Rx drug shortages spreading all over the world

This is some scary shit guys. Reminds us all of how fragile our system is.
I've been personally affected. For the past 5 months, it's been impossible to get generic adderall in the state of ohio and many other areas. I've had to buy the name brand stuff which costs 600% more, and even that I hear is running low.
Seriously....we are soooo dependant on these medications. What happens if the supply runs completely dry? The authors of the article cite a lack of incentive for producing some of the complex, older drugs. I know there's a bunch of hate for big pharma, but what happens if they stop producing too? They are the only people keeping this system afloat right now.
Idk...fuck obamacare, but we need some kind of health reform.

If they are out of Adderall in VA I'm going to be pissed.
Wait, the Army wouldn't run out of free brand name Adderall. I hope.

Now, if somehow there was a sudden shortage of benzos, specifically Xanax. I would rage. to the pharmacy.

The pharma companies are not magic. Where they fail to provide clandestine chemists will fill that void. The only advantage they have is the ability to obtain precursors.

A lot of people would be switching to Dexedrine.

As long as pain meds don't run dry, I don't care. Even if all of the medications run dry you just gotta deal with it. That's life sometimes.

That's how I feel, but if they do, we always got poppies. And if we can't get poppies I got heroin connects all over the country.

what's the DEA doing? wouldn't surprise me if they were though.
at fist my pharm said they'd have it in 1 month (this was december). then they said by march. now they're saying they have no idea when it will be available again.
it's not just recreational drugs either...most of them are critical IV drugs used in the ER that aren't available.

I didn't know this was outside of the dextro-circle...my pharmacist told me the DEA is restricting precursors and just giving chemists a hard time...
ive been thinking about stock piling my dexedrine for when I have a lot of writing to do cause I feel like the DEA might put a stop to it soon...I used to get a two month supply, 180 pills, now I get 90 at a time

Fuck that, the DEA isn't going to ban amphetamine.
I might call those cocksuckers myself and complain.

Can't do away with amphetamines, they are too prevalent in nature.

i for one would be very happy with the DEA and FDA if they'd stop giving amphetamines to every kid who has a little trouble focusing in school.
