dubyadee Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I recently went over to the pharmacies over by Nana and Asok and walked into at least 10 or so asking for sleeping pills like Xanax. I got a "no have, sorry" from each. Not long ago it was super easy to get them. Something change recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeahSiam Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) "Recently"? Try "years ago" Only get it at hospitals with a scrip now Edited January 28, 2017 by Sheryl Description of illegal activity removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Moved to health forum. It is completely illegal to get Xanax and similar drugs other than at a hospital pharmacy, has been for some years. Illegal for both buyer and seller. Same is true for Zolpidem etc, but you can get Atarax over the counter which works well for sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffaarraanngg Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Atarax makes you feel rotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechboy Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I got some amitriptyline without prescription a couple of months ago. Like atarax it is an anti-depressant primarily meant for long term use. But is is a very good sleep inducer when used on an occasional basis. A little afters, but not too bad.

Sheryl Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Atarax is not an anti-depressent and indeed would likely worsen depression. It is an antihistamine and minor tranquilizer. Works well for some people, not as well for others. It does not make most people feel "rotten", but it can do this is some people. This variation in response is true of most sleep aids. It should not be taken regularly on long term basis for sleep, there is no data on the safety of that. But fine for occasional use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manarak Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 what is anyone's experience with walking into a doctor's practice and saying you need sleeping pills? Do they easily make a script? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Doctors with practices outside of hospitals often do not stock these (though it does vary with the doctor). If you see a doctor at the outpatient section of a hospital, you will usually get medication but in small quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechboy Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 "Atarax is not an anti-depressent and indeed would likely worsen depression." Yes. Of course, I got some for itchy skin once ..... antihistamine. No afters and used it for one week. It was useful. Used moderate alcohol at the time and was sleepy. Nb. "depressant."

oswald18 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I used to visit a medical clinic in Sukhumvit 71 where I was able to buy Diazepam 5 mg for my sleeping problem. But that is after a check-up and interview with their doctor each time I refill, and only allowed to buy about 20 to 30 pills each time. Thankfully, my sleeping problem eventually went away after working on regular time (9am to 6 pm) at the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
