Trying to get meds for my son who was just diagnosed and everyone’s out of stock.
Any pharmacy in the Bklyn/ SI area more likely to have?

Focalin or Ritalin

I'm not in your area but was having difficulty too. The nurse at the doctor's office suggested I try the local mom and pop pharmacies, as they have a better chance of having them in stock. Don't know if it's the same in bkly but may be worth a try if your not having luck with the larger/chain stores. I know it's super frustrating. Hatzlocha finding what I need.

Any reason those specific meds?
Don't live in that area but have trouble getting my kids their meds. They are on different ones but one is apparently very hard to get- vyvance. We switched to a different medication that is almost as good. But if you can try a different type of med it might be easier in your location. We also tried smaller pharmacies. One can always get the new med for 1 kid, a different pharmacy can get for the second.
