Thanks for the PM but I've been buying from the same pharmacy as you for several years now.
You were fortunate not to pay tax - usually you will have to if the contents of your package are worth £15 or more. Occasionally the packages don't get stopped but it's rare.
If you're planning on taking half a grain be aware that's a low dose. Usual advice is to raise to a grain after 2 weeks. If after another 2 weeks it feels like you'd benefit from an increase, go to 1.5 grains etc. I wouldn't advise going past 2 grains without sticking with that dose for at least 6 weeks and then having a blood test to check levels.
Do not expect a miracle, and feel better within an hour! Just one day soon you will get out of bed and think "what shall I do today" rather than "what shall I not do today". For me, it was like someone taking off a heavy old overcoat and releasing me into the sun - I hope it works for you too.
