Sudafed?

[theodosia.livejournal.com]

This may seem a very small crisis indeed, but for the past couple of weeks I've been unable to get real Sudafed (the behind the counter stuff) at obvious places like CVS and Stop & Shop pharmacies. I keep getting told they're "back-ordered" and the pharmacists seem confounded that it is so.

Sudafed is the only decongestant that works for me WITHOUT putting me to sleep -- I guess I've got a weird personal biochemistry, but at least I have a large assortment of sleep aids should I ever want them. I am the person for whom "do not use while operating heavy machinery" warnings were intended.

Before I start canvassing all the RiteAids, Walgreens, Target Pharmacies and et cetera within reasonable distances, has anybody recently purchased real Pseudepinephrine nearby in the last week or two?
