Also: found four syringes of DP in my cupboard that I ordered from Goldpharma (I thought I had run out) and put two of them in this evening. Would like to try a new method of CC but this will do in the interim.
Well you’re certainly not messing about!!
I think that half my problem is that I’m too damn cautious..!
Well, if all the site showed you was that the site was in Turkey, I must have posted the wrong link. Sorry. The page I was reading had all sorts of information on it.
I now have my Androcur -- they tried to deliver it on Saturday but nobody was in, so I picked it up from the post office this morning. Just popped my first, will start with 50mg/day to begin with and see how it goes. For anyone wondering, it was packaged discreetly with no mention of what was inside on the packet (unlike Inhouse Pharmacy packages).
The Doctor is In. Again. I'm pleased you got what you ordered but....did you really? The pharmaceutical market is glutted with fake medicine that not only is useless but can be dangerous. China has been established as one of the main sources with India and Pakistan two others. The most common problem isn't chemically improper drugs, but those that contain only the smallest portion of what you believe you've ordered. A chemical test would reveal that but no one will bother. This is particularly true of drugs that need to be taken over a long period of time to be effective. (I take Dilantin for seizures caused by MS, have taken it for years, but..up front it was several months before my body sustained a level of retention to be useful.) I am old, a former surgeon as well as a Doctor but...the moment you order medicine through the post, you open yourself to problems. Here's another one. Once they have your name and what you ordered they can begin to draw a profile of you, your speculated habits, wants etc. This gets handed on to someone who panders to that person and your name is off and running. Also, lets say you're not satisfied with the results, whatever they say, you probably have very little chance of returning them and receiving a refund. All of these places want the verisimilitude of being a legitimate business but few if any really are. Also, there's a lively market in drug rejects. That is to say a run of a certain drug that did not meet the standards of the firm that produced them. The theory is they are destroyed, the practice is some employee takes them, sells them to one of the online pharmacies and they are sold to the customer as new and valid. There was a case in Singapore of one whole lot of drugs that weren't even what they purported to be-Minoxidil as I recall-but instead was a souped up aspirin.
As always, buyer beware. And, if you have the path to do it, have one of what you've received checked for purity and safety.

Given how difficult it is to get a regular prescription from a GP for anti androgens what do you suggest people do?
Regardless of which online pharmacy you purchase from there is a risk. I would suggest that by sharing our experiences we can help others to avoid the less reputable ones.
I can’t see the problem going away unless doctors become more willing to prescribe, or it becomes possible to purchase over the counter at your local pharmacy. For some of us the current system just doesn’t work, and we’re left with little choice but to buy online.
Yes I agree. I’m just saying that sometimes it feels a bit like being between a rock and a hard place.
When I told my GP that I was going to self medicate she gave me the following advice:
1. Don’t
2. If you’re going to ignore me then do the following…
3. Properly research doses (take minimum necessary) and try to find the most reputable source possible (recommendation by several different people is a good start).
4. Especially if you live alone, make sure someone knows what you are doing and will come and make sure that you are okay if they don’t hear from you (I gave a friend a set of house keys and we spoke on the phone daily when I started taking Androcur).
5. If you feel a little unwell then stop taking medication immediately and make appointment with GP.
6. If you feel very unwell then go to hospital right away, TAKING WITH YOU the medication you have been taking (make sure that friend knows to do this and where you keep them - or give them a couple of pills to keep before you start).
7. Even if things seem to be going okay book regular blood tests for liver function, kidney function, blood counts, etc., as you may be getting sick without even realising it.
