Help needed - any one is USA or Canada?

I have been on Bupropion (Zyban, Wellbutrin) for about 5 years for ADHD.

It's the only thing that works. I have a prescription.

The supply chain has been disrupted in the UK and Glaxo-smithkline now can't give a date for when it will be available again.

I am desperate. I am scared of losing my job when I run out.

Online pharmacies in the US and Canada have stock but won't ship. Can anyone offer to get me some where they are and send it to me?? I am assuming this is legal!!!

It’s a prescription drug and in order to purchase prescription drugs in the US/Canada you typically need to have a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider in country - and nor will a US/Canadian pharmacy sell it to somebody without a prescription. You need to be talking to your own doctors about alternative medications or therapies.

The person you're asking to purchase them won't have a prescription though.. a pharmacist won't dispense based on "my friend has a prescription."

Your prescription was presumably issued by a doctor in the UK? This won’t be accepted to dispense a prescription in the US or Canada (exceptions would be e.g. in an emergency if you yourself were in either country and needed replacement medication urgently.) It won’t be valid for a US or Canadian based pharmacy, they would require a prescription issued by a provider registered in the same country.
