I don't have much time.
I secured a 20-day supply of brand from my HMO (Kaiser Permanente) and was shocked to discover EVERYONE seems to be out. Apparently, Kaiser has some on backorder which will be filled about a week or two after I run out, which means I need to find a community or online pharmacy with stock.
For Americans: Pfizer (Greenstone is the generic - Identical), and Lupin (formerly Gavis Pharma/Novel Labs) are the licensed suppliers of Nardil/phenelzine in the United States. As soon as I wake up tomorrow, I am calling both to find out exactly what's going on.
Internet searches have not been very productive - if anyone knows more information about this shortage, please reply here. I need this medicine, it is the ONLY thing that has ever worked for my depression. And I've tried virtually everything else. I certainly hope they are not discontinuing production. Does anyone know why there's a shortage?
