I've completed the pre-reqs and did pretty well on the pcat, but I'm havin a ton of trouble trying to get a pharm tech job... They always want experience but I can't get it without starting somewhere... And the cycle continues... Help!

Don't limit yourself to paid jobs only. Try looking for volunteer opportunities. That's how I got the job experience most pharm tech jobs required.

Persistence! Apply everywhere you possibly can and check in with them on a weekly basis.

Like photographfreak said, you should look for some volunteering opportunities in a pharmacy setting. This will not only give you pharmacy experience that schools value but will also benefit you when applying for a technician job.
