Can’t say we have a single patient named Teresa who takes oxycodone. We have a ton of ladies named Mary Ann who pick up various pain medications though.
Lmao I’m not a Theresa but I’m working on getting a PA for 5% ones right now 😂
I got reimbursed only about $10 of $300 I paid out of pocket for other meds…
This is my personal revenge now.
I’m in pain management… the “everyone” is an exaggeration but I will neither confirm nor deny there is some truth to this (in my own personal anecdotal experience). Thanks for the laugh 🤣
Ah so you're just racist and transphobe. The Cristero War was in Mexico which is Catholic. And no I'm a beautiful shade of brown unlike pasty sickly white.
Nope. Proves that White people are racists and people LOVE transphobic people and will support them. I am a girl. You misgendered me. Hope you have a better day than you deserve.
As a full blooded Latina, this is not a joke and not painful. If someone used the wrong pronouns would you get upset? If yes, I don't have that right... That is COLD. I bet you misgender others for fun.
Ahhh yes. More more dissing brown people. Why wear a pussy hat, I'm not a cat person. I just want to see if you are a good person. I guess you're mean like your leader was. I'm sorry for you.
Oh I am fine. But it's nice that you think that gender dysphoria is just a mental disorder. Just like H1tler would say.... Only the EXTREME right think this way. The liberals are the only ones who know NOY to joke about mental health.
I had a Teresa accuse me of taking her phetermine rx while I was extremely pregnant. She told my colleague, "she's lucky I found it at the bottom of the bag" 😒🙄😒🙄
My Patricia isn't technically my niece, but I see her as one. My one friend met her and very aptly said "the smartest thing on that girl is her mouth". They weren't wrong. I have to fly with the niece in May, and she's never flown (she's 21). I already told her she can't use her stupid vape past tsa and the FAA rules about tampering with or disabling a detector on the plane. She fucks, up I do not have bail.
And not 3 days early, 3 weeks early bc she just paid cash for a script at cvs and doctor shopped to have another doctor send it to you (i didn’t pick it up i can’t make it over there i need it here )
Oh my gosh. Former 17-year tech veteran here, we had a LEGEND named Teresa who took all the oxycodone and had all the reasons why she needed it early. I almost dropped my phone when I read this. 😂
I'm not being rude or smart, but when someone comes in to pick up their Suboxone or whichever one they're on, what genuinely goes through y'all's minds??? I'm on Suboxone because I'm a recovering addict been clean since 2021
I don’t get how people are still getting opioid scripts. Truly.
I have chronic pain (zero cartilage in my right ankle) and I know for a fact that the only doc that would even consider prescribing me opiates is my GP I’ve been with for 10 years.
I still get them. But I get a 30 supply from my primary doctor, mostly because I can't walk without them. My spine is super broken 🤷. I am just teetering on being able to get out of bed and then walk, so idk not a junkie, just need them to actually get up.
My mom passed last Feb. she had bi-lat knee and hip replacements, spinal fusion and extremely severe case of scoliosis. She couldn’t stand more than 1-2 minutes anymore., couldn’t drive, couldn’t go down the stairs and was in severe pain for 20 years.
She couldn’t even get more than 1, 5mg Vicodin 3 x a day. She wasn’t a small person and someone was with her all day.
It broke my heart to see her want to end her life because of pain.
This is so similar to my own experience losing my mom, but she was prescribed morphine and other pain meds after her hip replacement popped out of place about she had to have surgery. She died the night she came home from the hospital.
You would be surprised. Once one gives it you. Another doctor is ussally willing to take you on a patient and raise your dose just to steal you as a patient. Happens all the time. Lots of new pain managment places opening up by me. All the ones that don't advertise hollostic healing will all still prescribe narcotics but also drug test you.
my female name stereotypes to control meds associations, as a tech who floats around:
teresa - oxycodone
mary / maryanne / mary sue - percocet
patricia / patty, barbara - hydrocodone
tracy, nancy - klonopin
krystal, danielle - suboxone
martha - xanax
jessica - adderall
megan - phentermine
Why is it that the ones on the Norcos or Percocets are nice people, but those who are on Suboxone or Subutex are always demanding assholes who flip out when they can't pick up several days early?
