What's so odd is that some people apparently get their orders with no problem and others wait for up to 23 days?! What's up with that? I see that they my credit card was charged on the day I ordered, but the charge is no longer there even though it says "shipped." A new note was posted on my account that says it will be shipped in 24 hours. That was three days ago. Now, if I try to order elsewhere (but who?), will I be in danger of double dipping? Is all this trouble because of the media attention? AAAARRRRGGGGHHH! I'm trying to live up to my signature quote, but it's so hard!

I really think people need to get away from the "overnight" mentality. Overnight doesn't necessairly mean it should get to you the day after you order, it means you will get it the day after it's shipped. I think it's perfectly acceptable for someone to ask for a refund on shipping when an order takes an extrodinarily long time, and I also feel that OP's should not make promises on their websites they can't keep (like, "if you place your order before 2pm, it will be shipped the same day"), but people have to stop thinking that because they paid for ON shipping, it should arrive the next day.

orbit-you are in orbit if you think USPharm is the best OP out there. That's one of the stupidest things I've ever read here.
NWW will write a script for you and let you get your records for the refill. That gives you 25 days to do so. I agree with Brandy, it is insane to order from this place, but people don't care. If they have a 50/50 shot at getting drugs, they will risk it. I had a consult with a "reputable" OP yesterday and had my meds in hand this morning at 9:30 am. I tried ERX when they first opened, got shorted, and never went back to a non-records OP. There are so many good places to choose from, it makes no sense to me why people use these place's (tropicalRx included).Now theyr'e moanin about "90 day's for a refill" with tropical. What do you expect when you use a place that doesn't follow any of the guidelines required of an OP? They don't have to play by the rules because they are breakin the law anyway, who cares if you get a lawyer and go after them? Theses are not legitimate businesses to begin with!

I did reply in regard to USpharm on another thread, but wanted to re-iterate. I use YOD because I have a long term, chronic pain condition and records in detail, but my husband does not have a chronic pain condition, but does go through the flu/cold once or twice a year. He's had this cold for several weeks now, and his cough has kept him up at night for almost 5 days straight (and me too). We are in the process of switching our current PPO back to our previous HMO which was MUCH better because of the $10 copay, even taking into consideration the monthly payment. We have a $500 deductible on each family member before the 80% insurance payment kicks in (where we will pay 20% of the total cost premium), so he's been on antibiotics (he's been prescribed these before and it's cleared up the infection, but he's left still with the hacking cough) and has tried Nyquil and other OTC remedies, but decided to try USPharm's Tussionex since it was the 473 ml. size (several cups worth - I was amazed at the size of the bottle) and only takes 1 tsp. at night before going to bed and hasn't coughed the last 2 nights. This bottle is going to last a long time, and most likely will expire before the the medication is used. He's been able to get sleep and be productive at work and feel better, and I think that was more than worth the fair cost.
He put in his order on Saturday for 2nd day Air and recieved it on Tuesday of this week. The FedEx tracking number never worked, but we did receive it UPS, so this may be their alternate means of shipping.
This was a one time order since this bottle will last forever, but he was very pleased with the service and the fact that a very minimal amount goes a LONG way (1 tsp. equaling 10 mg. hydrocodone).

Holy Tamale! One tsp. equivalent to 10 mgs. of Hydro? Could this be correct? Does it work for pain? You would think so, but then why are we all wasting our time trying to get Norco? Can you give any more info?

Hi,
There is more information pertaining to this medicine @ web page
The information you were interested in states ...
"DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Tussionex is a combination of an antihistamine that blocks allergic reactions and reduces the production of mucus (chlorpheniramine) and a narcotic that relieves pain and cough (hydrocodone). Tussionex is a liquid that slowly releases the chlorpheniramine and hydrocodone after it is ingested.
GENERIC AVAILABLE: no
PRESCRIPTION: yes
PREPARATIONS: Liquid suspension. Each teaspoonful (5 ml) contains chlorpheniramine 8 mg and hydrocodone 10 mg."
HTH!

Also known as Nectar of The Gods
But you gotta be careful with it, since it's in liquid form it's easy to get carried away

Could it be? I'm not sure whether I was dreaming or not, but after leaving a desperate message today, a very nice woman called me back and said my shipment would go out today for Saturday delivery. I won't believe it until it happens, but I am so relieved. I was getting ready to throw myself over a freeway overpass...not really, but that's how bad I felt. Oh, please, let them come through!!!!
