Kazoo,
I thank you for advising me in regard to the Desoxyn and Abbott. One thing that happens to me when my AD(H)D gets "out of control," is that I can't stay concentrated long enough to know what to do. So, your pointing me in the right direction was a blessing.
I phoned Abbott is Ill. They are to return my call. Apparently, this drug is still being manufactured, but some pharmacies (according to 2 of the ~50, pharmacists with which I've spoken to the previous 2 days) only do business with certain manufacturers. Consequently, I have to find a pharmacy which does business with a manufacturer who distrubutes the 15 mg. Gradumet (or 25 mg. gradument- preferred by pdoc). This is like adding a nightmare to a nightmare.
A smaller pharm did deal with a manufacturer who carries the 5 mg. Desoxyn (but not gradumet form).
My doctor will write another Rx for 5 mgs (to take 6 a day, instead of the 15 mgs. gradument which I was to take 2 a day.Dr. Bob has info. on this drug on another page, and I noticed several doctors referring to the 25 mg. pill! Seems the 15 mg. unknown to anyone I've yet to speak with. Perhaps, those doses are discontinued, I don't know. However, hopefully I soon will!