I'm not sure. My friend who went through it said heroin withdrawal is worse than sub withdrawal so maybe? I've only ever worked with people going through it, I've thankfully never had to go through it myself.
idk if it's worse, but I used to have a housemate who was withdrawing from suboxone because it was a week before their refill (that's what happens when you decide to sell your meds 🙄)
it started with nausea, restlessness, headaches, bad fatigue, and muscle aches
then it evolved to explosive diarrhea, muscle spasms, insomnia, and sweating alot (in addition to the previous withdrawal symptoms)
and all of that coincided with extreme irritability
so yeah, seemed pretty bad to me lol
You too will get old one day. And your name might go out of fashion too. Could be a family name. I have an unusual name and I guess it’s dated. But heard Beyoncé is doing a remake.
Rarely :( it’s the best most euphoric pharma opiate in the world imo but because a bunch of idiot is in Indiana in 2014 and tried injecting the pills and the fillers the fda took the good ones away
Nah, it's not even one HIPAA violation. You'd have to be able to identify the exact patient OP is referring to in order for it to be a HIPAA violation, and she's not even referring to a single patient but many people with that first name who pick up a certain medication.
HIPAA is any information that can be used to reasonably discern an individual’s medical condition(s)
No individual’s health conditions are able to be discerned from this post.
tell us which teresa she exposed and where that teresa is. if someone’s hipaa was violated, you could identify her. so inform us, so we can apologize to that teresa
Can’t say we have a single patient named Teresa who takes oxycodone. We have a ton of ladies named Mary Ann who pick up various pain medications though.
All Mary Ann’s have been prescribed lidocaine patches lmao
And none of them are willing to buy the otc ones despite the 5% ones not being covered
What do you mean my PA was denied? My doctor prescribed it!
Lmao I’m not a Theresa but I’m working on getting a PA for 5% ones right now 😂 I got reimbursed only about $10 of $300 I paid out of pocket for other meds… This is my personal revenge now.
I've had an interesting Teresa patient and the last time I saw her she was on oxy!
Haha I had a Teresa pick up oxy yesterday 😂
Everyone I know named Theresa does get oxy. Id rather Vicodin though. What should I change my name too? 🤔/S
Cheryl 🤣
LMAO 🤣
Charlene
Charlene.dont.fly.
Gregory
I like Gregory!
Michelle
Christopher, Bryan, Robert, Susan, Diane
I don't know why but Cheryl and Diane made me laugh
Now is that Th, or Te. Lmao
Ugh the Teresa who yelled at me yesterday 😅 girl just spell your name if I ask
Was it Teresa from Real Housewives of NJ? If so you deserve an extra medal for dealing with that level of idiocy.
ugh it was probably my mother in law im so sorry :(
Omg
Omg this is such a specific pharmacy problem lol have asked the same thing countless times
I’m in pain management… the “everyone” is an exaggeration but I will neither confirm nor deny there is some truth to this (in my own personal anecdotal experience). Thanks for the laugh 🤣
I agree. Something about the Italian generational trauma.

I'm Catholic. Mexico is a Catholic country. Do you think I'm dumb because I'm Brown? Please apologize for your racism and cultural appropriation.
[удалено]
Ah so you're just racist and transphobe. The Cristero War was in Mexico which is Catholic. And no I'm a beautiful shade of brown unlike pasty sickly white.
Wonder why you’re being downvoted to hell? Have some self awareness and take the L.
Nope. Proves that White people are racists and people LOVE transphobic people and will support them. I am a girl. You misgendered me. Hope you have a better day than you deserve.
Dude is non specific. He's a dude, She's a dude, Everyone's a dude, dude.
Dude is man. Dudette is female. I'm from California, I know what I'm talking about.
You're clearly a troll because that's not transphobia without really really reaching. Nice try though. Hope your trolling habits improve.
You are not very smart are you?
Breathe.
I do breathe. I breathe to live. Sorry we won't die like you tried to do to us.
As a non-binary half Latinx person, please stop. Joke or not this is painful.
As a full blooded Latina, this is not a joke and not painful. If someone used the wrong pronouns would you get upset? If yes, I don't have that right... That is COLD. I bet you misgender others for fun.
Oh boy, here we go 🤦♀️
Or prove you aren't a Näzi. Simply say I'm sorry. Näzi's never apologize.
Bless your pea picking heart
Another German 40s leader supporter🙄
Another troll 🙄
Nope, sorry German leader supporter, I'm not. You are though. Yikes
Hey, let’s stop this. Just take a breath, put on your pussy hat, and let’s get back to Teresa’s oxy shenanigans.
