I have seen online sites where you can get a face to face consult for example at star bucks or at a public place with a licensed doctor... It was you pay $200 plus then he writes a script for you, but for only one month. Then you have to see him again the next month and the consult is only $125 a month. The places were located in the south florida area. has anybody heard of this or experienced this before. It seemed very legit I just cant remember the website Thanks for any help you may offer.

Actually it was just a couple of months ago. Thanks for the info!

[Kept]

Wow, that seems too good to be true. Seeing my doctor costs nearly half that! The extra cost would be more than worth all the hoops my doctor makes me jump through! I doubt there is anything that convenient where I live though

Maybe a couple of months ago, but it ain't no mo. Data base got passed in June, Dea confiscated all Oxy at doctor's offices dispensing in July, and new laws have gone into effect making it very difficult for even Florida residents with real issues to get SIIs. Tamps is all but shut down and pharmacies are no longer filing for even Florida resident if outside 75 mile radius in most areas. If out of town doctor, you won't get filled closed to your home unless you have an existing relationship with that pharmacy. When database hits in September, they go back to last December so if doctor shopping even prior to data base up and running, you still gonna get busted.

It is now. Florida is a done deal. Floridians are now even flocking to a neighbor state and the neighbor state is starting to refuse out of state patients because of the load since the shut down of Florida. Candidly, thank God. I am sick of the toothless, jobless white trash drug dealers from other states flocking here to buy drugs. Yeah, you might get an appointment somewhere and they will be glad to take your money, but you ain't going home with no Roxi.

Thanks for your information, I am lucky like you to have already been aware of the pharmacy law changes in Florida, but I certainly appreciate the update and help! Is there a place you would recommend to a Florida man looking for a safe place. Ol Scott has made it hard!

The thing is these doctors meet you and write you a script for only a one month supply and then you have to meet every month so they can get paid. I was hoping that there still might be one out there and I am sure there is as in any field there is a shady person.

Again thanks for your help and interest and if you can help more please do so.

I hope you have a great day!

Nope. If you cannot get schedule meds from a doctor in your home state, you certainly are not going to be able to get them here. Doctors in Florida are simply not going to script out of state patients any longer. Even if they did, you could not get it filled. Sister in law is a pharmacists and even though no law applicable, they can use their discretion and deny and trust me they are.

You may have also missed that there is a law limiting the number of SIIs pharmacies can now get each month and pretty much only the big chains will be dispensing SIIs. The mom and pops are getting screwed as part of the bigger target. The main target is stopping mds or pharmacists from opening brick and mortar pharmacies stocked with only SIIs and dispensing them under the guise of a pain management clinic.

I have a dear friend in West Palm Beach who went to get her script refilled on Friday. Date of last refill was June 28th. Pharmacy refused to fill it again without a new one issued by her Dr. It was a local pharmacy, not a chain. They did call while she was there and she got it, but the pharmacist she has used for years and she knows well, told her that they wanted their records cleaned up now. She gets Vic's for when her shattered elbow from a couple of years ago flares up and then are only as needed. Only 20 count as well. I think for awhile at least that many straight Dr's there and Pharmacies will become over cautious as the past presents scrutiny to many it did not before.

As with my state I truly believe this next year will find changes in the way normal F2F visits go. To many are afraid of losing their licenses and surprise visits. This has created a record keeping nightmare for them and I do understand their frustrations.

With that said I will take an Oxy with my Latte please....

[beenawhile]

If a dr did that how would the pharmacy call to confirm script if they wanted to? The pharmacy just may keep the script when there is no dr office. Yes it is near impossible to do pain management if out of state in FL now. If you do get a drivers licence here (dish network for example will allow you to put any name on the bill that is mailed, no SS# or proof of identification for this, the account holder is still responcible for bill) from there not too hard for a friend (or someone you pay) to use thier address to get license, you may as well pay the $20 and get a state ID while you are at it. Next you say it's lost and get a new one. turn it in in your home state and get your ligit license back. I knwo it sounds involved, but do the math some places $30 for 30mgs, and many clinics 240 30mg oxys. So maybe $5,000/mo after expenses for 2 days a month 'work'. of course you need a friend in FL who knows the lay of the land to tell you where to go to Dr. pharmacy ect, and you will have a really hard time without a MRI less than 2 years old, they just need some leg to stand on, many reffer you to a friendly place to do an MRI. $1,200 (for Dr, Meds, and a cheap MRI. save $500 by not having to pay at pharmacy if you have insurance, dr does not take insurance though)plus transport costs would get you set up (unless your friend wanted some good faith money upfront to do dr license deal) hope this is helpful to someone

