It makes me wonder, is there a way to get this drug from a Chinese or Indian lab? I'm sure there are severe legal repercussions, but purely theoretically. It reminds me of the film The Dallas Buyers' Club

Yes, it's readily available to buy online from India for <$1/pill.
In practice there aren't legal repercussions. If you import scheduled drugs (adderall, opioids, etc.) and get caught that's obviously going to be a big issue. But with most prescription medications, the worst case scenario is that Customs will just toss your package. And the likelihood of that is low; the majority of the time it makes it through undetected.
I've done this in the past with another drug. In the US it was $30/month but from India I got 1000 pills for $30 + $40 expedited shipping. For me the big factor wasn't cost, but rather the convenience of not needing to go through the process of getting a prescription.
How do you know you're actually getting what you bought?
At least in theory, you can take a random sample of those 1000 pills to your friendly neighborhood chemist, and slip them a $20 to run them through e.g. a mass spectrometer or something to ensure they actually have the goods. And maybe also to ensure they don't have any bands you might be concerned about.
