I went to Tijuana, Mexico today. It wasn't easy to find Moclobemide in the town. That's surprising because there are 50 pharmacies in town, and one of the places Moclobemide is made is in Mexico. Anyway, I finally found it in a pharmacy, but they wouldn't honor an American prescription. But the pharmacist directed me to a local Mexican doctor. He wasn't a psychiatrist, but he can practice all kinds of medicine, presumably because there aren't many qualified doctors down there. For $30 US I got a prescription for Moclobemide (called Aurorex down there), and $80 got me 120 of the 150mg tablets. At 4 tablets per day, that should last me 30 days. I think I got a good deal. {Addendum: they don't sell the 300 mg tablets there, and the doctor will only write you a prescription for the 150 mg tablets. That's because the manufacturer of Moclobemide down there put a 300 mg per day maximum on the prescribing reference}.
Getting the stuff through U.S. Customs was very easy. I declared that I had the medicine, and Customs didn't even look at what the medicine was. So I then put my back-pack through the scanning machine and just went to the bus which took me over the border to the United States again.I bet I could have found Reboxetine down there, but I didn't try.
