Pharmacist Doesn't Carry Seconal

Hi,
I was prescribed seconal for insomnia and when I went to my usual pharmacy, I was told they don't carry it. I then went to several of the big, chains Pharmacies and was told the same thing along with the fact they they wouldn't even order it. They recommended trying an independent pharmacy. I then went to several of those and was told the same, with the recommendation to try the bigger, chain ones!!!

Is Seconal impossible to get even with a legit doctor's prescription?!?! If not, does anyone know ANYone in LA/Long Beach area that does carry the drug? This is insane.

Hello, Walter! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

I'd suggest trying a hospital pharmacy or a compounding pharmacy, both tend to keep a larger supply of more unusual medications than most other pharmacies do.

The FDA classifies Seconal as a barbiturate, it's commonly used for its sedative properties. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, anxiety and confusion.

If you don't have either one in your area, then you may need to speak to your doctor about prescribing something else.

Does anyone else have any suggestions that might help?
