There are no prescriptions in thailand.  There are some controlled drugs which can only be bought at hospitals, which means seeing a doctor.  

As noted above, this is a controlled drug in Thailand, you will need to go to a (government) hospital and see a doctor.

Interesting that they work for you for sleeping, I assume you just take them as needed? The first couple of weeks they really nocked me out but now I don't get this effect anymore.

I buy them from these, fast delivery, can only buy using a 'Line' mobile app. :-

Easy to find.  Just try another pharmacy

BS. !! Of Course there are prescriptions. If you see a doctor in hospital he gave you the bill including the receipt for the pharmacy. AFTER you paid the bill you hand the docket to the pharmacy and will get your medication!

That's not a prescription.  It's a receipt.  You don't have to buy the medication from the hospital if you don't want to.  They might write down what you should get on a piece of paper.  But that's not a prescription either.  You can go to any pharmacy outside of a hospital and just tell them what you need, no slip from a doctor is needed.

 

The Bangkok hospital I go to in Ratchaburi doesn't even list the medications with prices like the law supposedly requires.  Just one line:   Medication   XXXX baht.

Tricyclic antidepressenats like amitryptiline and nortriptyline  are not controlled drugs in Thailand. Can be sold over the counter.

 

However as seldom used, they can be hard to find.

 

Medisafe as already suggested may be best option.

I don't want to argue with you. However, when I go to a hospital and see a doctor, he send the bill to the reception. With this bill I go to the cashier. After having paid I hand this paid bill including the medicines written on this docket/prescription to the pharmacy and get my medication.

MANY medicines are only available in hospitals. 

So why to go to a pharmacy outside when I can't get my medicine there?

That makes no sense at all.

But you read SHERYL's post. She said it all concerning this case with Amitriptyline.
