Dealing with shortages

Love that I have to call a bunch of pharmacies in the area waiting for several minutes just to check if my prescribed drug is available.

Anyone have a good way of dealing with this?

Edit: found a pharmacy after waiting through several automated messages 😩

Small, independent pharmacies rather than big chains. That's the most success I've had in getting my prescription filled.

Ask your doctor if they'll prescribe a non-standard dose. My wife had trouble getting 20mg Adderall and her doctor had them change it to 15mg which worked for a while.
