I don't think they took Chlor-trimeton off the market because of WOsD. They already took phenylpropanolamine off the market and they are trying to restrict pseudoephedrine, because they can be used to make Schedule 1 dope.

But Chlor-trimeton is not a chemical that can be used in a tweeker lab recipe.

It's probably competition from Claritin and Alavert et al, in short, a business decision.

I do expect the war on pseudoephedrine to escalate sharply, though. That and anhydrous ammonia, blueprint operation where I work used to get tanks of anhydrous ammonia for some print process and now the DEA wants record keeping of each drop of anhydrous. They switched to another printmaking process rather than face endless scrutiny.

Oh, it was definitely a business decision, sorry if what I wrote implied otherwise. It's just that after the business decision was made, hoarding the stuff to get through hay fever season was made more difficult for me by the meth hysteria.

That being said, it was a better drug for me than the newer more expensive stuff. They still have the 4-hour Chlor-Trimeton available, but getting up in the middle of the night every night to take a pill during spring/summer isn't much fun. I'm now using Tavist.
