Hah! That's awesome.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Em's doctor said that, like Amy said, in order to crack down on those using it to get high instead of to live their lives, the FDA siad, "You drug companies only get this much of this vital ingredient to make these drugs." Well, it's not enough to meet demand and thus, delays.
I think that, 9 times out of 10 (or more, maybe 9.5 times out of 10), the FDA's functions are good and necessary. But cutting off drug ingredients that are medically necessary because of the possibility of street abuse is bullshit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My IV anti-emetic of choice (it's also very effective with migraines) has been out of production for months. This means I get it orally, and then an IV each of the other two, and it's really not as good. But they had a "manufacturing issue" and now there's just none in the country.
I feel really bad for the chemo patients that relied on it. Pretty bad for me, but awful for them.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's actually the DEA that's making the call -- the FDA is the good guy here: [link]

One of my costume students has had problems getting Adderall as well, and it is really noticeable when he has not had it. I totally sympathize-- if they did that with Celexa I would be screwed.

That makes more sense, for very relative values of "sense".

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I had not heard about the ADHD drug shortages. Sounds like a mess and like precisely the wrong way to go about things. The drugs are too useful to make them so hard to get. I have complicated feelings about the college kids who use it as a study aid (meaning the ones who aren't prescribed it by their doctors). On the one hand, calling it "drug abuse" seems like the wrong term since they aren't really abusing it--they aren't going on a study bender!--but on the other I do worry about long term use of such powerful drugs without a doctor's supervision.

Oh my god, reading that article, it's all such a clusterfuck of ridiculous proportions. I didn't realize that there were "adequate" supplies of brand-name drugs, but not enough generic. That's crazy-making.

The status is NOT quo.
Zofran I'd the only anti-nausea med I'm not allergic to. Certainly not as much of an issue for me as for chemo patients, but scary.
