    I have an appointment with my primary neurologist next month. The last time I saw him he said he might be forced to switch me over to Nayzilam. The Versed syrup is getting almost impossible to get now. Because I live alone I keep two items at all times. Glucagon and Midazolam. Unless you have been around people with epilepsy you have no idea how life-threatening status epilepticus can be!

    I was wondering about this too. Planning to call Kroger to see if I can stay with them once I go OTR or if I'll have to switch to someone else.

    I've been using wal mrt for years for B.P. meds. Been $10/3 mo supply. Now suddenly it's $33/3 mo supply. Clerk says supplier charging more, while she sits underneath sign that says $10/3 mo supply for generics ! Anyway, she's ordering my RX from original supplier, be here tuesday. I was waiting for her to say "everythings up due to Covid"

    It's my understanding that one reason for this shortage of versed is because it's used on Covid patients!

    Very true. A kid i went to school with had it pretty bad. The 1st time i saw him have a seizure that was pretty scary watching him flop around

    Because I live alone over the years I have come to recognize the beginnings of these seizure events. It starts with both my lower legs acting like that want to cramp. This can go on for days. Then I have auras. I have two different types of aura and both have my neurologists looking at me with strange looks on their faces. One such aura is I can start to hear the current in the electrical wires in the walls. This can last for 30 minutes. I also have another that I can be all alone in a room and feel as if the room is full. Generally speaking, once those auras start is when I will take some versed syrup. If I am careful with the timing I can avoid the coming Tonic-Clonic seizure. If not I will have it. Because I am literally out of my mind I can't call for help. I have already resigned myself to the fact because I live alone I will one day have a MAJOR seizure and then go into status epilepticus! Most likely unless someone does a health and welfare check on me such a seizure will prove to be fatal.

    The thing about the VA is you cannot refill a script at a out of state VA clinic , VA says there computers are not hooked together , there a joke.
    For those of you that are not aware, Meijers has a free laundry list of scripts that are free , who else offers free prescriptions.
