try ringing your local chemist, cause I thought the legislation had changes recently so you could buy it over the counter. your local pharmacist would be able to help you. Im in NSW, not sure if this applied Australia wide (if you are outside Aust, not sure...)

Id ring. They are the ones who dish out the stuff. Good Luck.

Some forms of the birth control pill can be taken in increased doses to the same effect as the MAP. If you have access to any BCP's that were prescribed *for you*, it might be worth calling their hotline to ask about this option.

Good luck!
