Is the medicine Parnate/tranylcypromine by any chance.
You will have a problem as a UK pharmacy cannot dispense on a foreign script. The prescriber must be resigster with the General Medical Council here in the UK which is the body that oversee's Doctors.
This is in contrast to just about everywhere else in the world.
I have sat in pharmices here and seen all sorts of American Doctors come in and try to obtain prescription medicines only to be denied and they get very annoyed. The last on was an opthalmologist who wanted an aminoglycoside antibiotic eye drop for his daughter who had an eye infection.
So I am afraid coming over here will not do you much good, and you will find if it is a sn MAOI you have been prescibed it is like pulling teeth trying to get a UK Doctor ro prescribe one even with your US script (you could bring you Doctor with you and it would still make no difference).
Sorry I cannot be of more help.
