asianscouser Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hi. First before users (Forum users) call me a drug addict or other demeaning names let me put you in the picture. I moved to Thailand in 2010, sold my business in 2009 after a haunting 44 years of anxiety and panic attacks. Hearing Benzodiazepines and Barbituates were sold over the counter here I made a bee line in 2010 and stayed quite comfortable until 2014 when it became "Prescription only" or clinic/hospital only. I managed to secure a long term doctor HOWEVER!!! After a long trip in the Philippines I arrived back in Thailand "New years day" today I went to a pharmacy in Pattaya. Long story short (Self justification stinks) I was sold small pinkish/red pills and she said they're 5 mg Valium?? I haven't taken them, what's she talking about, anybody?

fforest1 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Sorry but virtually no one can get Barbituates any more... They have been locked down world wide sense some time in the 80s.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemouse Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Friend of mine in Bangkok had same experience, he asked for Diazepam, and pharmacy sold him red tablets, he had never seen Diazepam come in this colour. But he claims pills worked just as Diazepam should. But this was 6-7 years ago, and he has never come across Diazepam in this colour. It is always light blue for 10Mg tablets, sometimes he has encountered yelow 5Mg tablets, both from reputable pharmacies. I would not take these red pills tho. Who knows what it is. Instead walk into any walk in clinic , and they will help you. Those clinics are usually 100 baht per visit, and a real doctor sees you. Trust me, I have same issues as you so it isn't just parroting something that I read online. You are now going to get lot of replies how Benzos are super additive, so be prepared. You can always ask Mod to close the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemouse Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Also, there is a health sub forum here at TVF, you have better luck there. But juts walk into a clinic, not hospital, walk in clinic, there are several around 2nd Rd and Pattaya Tai Edited January 2, 2017 by whitemouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you're not completely right there bud. You can hop into Cambodia and get any Amabarbital there. To much messing about though.

moonseeker Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Are they still available somewhere over the counter¿ Have a friend of age, who is on a budget and spends too much to get something similar every month, you know at which hospital. Anybody pm me this would help this old guy very much. He is 76 and fully aware of the addiction part, but just can't get any sleep without. Thank you.

oswald18 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Actually, Diazepam is available in 5mg in Thailand, and, strangely, they come in different kinds. I even got mine from a walk-in clinic in the form of a green and white capsules...and they cost only 7 baht each. I actually take 2 capsules (10 mg) before bedtime and I can pretty much have a good sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Be aware that if you are found with the drugs and do not have a script you will be severely dealt with. The drug control laws in Thailand can be capriciously enforced, but there is zero tolerance. Play the self medication game at your own peril.

manxninja Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Never heard of anyone in Thailand, being charged for having diazepam. Just wouldn't personally bother with a prescription. They can help after a heavy night, but ive seen more than a few get addicted to them, my advice take in moderation for social use only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asianscouser Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 I buy or now refuse to pay for 1 mg Upjohn Xanax. They're not very strong. Maybe going cold turkey for a few week will or should give you the lift you desire. I've just had 1 4 mg clonazepam and feel great., bought from s pharmacy Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thai3 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 A somebody who first took valium in 1975 and xanax for a few years I would opt for Atarax these days, almost as good and far longer lasting than either, also over the counter and cheap, 25mg.

But if you can't sleep without it you will not worry about the cost too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
