ive bought 5htp (dr vera's) over the counter in QLD. about a month ago infact. was a rather taxing experince. i walked around to over 15 pharmacys in brisvegas, with none stocking any. actually about half didnt know what i was even talking about. i discussed it with a few chemist and was told everything from 'its an illegal substances' to 'i think someones pulling your leg mate'. then i hit a pharmacy that had a very helpful young chicky who used to work in a naturapath/healthfood shop and she gave me some addresses.
anyway i rock up to this naturapath/healthfood shop and its having a closing down sale. didnt think id have any luck but i went in anyway (fuck id been to 15 places why not one more).
the chick at the front counter was a retard. i asked for 5htp and she hit me with a heap of questions.
'why do you need it' 'for depression/anxiety',
'have you got a referral from a naturapath?' 'no, what is that? ive never needed one before',
'its like a doctors referral but for natural remedies' 'erm its not scheleded so why do i need any form of authorization or referrals?',
'yes you do!! where have you been buying it?' 'internet',
'thats illegal!' 'look lady are you going to sell it to me or not',
*chick completely changes attitude and looks left to right *
'$50, would you like a bag?' 'i get it for $40 off the net',
'$45?' 'deal'.
and that was it. it seems to me none knows what the fuck is going on with 5htp.
i wouldnt bother buying from a shop again, $45 for fukcing dr vera's 5htp (30 capsules). absolute ripoff. anyway that shops closed now....
