He had a brain tumor now has lung cancer. We were getting them in capsule form because we are old and it is easier to pick them up. When trying to refill the phamacies never stated that there was a recall just that it was difficult for them to get them. This is for the past 2 mos. He gets 300 tbs for one month. Now they say them can fill it for 100 tbs but then you lose the rest of the script if you agree just to get some for yourself. I also take isorsorbide and the pill was much larger than it has been and when I called the pharmacy about a recall they said there was none. Also the same on the hyrocodone 325/10. The pharmacies are not notifying their clients that there is a problem other than it is difficult to get them and pain management who should also be aware is still writing scripts for them. This is very frightening. ARe the pills he has been taking safe. He has not been getting any relief from the tablets and has had to increase his dosage. ARe the tablets less effective? How in the world will the public be informed and what options do they have for pain relief? My husbad has been on the oxycodone now for 3 years (5mg.). He had a brain tumor now has lung cancer.

That's the only reason I'd think you'd say something so stupid. If your giving drugs to your kids let us know where you live so we can send hhs over there.

To comment on "Mack's" ignorant statement I dont wish him to go through pain but he obviously does not have Any understanding of the daily and Nightly struggle of cronic pain Victims. I use the word victim because this is how I feel, and the doctor perscribes what they thing should be good for the month and I am breaking the "law" if I use more then my alloted perscription, wich was so much I thought a year or so ago 8 30 mg oxycodone ir a day plus other meds, everything was going fine until i got into yet another car wreck , at first I thought it made me better I was not feeling as much pain and 2-3 months later i am abusing my perscription because it no longer takes away the pain. I have been a problem patient for quite some time as I did not want to be "hooked" on pain meds, truth be told I could "street" pain "help" for alot less money as I have no insurance ...$500 + a month to see doctor and get meds has ruined my life in more ways than one. They are starting me on a Fentanal patch wich I feel will give me less control and am kinda worried if I will ever be able to break this cycle, this following month I am going to see a back cracker and I am going to try and work out and get into shape and hopefully find some control, dont want to look at my reserve retirement plan. I will Not be titeled a drug addict I use to sell drugs at a younger age so I could mostly (play) my summers and winters away, I was one of the lucky ones and just walked away ... away from Eveything the drugs, people lifestyle, but after all the accidents, sigh and now 1 my fault vehicle accident I am in a position I have tryed to avoid my whole life and the cost of this lifestyle ,,(lifestyle) because there is no just quit my living is day by day countuing meds and remembering days and Nights when I have been out or waiting, shivers... I hope you all find your place and can hold together as i do for myself, not sure of this patch but I was a bad patient because I never wanted to try new medication , the loratabs where fine not medication more like vitamins that took my pain away, now I have been forced into trying most everything they have and am realizing it is up to me to control this, at least I am hoping with my working out and maybe some adjustment I can find a medium that I can live with.

I suffered a broken neck, 3 herniated discs in my neck, 1 in my back, completed torn knee (all but 2 ligaments) and a torn rotator cuff. I now have nerve damage, tendonitis, and chronic pain along with nerve pain. It really sucks to suffer this at no fault of your own at a very young age. I have not been able to pick my youngest daughter up since she was 13 months old. Now she is 8 and I have missed alot. People like Mack just don't understand. They only see the bad in every situation. I can't live like that or I will be fighting depression next. I understand drug addicts I had two parents that were herion addicts and trust me I was scarred when I started taking pain meds but I do this to function throughout the day and go to work to help support my family. I don't do this to get high. People that truly have severe pain don't feel the residual effects of the meds anyway. What does that mean? We don't get high off our meds because the pain is so great. Mack walk one day in my shoes and I guarentee you will change your way of thinking. I have been on Oxycodone 30 mg for 4 years (with no increases in dosage) and now I may not get it. The last time I got it filled I could only get a 2 week supply because they didn't have a 30 day supply (this was after i went to 9 pharmacies to get my meds filled). Now I have to go again. I hope this problem is gone soon but I know its now over because they just had something on the news about it yesterday. I don't want to switch to Oxycotin as that will be too strong but we will see what happens next week. To everyone else that is be affected by this problem. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope nothing else serious happens from this. I too was in a horrible car accident which was no fault of my own in my mid 20’s.

If this were a legitimate problem, the FDA would have stepped in to force the DEA to INCREASE each manufaturers limit. With all of these intractable pain patients-and NO medicine, what do you think will happen? It is bad enough to have my life curtailed by the daily, chronic, unrelenting pain I must endure as I have submitted myself for 2 operations which have failed. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ABOUT THE PRICE-GOUGING that seems to have materialized...OVERNIGHT. When will it end? I have ,for 3 years, been paying LESS THEN $1.00/PER PILL. but lately?-I HAVE BEEN PAYING ALMOST $2.45 PER PILL. (IN WHAT OTHER ARENA WOULD A 245% INCREASE BE TOLERATED?...NONE!~ that's which one. I am not able to work (due to oher maladies I suffer in ADDITION to my chronic daily pain) and cannot afford insurance. To whom do we complain? May I write a letter to Mr. Obama outlining the geniuses working at, not only, the FDA and the DEA, but also those who work at the manufacturers. As I said before-It's bad enough being in the type of pain that is barely controlled by,even, these medications-but calling a spade a spade...it's better than nothing. Please post if any of you have an idea to whom we should direct our never-ending frustration, please let me know.Let us ALL write to express our displeasure about the treatment we are, and have been, recieving due to this contrived "shortage". The Mfr's HAVE the raw material-they HAVE the personnell. SO WHY DON'T I HAVE MY MEDICATION?

I take methadone for restless leg syndrome. It is used as a non labled use. I tried requip,and became sick from it, plus I could not afford it.So just because I take methadone does not lable me a heroin addict. I use it for pain relief,which I have throughout the day. You're like Mack, you are judging before you have all the facts.Read up, you might learn something.

First of all you do not know what you are babbling about.There are people out there who take oxycodone because it is the only way for them to lead a somewhat "normal" life. I am sick of hearing about teenagers dying from overdosing on oxy, or any other drug for that matter. Where is their common sense? and I sure don't want to hear about peer pressure. They have a brain, no one is forcing these dimwits to do what they do. Also where are the parents? Believe it or not Mack, a majority of people take Oxy,or some other potent pain pill because they need it. Don't judge, until you have walked in that person's shoes. This is to Mack.

Just as prohibition criminalized many good law abiding citizens so does our War on Drugs, to what end?We have spent approx 16 billion a year for the last 20 yrs for "The War on Drugs" I was a Steel Worker until we lost our jobs to foreign trade. How about some of that 16 bill to get some health insurance. Last month I paid 142. for my pills this month I paid 620. for same pills, this week I cannot find any (oxycodone 30 mg) Now what? methadone so I can be labled a heroin addict?
