Being a relatively long user of SR/ER more feen I have been getting a hard time and very costly increases over it this year. It's a long ride to my Dr which is in a big city, but today was like none other I've ever seen. After driving 60 miles, getting my Rx, and driving back to a rural area to fill it there was none to be found.
There's two small cities close to me that have 4 pharms. Mine kept me waiting a long time, only to call me back up to the drop off point to say they had none, and wouldn't until after the New Year. I ended up driving almost all the way back to the big city, 40 miles away from where I tried filling it first, before finding a chain store which had both my sizes (100/30) and the liquid. One small pharm, which is what I prefer using, declined me saying they couldn't get enough to fill current customers.
Anyone have any idea what is causing the problem? Since the first of the year my cost has risen from a low of 80 ducks to a high of 280 for 90 X the biggest size. Are they cutting it all down in Afghan, is it the farms, gov't or what?
Every one that was out said it would be the 2nd before they could get more. I did eventually find it, but got told no so many times I was afraid I'd end up in the hospital just to get my meds. I'm just wondering where the choke point suddenly came up in something that has been around for decades. Anyone know something I don't?
Thanks in advance for any information.
