Prescriptions on the road
My husband has chronic severe pain and has to take Schedule Ii narcotics. We live in Texas, but how do get prescriptions filled while traveling in other states? Surely others have the same dilemma. Or...

AGAIN:
Traveling while using Narcotics such as Oxycontin is NOT DIFFICULT.
PAPER SCRIPT IS NOT REQUIRED IF YOUR DOCTOR E-SCRIBES. E-SCRIBE is the best way to go ( and required of New York State doctors) but MUST BE to a particular pharmacy such as Walgreen's 123 Anystreet, Anywhere, NY (example) you will not be able to fill it at any other Walgreen's so do not expect to walk into a Walgreen's in the same town but a different address and get your RX filled. E-SCRIBE is preferred because the patient cannot bring in a fake script
I have traveled quite a lot with my wife who has spinal cord injury and uses both Oxycodone and Oxycontin.
The 2 pharmacies I have dealt with are Walmart and Walgreen's. We always go into the pharmacy if we can before we call the MD for the E-Scribe and talk to the PHARMACIST not a pharmacy tech. Go in dressed nicely
Explain it to him/her and emphasize you do this every month at their brand store. However this is not always necessary or done by me. I have gone in cold after calling an e-scribe to MD's office. I do not remember ever being refused.
YMMV but I doubt it
