legality of phenibut?

[P4K]

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?

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? 

 

[Sheryl]

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?

[Sheryl]

It would be a grey area.

 

And it is technically not legal to import medications by mail without an FDA license.
