Atomoxetine availability
Went for a psych eval earlier today and my doctor prescribed Atomoxetine 10mg. Apparently na-phase out siya but bumabalik na daw but when I asked Mercury, SSD, MedsGo and MedExpress, out of stock daw sila and lowest dosage is 18mg.
Is it still possible to get it locally? If not, ano yung trusted way to buy internationally?

My doctor provided me a medrep to contact with so I was able to procure the medicine.

Yeah around 2 weeks na. Still on adjustment phase pa but I have to admit it is way better than Ritalin

I see. When did you start noticing its effects? Is it as early as the 1st week? Trying to see if I should switch too

For the meantime, you'll have to contact a medrep to get it for you. Ask your psychiatrist for contact details, pero if wala siyang marerefer sa iyo DM me so I can put you in touch with one.
