So, I'm in NY but the shortage is nationwide. My family doctor has had to change our dosage/delivery speed depending on what was available in our area. My daughter's psych meds have started to be affected as well.

I've had to use different pharmacies from time to time. I use a private pharmacy so they are willing and able to help us with around the shortage one way or another. I've considered using Amazon Pharmacy but I haven't tried it yet.

Prescription shortages can be so dangerous. It's scary.

Good luck to you.

From.... A former western PA yinzer. It's been the 4th highest tax state for a while. (Link at the bottom) The roads in Pennsylvania and Michigan are just horrible. I live in Ohio now, but I travel to Pittsburgh once a month to check in on family, but i also travel to Michigan at least 4 times a year, and as soon as my GPS says welcome to PA or MI the roads instantly change.

FYI... I just use my GPS to get a heads up on construction, accidents and speed traps.

It's interesting that the state (and Federal) laws justify taxing gains at their full value as soon as you realize them under the justification that the government helped create the environment under which you were able to earn it. However, when you lose money, that's entirely due to your own bad decision-making and you either deduct nothing or only a partial value.

Thank you…. I may have to go that route as well if my doctor is okay with calling an out of state pharmacy. This has been a nightmare and is starting to effect my everyday activities just like before i was diagnosed and found the right medication.

I'm from Eastern PA, and I had the same problem with armodafinil. It is a manufacturing issue. The drugstores can't get it from their distributors because they can't get it. I had to go into NJ to get mine, no one near me had it either. Good luck! Maybe you'll have to check in nearby NY or Ohio...
