Hello, Randa 14538 -
I don't have an answer to your question, only suggestions.
Ask your pharmacy, if they haven't already, to call other pharmacies and see if they can get you any refills.
Ask your doctor if they have any samples or any hydrocodone 10/325 they can give you until your pharmacy gets their supply in. Some doctors, usually a pain management doctor or clinic, will have some to give their patients on an emergency basis.
I don't know what state you live in, but would it be possible for you to get your medication from an online pharmacy, although I'm not sure if you can order any opioids from an online pharmacy.
If nothing else, ask your doctor to change your prescription to something that will have the same effect as the hydrocodone 10/325 until your pharmacy gets a steady supply of it back in stock and then see if your doctor will give you a 60 or 90-day supply refill. And, the next time you need a refill call ahead to your pharmacy as soon as you can and get your refill in the works.
Having taken hydrocodone 10/325 for a number of years, I completely understand your need to have your medication. I wish you the best in getting this issue resolved.
