Hello Momfeelinglost. If your question is "is there is shortage of seroquel? " then the answer is no there is not a shortage. I researched it on line and then I phoned my own pharmacist and asked him. He looked it up and said that there appeared to be a lot at his supplier and there were no warnings about shortages etc. (which is why I deal with Guardian drug stores, they are always willing to talk with me). Below I have included direct phone lines that you can phone direct and inquire directly and see if there is any shortage.
If I have misinterpreted your question please let me know and I can provide you with some hints. However I will wait until you find out if it's just his doctor being mistaken about availability or the doc just wants to change your sons meds. Take Care. Paul M p.s. I worry about changing meds too.
Seroquel is made in Canada by and you can call them direct.
