Phenergan shortage

If anyone else gets their Phenergan from Walgreen's drugstores, be warned that their supplier for the drug has stopped making it, which means none of the stores (at least in my area) have ANY in stock. Other pharmacies may have the same problem; I managed to find the 25 mg but not the 12.5 mg at a CVS (which is fine, as the pills are scored and can be split). Just wanted to warn everyone who's on it that it may become a but more difficult to find!

My pharmacy in West Virginia also had problems with filling a phenegren order. Their computer said it was no longer manufactured. That was kind of alarming.

I know I started with Compazine, but found Phenergan worked a little better - maybe that's an acceptable substitute if anyone can't get the Phenergan? Suzanne, I'm still also on Zofran and Reglan, trying again to get down to 1 Zofran a day so I don't have to buy any more until Thomas is born.... My mom just sent us some money as a gift, and it is SO welcome - what with the Zofran expenses, it's been hard to find money for things like William's big boy bed, a rocker for Thomas' room, all those other new baby expenses that add up.... But it's all going to be worth it when he's born - I just keep reminding myself of that!