Pharmacists can refuse service for almost any reason, i have many medical issues and have been on a ton of different meds in my life (and no not just talking about drugs of abuse) and have been a caregiver to 2 different family members for relatively long periods, so i have had a million dealings with pharmacies, and i have had over the years like 5 or 6 times had a pharmacist refuse to fill for some goofy reason or another, i say goofy because i have never gone to a 2nd pharmacy and had a 2nd problem with the same script, all issues were different, and never heard that reason again even on long recurring meds. it is thier license, and they follow thier gut to protect it, seems crazy, but i don't think they can get in any trouble for not filling unless it is a protected class of people.

I don't want to start a political discussion .. REFUSE to participate in another one on this forum .. but I DO wish government would concentrate on fixing the economy, helping us create a manufacturing base that generates REAL jobs and quit saving us from ourselves. It's not their job.

[dsteury]

this is in reply to Lancers question about F2F at a Starbucks. I have a feeling he was making a funny two very close friends of mine one in Tampa/Clearwater on in Miami both said things are dry as a bone and have been that way for months. the Docs have either lost there license or went back to there home country while the getting was good. There are a few F2F clinics who run there operations out of FLA. but they do not service patients in Fla. You can buy Qxy and such brought down I95 and I10 or along US19 coming from Alabama Mississippi. Georgia, or the Carolina s. But that about as good as it gets. My associates are telling me that the price of blow is up about 25% in bulk over last year. All the big operations have moved to Southern Callie. Just my opinion as a long time Florida resident when it was a smoken hot place to be. But left the Florida scene almost 25 years ago and moved to Calllie then Texas. One other thing unless the Starbucks is letting the Doc take his calls on Starbucks phone from what I'm told you ain't getting a script filled even if you are a senior citizen with problems. I've also from a friend who second hand owns three pharmacy's that the DEA is almost forcing and CII drugs to be delivered to the patients house. All this is my humble opinion I'm in Clearwater at a starucks waiting for the Doctor to drive up now. Must be running late.

[kineticode]

The general MD'S seemed to have been limited to only small scripts of c2's,and if need be,Pain Clinics are the only places writing for C2's for over 10 mg's,which has overwhelmed clinics across the country.Those in need of a big script,are being forced to commit illegal acts in order to get what they need.Conspiracy theory is,creating a market for the massive amounts of H flooding the country.Create the demand,and then provide the supply,which is a basic marketing ploy.

Like the OP said the government should worry about the economy and creating new jobs not saving us from ourselves.

I don't believe it is at all unreasonable for Florida's government regulatory agencies to worry about some "doctor" in Florida scripting narcotics for people they are meeting at Starbucks.
That sounds pretty worrisome to me. You disagree?

[junk1]

i have to agree its a big rigged game they keep the propaganda going so they can get federal funding for this that and the other and then you have all the under the table money that changes hands , thats the reason they kept up a failed war on drugs there getting paid on the top and bottom and the people that really loose out (people in need of medication or even just people who do it for recreational use ) cant get it or if they can get it they have to pay HUGE black market prices. This is not the first time this game has been played if you look at what prohibition really did in the 20s it just made organized crime a lot more money and allowed them to gain a lot more power , no matter how much you try you can not legislate morality

[Vecci4u]

This was truly happening during the hay days of the oxy express.... The dea has declared this the war on drugs just as we have a war on terror and these meetings or quick fix at the doctors are done... I'm sure there is still some but everyone knows the dea has cracked down hard

That reminds me of a quote I saw, recently:

The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant.

--John Stuart Mill

I tend to agree with John Stuart Mill. Rogue doctors DO harm others, though (such as one who operates out of Starbucks ).... IMO.

[Vecci4u]

On a bit of related topic I wonder what Starbucks view is on the whole legalization of marijuana. They come of so uppity (although I love them) but could see them dishing out their hash with your latte.

I'm missing your point connecting the "big rigged game" that somehow gets federal funding and what that has to do with the problem of recreational drug users losing out by having to pay huge black market prices.
Or are you saying that you don't think it's fair that recreational drug users currently have to pay higher street prices because of the results from enhanced enforcement efforts?
I guess I also don't understand who you are saying is getting paid on the "top and bottom" and under the table because of a continuation of the War on Drugs. Can you expand on that conspiracy?
You are obviously very angry about all of this. I'm sure you're correct, at least, that the substance abuse community in Florida is very unhappy about paying higher street prices for their drugs (when they can get them). Nothing new there.
