CT, I see your points. I lean libertarian when it comes to medicine access/availability. I'd like Costco to address it publicly but they just kind of snuck in the change in the last month or two. A sign next to the loperamide stand with a clear explanation might be useful instead of snatching the extra boxes at the register. It's poorly implemented. I bet it is DEA appeasement related given the sweeping changes throughout the USA after the CDC guidelines were released. The creep never ends. That and the employees are saying it is DEA related but the lawsuit angle makes sense.
Mostly, this issue and the general opiate changes just bum me out and make it more difficult to get the medicine I need. IMO, the country needs a patient advocacy lobby to ensure changes are fair, useful, and don't impede pain treatment.
I've been taking 16mg daily for best results. I wish I didn't need any.
