Does anyone know where to get Seconal? I have an Rx but no one has it in stock.

Have you tried asking your pharmacy if they can order it in for you?

Even if they don't carry it, they should be able to order enough in to fill your prescription.

The pharmacy I use regularly just did this with a medication for me, because I'm a regular customer and they know I'll gladly buy it there instead of running elsewhere.

Your best bet is to go in, show them your prescription and see what they can do for you.

Are there any other comments or questions?

Hi all, I have a legitimate prescription for about 20 seconal and I am having a hard time getting it filled. I live in the Phila area & my pharmacy said they haven't seen an rx for seconal in over 15 years! I went to an independent pharmacy and they said the same thing!!! Please does anyone know where I can get my rx filled? BTW my doc who wrote for these retired last week.

Lucy, you can try going to other independently owned pharmacies. I seriously doubt that a large chain will have Seconal, but I may be wrong. Seconal is a Schedule II, you need to find out how long you have to get it filled, this is governed by individual State Law. You can ask a pharmacist if they will order it for you, but don't be surprised if they say no. I am assuming that you asked for the Seconal because it is rarely prescribed any longer and I can't imagine a dr prescribing it on their own.

The rights to manufacture Seconal were acquired by Valeant, who promptly massively raised the price for this drug and many other drugs that they acquired. You probably saw the news that Valeant is under Congressional investigation for such pricing practices (though not because of Seconal's pricing). As of today, March 26, 2016, Seconal shows up as "unavailable from the manufacturer" even with large distributors, such as McKesson. It appears that Seconal may no longer be manufactured by Valeant and therefore no longer be commercially available in the U.S. If someone knows of a distributor that can still source Seconal, please do post this information here.

Seconal No Longer Manufactured, the generic would be secobarbital. But I doubt any pharmacy will tell you without a prescfription if they carry it. Although your regular pharmacist might.

Anyone know where I can get this Seconal shipped into the UK? My sleep has been getting worse and worse as I get older and I was hoping to try something external.

If I can't obtain Seconal, "legally", I'll tell you the same thing I tell other people that are inquiring to get-hold of it: UNLESS YOU HAVE A "ROCKIN' RELATIONSHIP" WITH A PHYSICIAN..... YOUR CHANCES ARE BASICALLY NIL. And let's just say you actually got a legit prescription for it, and even IF your pharmacy actually stocks it, you're looking at a MINIMUM of $700 out of pocket for a #30 count of 100mg capsules because NO insurance company, (unless perhaps you're a policy-holder with Lloyd's Of London), no insurance will pick up the difference. I know! I know! It's pure bulls*** as to why the FDA & DEA made it available again after retiring the Eli Lilly original-red's for about two years if no Doctor will R/x it. I'm on your side, and if I am coming off as cocky, or a know-it-all, I assure you I am not. I'm just another U.S. civilian who wonder's why the best sleeping pill in pharmaceutical-creation is "legal" but so f***ing taboo. Good luck on your search for reds.

Seconal works. It is available and at Cigna Home Delivery Pharmacy as well as Walgreens. It took a lot of effort and wrangling for me to have my legit Rx filled, however I have finally found a pharmacist that will order this and fill my Rx. My physician knows that I am very cautious about the potential for abuse. This medication WORKS. I just do not understand why it has been so vilified. Ambien and the like have no effect on my.....Seconal works like a charm when I need it. 4000.00 for 100 capsules is crazy and down right insane.
