Default Roxicodone Shortage in the Northeast US????

I've heard this from others....just thought it was rumors. That's until I tried to get my script filled and had it handed back to me. I said no problem, just let me know in the next few days and they said they didn't know what or when they would be around.

Anyone else in the Northeast United States heard of this???? Or anywhere in the US.

SOUTH EAST PROBLEM HERE, THANKS TO OUR FRIENDS AT THE DEA.

his is ridiculous. I am permanently disabled without the medication. I can't get out of bed, much less work.
These "controlled shortages" are becoming all to common. Patients have rights. When I can't get medication I can't work which trickles through my family. I lose my job, less food on the table, collect unemployment, fighting with my wife and irritated with everything, and I lose the little bit of joy I have left in my life.
The questions I will ask the DEA will be" What did I do for your agency to cut my medication off"? "Why is my family and I suffering, because you have half minded controls in place?". "What did my grandma of 92 who passed in May of 2008 do to hurt someone while in her death bed for many years".
I will bring this to the attention of Congress. There are thousands of people abusing, selling, stealing. But, do the millions of people in pain should be tortured because of the bad apples?
