My pharmacist has been unable to gain a supply of Neurontin as Pfizer, the manufacturers, are apparently restricting supplies because there isn't enough to go around?
I have phoned the only two other pharmacies that are accessible to me, and they are saying the same thing.
I have roughly 8 days worth of medication left.
When I take other brands of what is essentially Gabapentin for my epilepsy, I end up having breakthrough seizures, as the half-life of the active ingredients is different.
I am starting to panic a little. And none of the pharmacists can tell me when they will get the rest of this months meds in, or whether I will have this problem next month too.
How would I go about finding out if what I am being told is true, or of it is my (notably crap and almost bankrupt) PCT trying to limit use of Gabapentin to other, cheaper generic brands? I'm already on a generic as it gave me the best seizure control, but chopping and changing messes with that and I can't have that!
Can anyone help me to sort this out?
