I want to buy some cyclizine as I have emetophobia and like to have some just to ease my anxiety but my doctor won’t put them on repeat prescription .
This site looks like it’s genuine and sells them for £16.. what is your opinion?

www.expresschemist.co.uk/

The site looks okay but if it's something you can buy without a prescription it's much safer to go to your local chemist and buy it there where you can guarantee you know you're getting something safe and have some recourse if you end up with dodgy pills.

I know you're not gonna want to hear this but chances are the reason your doc won't prescribe them as because they don't think it's clinically appropriate, you may be just using them needlessly as a crutch for your phobia which may ease some very short term anxiety but doesn't solve the issue long term and taking medication comes with its own risks and side effects too. Taking regular strong anti sickness meds in case you feel sick or need to be sick isn't a helpful way to deal with emetophobia.

I recommend you ring your local IAPT to self refer for a CBT assessment to look into treating the phobia instead of getting stuck having to buy tablets that aren't appropriate/suitable from potentially dodgy sites behind your doctor's back.
