... getting way out of hand. Pharmacies never have generics anymore; does anyone know if the manufacturer 'helps' at all with this ridiculously overpriced albeit irreplaceable drug? When the pain isn't killing me, the cost is. Thanks for all hints, help, etc

Thanks for your response. On one point, you're right: Oxycontin *is* the trade name for oxycodone. Technically, it is the actual 40mg **oxycodone** I'm looking for again, monthly. One of my local pharmacies used to carry it, but now it's gone from every single one in the county. They say they just can't get it. Being a chronic pain patient for a decade now (degenerative stuff - apres-ski accident), I've been through literally the old gamut of pain relievers, increasing in strength over the years. Percocet, however, is another analgesic with an acetaminophen compound in it. It is fairly effective, but just doesn't pack the long-reaching punch which the extended release oxy-s do - the opiate agonists really work best, for me. I sincerely appreciate your suggestion, and thanks, again.

Just wanted to let you know that I have had some troubles lately with getting this med in generic(I have a $3k yr limit on my ins for name brands & w/ this

& others, it doesn't take long to hit, hence found generics & a few good to know details) I don't know what state you are in but I found out that Rite Aid does carry this in generic. (30mg has no generic) So if you have Rite Aids around call them & see if they can order what you use in generic. Also, Walmart uses the same distributor as Rite Aid & they can also get them. Some people working @ the stores to not know that it has recently been released again in generic (there was a patent problem last year) & a lot of stores have just been using old stock from before the problem w/ the generics. Be sure to talk to the pharmacy manager because they are the ones that will know how to go about getting the generics back in stock. I do know that CVS & Walgreens for some reason haven't been able to order generics yet. Different supplier. Hopefully you are near one of these & they will be able to help you. Also, try calling all of their locations & find out what they have on hand (they have generic of different mgs @ different stores). You hopefully will find out which store is able to help you. Then, you can let them know what date each month you need to have your script filled so they can have it in stock for you. I hope this helps you. I spent a lot of time last year looking for generics because I don't have a cap on generics. So, after my name brand coverage ran out last year, I could pay over $500 for the brand or I could track down the generic and pay a $10 copay. Blonde but not dumb!
