Pregabalin can be bought over the counter in Thailand. Risperidone requires a prescription and is usually available only at hospitals.

 

You are allowed to bring in up to a 30 day supply of meds when you come and they are not too strict ion that quantity as long as it looks consistent with personal use. Make sure they are in labelled prescription bottles.

 

Also make sure you have travel insurance that covers hospitalization as this can be quite costly.

Hi,

 

While Risperidone might well (officially) require a prescription it is available in expensive versions at Fascino, cheaper in the Democracy Monument area of Bangkok and the generic version there is so cheap you wouldn't notice the hit on your wallet.

 

Cheers

Update re pregabalin at Fascinos, North Pattaya.  They now have 

Pregabalin Sandoz from Novartis, Thailand.

 

Not super-cheap, but about 2/3 their price for Lyrica.

those are high risk medicines, esp the risperdone,  why not stock up before leaving  IMO
