Prescription medicines available in Thailand?

[Bkkbound]

Does anyone know if Pregabalin and amitriptyline are available 1. In Thailand 2. Over the counter or by prescription only?
In U.K. I have them prescribed ..

Pregabalin available OTC at many pharmacies

Amitriptyline i don't know (it is avalable in Thailand,  not sure if OTC)

Both should be available, anti-depressants are available OTC , usually the anti depressants aren't cheap like other medicines though ($50-$100 a month for regular doses, at least for mine), I was thinking of taking some anti-anxiety meds just to help with some studying but considering the cost I passed 

 

Let me ask my pharmacy, I have them on Line and they're super cool, probably will get a response tomorrow

This pharmacy has fairly cheap prices already it’s just some medicines are pricey 

 

for the pregabalin and antidepressant this pharmacy actually said it was quite cheap, not sure the ops dose but I’d guess would cost around $30 a month

the cheapest pregabalin OTC I've found is 10x 75mg for 100 baht (10 baht a pill), a brand called 'Precious'

 

never tried getting a prescription at a government hospital, would be interested to know if this particular drug works out cheaper

Amitriptyline can be bought OTC too, loose pills, very cheap, they also have Nortriptyline
