Still not been supplied! Have been told they have changed manufacturer. Luckily I had a bit of a 'stock-pile' so have been ok up until now, but will be running out soon. Have been advised that there is a larger tablet (I take 2 little ones) that I could take and these are not in such short supply...so I need to make an appointment with GP to get the prescription changed.

That must be pretty frustrating. I hope there's another alternative!

I went to get a refill of the Name Brand Simenet in January and none in the Mankato area had it. The pharmacist had tried two generic makers brand of cardilopa/levadopa which did nothing for my symptoms. I was put on the name brand Simenet for a year and half...due to the shortage, by the suggestion of Struthers Institute my pharmacist order a 90 day supply of a generic brand from a company that use to make the name brand, worked beautifully. I went from paying $200 a month to $1 for these generics! I need a refill and was told there is now a shortage with this company! What is going on?
