I don't know what to do
HI. New here but im at my wits end. I am a pain patient who is prescribed oxycontin /oxycodone for my chronic pain going on 15 + years. My pain management doctor is good where he does give me the medication that I need to function. The problem now is when I went to the pharmacy (mom and pop that I have been going to for 10 years) to pick up my prescriptions I was told they don't have the oxycontin extended release in stock and going forward they are no longer able to get either of these medications and they received notification from the DEA that they can no longer get it. I was lucky enough to get the oxycodone but have gone to multiple pharmacies and no one has the oxycontin or oxycodone in stock. I am now 2 weeks past my fill date for the oxycontin and cannot find that or the generic and will be running out of the oxycodone with no hope in sight of any pharmacy having it or if they do have it saving it for their established long term customers. I'm just told that it is on back order. I work 12 hour days and cannot take off work for the pain or the potential withdrawal from the dependency of taking these medications for years. I dont know what to do at this point. Even with the medication the pain is so bad that I can barely make it through the work day and have no life outside of work. I have 2 years before I can retire and I don't know what I will do if I have nothing for the pain. For reference, I am in NJ. Is anyone else going through this where they are unable to get their medication? How are you coping with this? Is there any place that may have a better chance of having these or getting them in stock anytime soon??
