Justme1949 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 YIKES!! Not sure what is going on with my posts?? Is there a way to correct it? Thank you, Justme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted April 10, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 10, 2009 The answer to your question is the VA is very sensitive to pain medications and you should ask the primary care Doc to fix it. As far as the tags you are picking up I don't have a clue. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bergie* Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'm not sure if it is a schedule II narcotic but if it is the doctor can't write the prescription with refills. I found this out when I was placed on percocet. I call the call center about 7 days before I will run out and receive a refill in the mail. Hope this helps. ;) Bergie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps. :) Bergie Bergie, I have no idea where you've gotten this information, do you have a link ? I get 10MG Hydrocodone 2 X daily = 60 per month RX written and filled by VA. This is listed as a Schedule 2 narcotic, I currently have four refills left - I re-order it each month via VA phone automated service and it is either sitting in the bag by my front door from UPS or in my mailbox via USPS. I don't even have to sign for it. I've been getting this same RX from VA for pain for about 8-10 years. Justme1949, Welcome to Hadit. I agree with Pete IF this RX was not just for a temporary situation and is required monthly by the patient, I would talk with the PCP or who-ever write's this RX for your husband. On the tags in your post - were you trying to post something you scanned, or photo, or web link ? jmho, carlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
