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?

Don't some Vicks formulations contain pseudoephedrine?

i don't know, but then it seems like it's either all available through the pharmacy, or it's on the shelves. not all these different combinations of rules, that's weird and i don't see the point.

i'm sure all these stupid rules TOTALLY STOP ALL THE ADDICTS. GOOD JOB AMURICA.
