So, next week is a fast and I live by the tylenol+caffeine suppositories that for some reason only heimish local pharmacies sell. Non-jewish pharmacies don't even know what they are.
I take at least one on every fast and they literally changed my life. I used to be a vegetable on the couch/bed and after my first fast married my wife saw me like that she begged me to try the suppository and it was an absolute game changer. I have never looked back. Until now. About a year ago the pharmacy I go to started requiring a prescription for them
so I just went to the next pharmacy
and then to the next. But now I've ran out of local pharmacies, all of them caught on and now require a prescription.
A) what changed? why do they now need a prescription?
B) how do I get a prescription for something that doesn't really exist outside the frum world? I asked a doc friend of mine and he didn't know what I was talking about and when I explained it he said just take the tylenol ones that are over the counter. But are those the same? I'd hate to have to go back to being a vegetable and my wife would hate it even more.
