I did my own research, and apparently, the new manufacture Mallinckrodt, had to reapply for FDA approval. They had to add a label with warnings regarding the suicide risks of prescribing to peds and adolescents. The FDA approved the changes 1/13/05. My guess is that there was a lag time, and thus, the shortage. I really let my pdoc know how hopeless and upset I was. I know she felt foolish when she learned they were still making it. Can't decide whether to let her know how angry I was or not. I'm 100% dependent on her. Thoughts?
