Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Friday, That sounds like a very broad statement to make. We have seem people from the US and Britain complain about the same thing. I live near Melbourne and have two doctors and am sure they both would have prescribed LDN for me had I asked as they know and trust me. I printed out and took with me heaps of stuff on LDN for the one I saw first but she didn't bother - just wrote me a script for it. Friday wrote: Anyone in Australia out there?

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 , did the doctor who prescribed it to you write it out as 50mg, and have to get an authority from that gov't number they call for writing the script? Did you have to convince her to put the authority through as 'alcoholic' treatment or was it not an issue? Do you take it to a compounder and if so, is it expensive? Im glad you wrote back, i have more hope now -im just not sure if i have to get my doctor to record that im an alcoholic needing treatment in order to prescribe it. thanks Friday > > > Anyone in Australia out there?
