According to Thai MIMS, temazepam is available in Thailand. I'm sure you know all benzos are hugely addictive, very hard to drop and 30mg is a heroic dose! No moral judgment. I've been playing with alprazolam for sleep for three decades. If you're being honest and really only taking temazepam PRN (as needed) two or three times a week, good chance you drew the brass ring and are not addicted. Get out of jail free. Although some posters here have said there are pharmacies that sell benzos under the counter, I've been here 37 years and never found one. I used to bring a year's worth of alprazolam on doc's prescription from Canada. If your doc will agree, I'd try that first. The only Customs problem is when sending them by post. All benzos and Z-drugs are tightly controlled here. 30 days, 30 tablets. To avoid endless doc visits, many docs here will say you're taking 90mg/day, thus giving you a three-month supply. Warning: there are many docs who absolutely want nothing to do with benzos so getting a cooperative doc is Russian roulette. My suggestion would be to go to a large, public hospital near you and make an appt with Psychiatry. (Don't worry, you're not crazy!) This is a process. You may get a young (probably cute, too) resident who has been told benzos are the devil. As her for her referral to an Ajarn (professor). Explain your position precisely, don't hide anything to have the best chance of success. You'll win this, don't stress! I was taking 1mg alprazolam every night for 6 years. Due to my age, doc thought it should be reduced. He suggested a most unconventional practice. I ground down the tablet three strokes on a metal nailfile for a month, then six strokes aso. Now I'm at 0.5mg. 30mg is really too much. You should try to get that down to 15mg and eventually 7.5mg depending on your sleep. Just a little scrape every night. Once you get settled of course. Suggested hospitals: Chulalongkorn, Sirirat, Ramatibodhi, Rajvithi. All these are teaching hospitals with lotsa docs. Good luck! Happy to guide you through!
