Strattera (atomoxetine)  is available here and might be worth asking your doctor about. It has a different mode of action than Ritalin and is not a stimulent as such so less likely to cause anxiety.

is strattera offered in a generic version or cheaper version? I looked into it and seems pretty expensive compared to ritalin

Hey so I've been getting prescribed ritalin for the past year here in thailand to help with my adhd and though it does help me focus better and increases my attention spam I always have to suffer the anxiety-like effects of it which are pretty uncomfortable (though manageable), I know adderall isn't approved for use here but I'm wondering if there are any alternatives my doctor can prescribe to me?

Etizolam is approved for use but there is no registered product of it so not available.

 

It does not appear on the list of controlled substances but that is likely only because it is not used here, if and when it becomes available it would almost certainly be classed as a controlled substance. As I assume you know, it is highly addictive.

 

Sleep meds available in Thailand besides benzos are:

 

hydroxyine (Atarax and many other brand names, the 25 mg tabs not the 10mg and dose can be 25 - 75 mg) - over the counter

 

zlopidem and zopiclone - controlled susbatnces, hospital pharmacy only

 

melatonin can also be gotten OTC, lazada sells it online

 

 

 

 

thanks a lot for the info, in regards to etizolam would it then  be legal to order online?

Phenibut is not approved for use in Thailand (nor in many other countries) but it is also not on the list of banned substances. So  it  falls into a somewhat grey area.

 

It is technically illegal to import any medication through the mail unless you have an FDA import license, which yo ucannto get. In practice custoims usually lets through small quantities of meds if they come by regular mail (not courier), are small in quantity and not a controlled substance.

 

thanks for the info, do you happen to know the status on etizolam? 

I used to use this for sleep as benzodiazepines don't work as well with me. Can't find much info regarding this drug. Is it legal? would I get in trouble for ordering myself some online?

Im a 23 year old guy and im hoping its nothing serious but been having chest pain after a couple years of a lot of cigarette smoking so I'd like to check up on it and wish to do a chest xray. How do I go about this and what would the price be? Also while I'm at it I think I might as well do a full body check up since I havent gotten one in over 3 years, same question how and how much? thanks for answers in advance 

thanks for the replies. How exactly does the blacklisting work, is it just a stamp in your passport? Whats stopping people who hold 2 passports from coming right back?

So I haven't done this nor am I planning to I'm just wondering how immigration deals with this sort of thing. So assuming someone overstayed their visa by say 4 months, ik they get the 20k baht fine +  1 year ban now but would they have to have a return ticket to their country when leaving or would they be able to leave using a ticket to another country?

so I couldnt do half in thailand and half back in my country? I'm actually going for invisalign, it being a trademarked thing is there some way to continue the process at another dentist in my country? I guess this is something I should speak to a dentist about but yea if anyone has any insight let me know, thanks. iirc my friend started her invisalign in costa rica and continued it in the states

Sorry if Im posting this in the wrong section. Anyways Im going to be in thailand till around summer and would like to get braces while I'm here. I'm wondering if I could get the braces here and finish them off in my home country? Also how does the payment work do you need to pay the full amount or how does it work exactly sorry for the noob questions I have no idea how this stuff works. Also any recommendation are appreciated, look forward to any replies, thanks

Hey so I was wondering if you were to 'hand yourself in' at the border with less than 90 days overstay and pay the 20k baht fine what would the other penaalties be? I'd have to do a visa run in a couple of days but overlooked that my passport expiry date just falls right under a 6 month period from when I'd apply for a new visa, so now I'm thinking if I should just leave the country now all together but if I were to risk it and wait for my passport renewal then go to the border on a 1-2 month overstay and pay the fine would I have an issue applying for a new visa? this would be in vientiane, and yes I got the 30 day extension already. I know this forum is against breaking the law so the general advice will probably be to just get out now, but if I were to choose to overstay then 'hand myself in' with less than 90 days would this have an effect on me re-entering?

Most of those painkillers are not available in Thailand at all. They pretty much just use morphine and you pretty much have to be dying and in the hospital to get any kind of pain management. 

 

Thailand isn't india. 

what are the strongest pharmaceuticals they have at pharmacies? 

A friend of mine is asking if these drugs are available at thai pharmacies with perscription 

 hydrocodone
Oxycodone
dextroamphetamine
Clonazepam
percocet
oxymorphone
ketamine

As an adult with no prior history of diagnosis of ADHD, no,  it will not be easy. It will depend on the expert opinion of the doctor treating you and some tests may be administered. Anxiety disorders in particular can present with similiar symptoms so do not be so certain you have adhd and let the doctors make their assessment.

 

Cost of a consultation with a psychiatrist at a government hospital will likely be just a few hundred baht, maybe more if some cognitive tests have to be administered.

 

Ritalin brand is an expensive import. There is  a less expensive generic equivalent called Rubifen and government hospitals will likely have it. How much it costs exactly I can't say.

cool thank you

Ritaline = solely through hospitals, it is a tightly controlled substance. Will be very expensive at a private hospital so I suggest going to a government one if you can handle the extra red tape and long waits.  See one of the psychiatrists at Sripat or visit Suanprong Psychiatric Hospital  http://www.suanprung.go.th/eng/

 

Cough medicine with codeine =  ditto. Codeine is treated as a Class 2 narcotic, same as morphine, believe it or not. You will not  find robitussin brand here but there are local equivalents. HOWEVER, what you can get OTC, at any pharmacy or even 7-11, that works just as well (assuming you want this for cough suppression) is Brown Mixture which contains an expectorant and trace amount  if tincture of opium. Green package with red tiger in it.

cool thanks for the reply, do you think it will be easy to get a ritalin prescription? I'm like 100% possitive I have adhd my teachers even recommended me to get checked for it but I've never been diagnosed also how expensive would the examination be and how expensive are the pills?

As previously mentioned, an abortion at 20 weeks is not a clinic procedure. Be very careful. Any clinic which offers to do this is not only acting illegally but quite likely also unsafely.

also while on this topic is ritalin sold through pharmacies or just through the hospital? Im planning on seeing a ppsychiatrist to prescribe me ritalinbut live far from cm ram so wouldnt want to go there all the time

If I get a prescription for codeine would I be able to buy otc robitussin with codeine or is it only sold in pill form?

yea idk why zhe witted so long i remember jokingly asking her if shes pregnant cause her boobs got bigger and she was like nah, but shes 100% for abortion i just think she very naive she said she thought she wasnt getting  her period due to stress or something (ik very dumb) we're going to cm clinic today to see what they can do as yes the baby is 20 weeks old but still much smaller than most 20 week old babies if nothing can be done in thailand we're looking for flights to another country

she wants an abortion too, wwhat are our options?

Okay so I ahd started a thread earlier about this topic but got no clear answers, the girl is 20 weeks pregnant. what are my options to get an abortion? I dont mind having to fly to another country, how can this be taken care of?

my personal opinion is, that your up -your -self attitude that makes you ask for help without even writing 'please' - you actually seem to be demanding it - is just the same reason why you got that poor girl pregnant.

sort it out some other way, pal!

lol what are you talking about 

Okay so Im 20 years old and knocked up a 21 year old girl and we need an abortion asap, Im currently in chiang mai, where can we find an abortion clinic and how much would it cost?

will you get banned from re-entering thailand if you overstay your visa for 2 months?

sorry this is a duplicate thread not sure how to delete, mod can remove
