, if you check erowid there is a page explaining how every oxycodone user now has to go through a checking process and sign into a database how much they got.

much like what many states are doing to psedophedrine, however a little less bitchy because you dont need to bother with the little flaps.

anyway, the point of all that is it makes the doctor very paranoid to have to deal with having all of his scripts for the same user sent to places apon places.

while im sure my doctor will cover my back, i really dont want to be that much of a burden on him, scence he is the one writting the script.

i'd much rather just deal with the chinese woman and get me some crappy cut tar.
