Is there a reliable online pharmacy that will supply sibutramine to Australians?
Abbott has recently withdrawn Reductil from the Australian market, on the basis of a clinical test that shows that it increases heart attack and stroke risk in people with predispositions to cardiovascular disease.
I want to keep using it regardless, because (a) the increased risk is caused by a common side-effect (blood pressure increase) that doesn't happen for me and (b) using sibutramine alters my whole relationship with food, putting me back in control of my eating. With it, I find I can easily sustain healthy eating patterns; without it, doing so is an endless, grinding struggle. I don't want to die from being this fat.
So, since my local GP will have been advised not to prescribe sibutramine and no Australian pharmacy will carry it, I'm looking for a reliable online source. My only previous experience with online pharmacies has been keeping their spam out of my inbox.
So: who makes reliable, clean, generic sibutramine, and will ship it to Australian customers without an Australian Rx?

Response by poster: I believe this was a voluntary withdrawal, not a ban; AFAIK there's no legal issue.

I can't answer the "good pharmacy" bit, but the legal side is dealt with here. I'd think you'd still need a scrip, and be willing to show that (and your order details) to Customs after the dogs start sitting down and wagging their tails.

You could also try to get your GP to try Wellbutrin, or Wellbutrin+an SSRI. Seems like they might have similar effects.
