1) wellness pharmacy 800 number is 1-800-227-2627. local number is 205-879-6551. they're in birmingham, alabama. website is www.wellnesshealth.com
couldn't find numbers/websites for family or college pharmacies. but family pharmacy is in sarasota, florida, and college pharmacy is in boulder, colorado.2) checked my notes and study that said patch/gel no more effective than pills was done by johns hopkins and reported in the january 2000 issue of neurology. i made no notes about side effects, so don't know if article said. tried medline search for you but couldn't find. think i may have backed into it by going to ivillage.com, pluggling chronic fatigue syndrome into allhealth.com, then medline search for articles on cfs treatment or somesuch. abstract came right after one on selegeline providing energy benefits to those with cfs.
looking forward to hearing more from you and your research.
