Hello there;
I have been given a prescription for the SNRI Reboxetine (Edronax). Apparently it is very similar to Strattera, so my doctor and I are looking to give it a go.
One major obstacle is that it is not available here in Canada (or in the U.S.) :rolleyes:
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a safe and reputable on-line pharmacy from which I could order this drug. It is available in many other countries including the U.K. and Australia.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated!!:) :)
Many thanks,
addinbc.

I do not know the legal status of Reboxetine in Canada or in the United States. While amphetamine and methylphenidate-based stimulants are often controlled substances, Strattera is not, and it is possible that Reboxetine may also not be a controlled substance.
If it is legal to import this drug from a foreign pharmacy, I suppose certain common-sense precautions should apply. One would be to make sure that you order from a pharmacy in a developed nation with a first-rate healthcare system. I mean no offense to, say, Kyrgystan, but keep in mind that some countries' healthcare systems do not have the protections or standards that we enjoy here in the US and Canada. The UK and australia have another advantage in that they also speak English, which can help eliminate possible miscommunication or mistakes. I'm sure that a French or German pharmacy would be fine as well, but you never know when something important might get lost in translation, and if there were last minute complications it would be good to be able to speak in your native tongue.
In terms of what to look for, make sure that the pharmacy reuires a prescription, and that they also will speak with your doctor. Regardless of the country, a legitimate pharmacy should want to see a prescription, and speaking with your doctor would allow them both to confirm each others' credentials. Such a pharmacy might be more expensive, but your health is worth it.
One final note: I would avoid any pharmacies that send out those spam emails, or which heavily advertise substances like Viagra, Vicodin, Oxycontin, Xanax, etc. My guess is that you probably don't need me to tell you this, but I figured it couldn't hurt.
I would also like to re-emphasise that this advice is only applicable if importing Reboxetine is legal where you live. Please check with your doctor, and perhaps also a pharmacist or lawyer, to make sure that this is the case.