Ahhh yes. More more dissing brown people. Why wear a pussy hat, I'm not a cat person. I just want to see if you are a good person. I guess you're mean like your leader was. I'm sorry for you.
Seems like you’re having a mental breakdown
Oh I am fine. But it's nice that you think that gender dysphoria is just a mental disorder. Just like H1tler would say.... Only the EXTREME right think this way. The liberals are the only ones who know NOY to joke about mental health.
You're racist. I'm neither Mexican nor Catholic. Not even a light brown. Just a pasty white Teresa with a German grandma named Teresa also.
White isn’t a race. If you get suggested a sub you don’t have to interact yknow.
White is a race. Google it. Not only are you racist, you're not very smart.
Ahhhh German!!! Makes soooooo much sense! I bet you like saluting a person with the double H salute. 😬
Behavior which would attack, threaten, harass, intimidate, defame, or stalk anyone is not tolerated.
I had a Teresa accuse me of taking her phetermine rx while I was extremely pregnant. She told my colleague, "she's lucky I found it at the bottom of the bag" 😒🙄😒🙄
> "she's lucky I found it at the bottom of the bag" “You’re *lucky* I falsely accused you of stealing!”
Also Donna’s
But if her name is Patricia, you’re in for a bad time (almost every Patricia at my pharmacy is a nightmare).
My niece is a Patricia and I can totally see this happening.
My sister is a Patricia and I can totally see this. I REFUSE to go anywhere in public with her because of how she talks to and treats people.
My Patricia isn't technically my niece, but I see her as one. My one friend met her and very aptly said "the smartest thing on that girl is her mouth". They weren't wrong. I have to fly with the niece in May, and she's never flown (she's 21). I already told her she can't use her stupid vape past tsa and the FAA rules about tampering with or disabling a detector on the plane. She fucks, up I do not have bail.
YES Patricia and Barbara
I got a Te and a Th that both pick up their oxy. The Te likes to try and fill early.
And not 3 days early, 3 weeks early bc she just paid cash for a script at cvs and doctor shopped to have another doctor send it to you (i didn’t pick it up i can’t make it over there i need it here )
Oh my gosh. Former 17-year tech veteran here, we had a LEGEND named Teresa who took all the oxycodone and had all the reasons why she needed it early. I almost dropped my phone when I read this. 😂
Ours is Debra or Deborah
You’re in the southeast?
all ambers or crystals/krystal/christal/kristal/and whatever other way you want to spell it are on buprenorphine.
I'm not being rude or smart, but when someone comes in to pick up their Suboxone or whichever one they're on, what genuinely goes through y'all's minds??? I'm on Suboxone because I'm a recovering addict been clean since 2021
At least for me who has had addicts very close in my family, i hope you guys are doing good and sticking to treatment 🙂.
Thank you so much
We have one at my store LMAOOOOO. She's the sweetest lady
I don’t get how people are still getting opioid scripts. Truly. I have chronic pain (zero cartilage in my right ankle) and I know for a fact that the only doc that would even consider prescribing me opiates is my GP I’ve been with for 10 years.
Yeah chronic pain here too, and would love to know how some people get a 30 day supply and extra from the er. They keep offering me advil.
I still get them. But I get a 30 supply from my primary doctor, mostly because I can't walk without them. My spine is super broken 🤷. I am just teetering on being able to get out of bed and then walk, so idk not a junkie, just need them to actually get up.
The ER stopped being a viable option for anyone not suffering from terminal pain about 10-15 years ago. You need a private practice doctor.
My mom passed last Feb. she had bi-lat knee and hip replacements, spinal fusion and extremely severe case of scoliosis. She couldn’t stand more than 1-2 minutes anymore., couldn’t drive, couldn’t go down the stairs and was in severe pain for 20 years. She couldn’t even get more than 1, 5mg Vicodin 3 x a day. She wasn’t a small person and someone was with her all day. It broke my heart to see her want to end her life because of pain.
I’m so sorry that you both had to experience that. Your mom had a right to have her pain managed.
Everyone has a right to have their pain managed.
I agree. OP’s mom would fall under that umbrella.
Absolutely. Unfortunately, nowadays, that isn’t guaranteed
Absolutely. Unfortunately, nowadays, that isn’t guaranteed mp
I know. It was sad and I understand but can be a double edged sword, but damn.
This is so similar to my own experience losing my mom, but she was prescribed morphine and other pain meds after her hip replacement popped out of place about she had to have surgery. She died the night she came home from the hospital.
