Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain Post A Spinal Surgery
Question: I cannot find the pain reliever endocet 10/325 anywhere here in Las Vegas, I have been on this prescription med for nearly 3 years and it has helped better than any other medication for the pain I am in and have been for manyyears since my last upper spinal surgery, can you help me find a location that will take my prescriptions that I am assigned by my doctor.....,.your help would be appreciated
Brief Answer:
I see you've been waiting
Detailed Answer:
I am not in your state and cannot prescribe/treat/diagnose people I am not actually seeing. I sympathize that you are waiting over an entire day for any answer at all and I might be able to solve your problem.
I don't directly know the answer, but can give some helpful pointers.
FIRST, it might not be the narcotic. There are multiple types of percocet based upon the amount of TYLENOL/ACETAMINOPHEN in it. 500 mg will be hard to impossible to find. 325 is more common. ZERO is also more common but shouldn't be allowed to be. So.... rewriting the prescription for 0 or 325 tylenol if it is 500 would be the first thing to do. (yes, actually this IS a ssilly restriction, but it is a very important reason why people cannot find percocet).
Second, they might be lying to you. Having the physician verify that you are legitimate and legitimate need a new pharmacy will change things. Someone going to multiple pharmacies is a red flag warning the person is doing something illegitimate with it. It is like all Assassins own weapons, but very few weapon owners are assassins.

Brief Answer:
I think I've answered this.
Detailed Answer:
I can list particular pharmacies in your area, but a reasonable yellow pages will do as well. The availability of anything varies on a moment to moment basis, and I wouldn't have store inventory information available.
As mentioned, the first things to try would be similar medications with lower amounts of tylenol.

The next step would involve checking the pharmacies and how they relate to you in particular.
