alt Hacker News> Thus the drug is $11/month but costs me $60 in time to wait in that line
In what reality? You were not being paid $60 to grocery shop or whatever else you might have done with that 15 minutes. Nor did it actually reduce your bank account by $60 to wait 15 minutes. If you applied this logic to everything in life, reading this very comment probably "cost" you a dozen bucks too. What a fun way to live?

How often are your anticipating needing pseudoephedrine? For most people it's a once a year, at most, thing.

I take it every day; deviated septum and allergic to everything even after decades of immunotherapy. Maybe I should get surgery. But this is easier.

You're kidding, right? For people with allergies and/or chronic sinusitis, it's a thing they're taking for about a quarter of the year off and on. ...and they _will_ practically "cut you off" if you buy enough to be taking it for 45 days straight, no matter how you buy it.
That phenylephrine (which everyone with sinuses knows doesn't do a damn thing) was perpetually being touted as a substitute was just adding insult to injury.