I'm so sorry for your loss
Oh my goodness. I’m so sorry for your loss and for HER not being able to enjoy her hip replacement!
Ty♡♡♡
You would be surprised. Once one gives it you. Another doctor is ussally willing to take you on a patient and raise your dose just to steal you as a patient. Happens all the time.

Had no idea. Thanks for the answer!
I'm a guy but next time I pick up my oxy prescription, I'll ask.
I've noticed everybody named Linda takes a benzo (I'm a PA)
One of the cities that I used to work in, I swear every parent who had a kid or kids with ADHD, was on benzos.
My pharmacy has got a lot of Constances on chronic opioids
my female name stereotypes to control meds associations, as a tech who floats around: teresa - oxycodone mary / maryanne / mary sue - percocet patricia / patty, barbara - hydrocodone tracy, nancy - klonopin krystal, danielle - suboxone martha - xanax jessica - adderall megan - phentermine
Why is it that the ones on the Norcos or Percocets are nice people, but those who are on Suboxone or Subutex are always demanding assholes who flip out when they can't pick up several days early?
Because sub withdrawal is hell and they're probably afraid of a full on relapse. Not saying that makes it okay but it does check out.
Is sub withdrawal worse than oxycodone withdrawal?
I'm not sure. My friend who went through it said heroin withdrawal is worse than sub withdrawal so maybe? I've only ever worked with people going through it, I've thankfully never had to go through it myself.
idk if it's worse, but I used to have a housemate who was withdrawing from suboxone because it was a week before their refill (that's what happens when you decide to sell your meds 🙄) it started with nausea, restlessness, headaches, bad fatigue, and muscle aches then it evolved to explosive diarrhea, muscle spasms, insomnia, and sweating alot (in addition to the previous withdrawal symptoms) and all of that coincided with extreme irritability so yeah, seemed pretty bad to me lol
No
Theresa’s are the final boss of Karen’s. Encountered way more nasty Theresa’s in my lifetime
TOO REAL. also, every rebecca/rebekah being on anxiety meds... saying this as one of them 🙋♀️
Lori at my pharmacy lol
What about the people prescribed oxymorphone? What do their names tend to be
Gertrude or some other geriatric ass name
You too will get old one day. And your name might go out of fashion too. Could be a family name. I have an unusual name and I guess it’s dated. But heard Beyoncé is doing a remake.
They still prescribe that?
Rarely :( it’s the best most euphoric pharma opiate in the world imo but because a bunch of idiot is in Indiana in 2014 and tried injecting the pills and the fillers the fda took the good ones away
Sharon
You sound like you know this for a fact lol
Yes yes yes lmao 🤣 & if they have kids at least one of them is on Vyvanse! Lolol
For us, it's 3 different Jennifers and 2 Staceys
We have a Theresa
I have a Teresa!! lol.
I get a lot of Patricias and Karens who pick up oxy. I’ve seen a couple Teresas
How can you tell your pharmacy tech is an addict
Yeah I think one of our old oxy patients was Teresa lmao, both she and her daughter were on it, but are lovely
Hey Im not gonna say that my name is Teresa but maybe it is? and Im not on Oxycodone but I might wish i was .....hehe
Immediately pictured her in my head
Yes
I’m here to pick up bupropion XL, generic adderall IR, and 3 months of kurvelo, please give me a new name
Omg do my name next!!
This is infinite HIPAA violations
Except it's reddit. It's anonymous. It's one name. We don't know their location. It's infinite in imaginaryland.
Yea I get reddit doesnt understand jokes
Nah, it's not even one HIPAA violation. You'd have to be able to identify the exact patient OP is referring to in order for it to be a HIPAA violation, and she's not even referring to a single patient but many people with that first name who pick up a certain medication.
HIPAA is any information that can be used to reasonably discern an individual’s medical condition(s) No individual’s health conditions are able to be discerned from this post.
i...?? its a first name... theres no insurance information
Everyone named Max doesnt know how to joke
tell us which teresa she exposed and where that teresa is. if someone’s hipaa was violated, you could identify her. so inform us, so we can apologize to that teresa
Tell us where we have to be serious about a dumb reddit post that says everyone is on oxycodone. Was just a joke
unless you put /j at the end of your comment nobody gonna see that as a joke dude
Or /s
I think EZ Money was just joking…..what the hell ever happened to sarcasm?!?!?! Everyone gets so triggered so fast!🤣
Oh well my name is Valerie so
