My experience of getting benzos and zolpidem in Thailand involved going into any hospital or clinic and honestly saying I have trouble sleeping but benzos/zollpidem help and then receiving as many of the type I asked for in the dosage I asked for. It could not have been easier other than just going directly to a pharmacy if that was possible.
However, I do think benzos etc.are horrible long-term and difficult to quit. I will never take another one.
