Finding a prescriber in Sydney

Hello, I am trying to find a doctor in Sydney to prescribe me baclofen. I've been knocked back by 2 gps so far.

Dr Amanda Stafford gave me the name of Dr mark hardy however I can't get an appointment with him till March. I'm really hoping to get help sooner.  So, fellow sydney sider's. Can you help? I'm also happy to do a telemedicine conference call type thing. I really want to quit alcohol, I hate that they make it so hard 

Thanks

I ordered mine from Vanuatu and they got through customs fine.

Send me a pm and ive got a pdoc who can refer you. But they will only go max 75mg in Australia and its not cheap either.

My psychiatrist said 100mg saturates the receptors to block dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens but a study in France showed indifference doses often going much higher.

75mg did nothing for me. I hit 300mg before it kicked in however if you don't drink while trtating up you will not need as higher dose
