Is anyone on here not on meds?

The hospital here has never given me a piece of paper, I have never asked. My name and details are on the label on the plastic packet. However, after a year or so being carried around the packet splits and I swap to a new packet. If challenged I'd have nothing to prove the prescription.
When I lived in Dubai the embassies, the US embassy in particular, issued several warnings. Even with a prescription, people including transit passengers were being detained. It was straightforward, possession alone was the offence and four years inside was the standard punishment. A prescription was no defence. There were about 200 fairly standard prescription medicines on the list at that time. The embassies spent a lot of time trying to get people out of jail. I don't know if times have changed, personally I wouldn't carry anything even on a transit flight.

Honestly, I never realized that it was an issue here. The doctors never said anything. Just another prescription medicine, I have never researched Class whatevers.
TBH, I don't understand the problem. When I have back spasm I take a tab and it usually subsides overnight. I sleep well and am drowsy half the next day. Do other people get some kind of hit off this stuff?

Just diazepam when flying or to take the edge of a serious bevvying. Allapurinol for the gout, colchice for the gout , Viagra/ kamara jelly/ sidagra just for recreation .... fantastic stuff but once I took a Viagra and didn't swallow it quick enough and got a stiff neck.

I think that belongs in the quick jokes thread.

Fair enough - years ago it was easy to buy at a pharmacy in many countries, especially Thailand. Many years ago, I once flew from Bkk to LHR with a lot and no doctors note, but that was really stupid (it was for personal use/convenience rather than going to a UK doctor), and upon reflection haven't done so again.


I'd say over the last 10-15 years traveling with xanax/iazis has been a risk - it's a controlled drug that's prescription only (just about everywhere nowadays). I find it great for traveling generally, but it is a recreational drug, especially when mixed with alcohol.

I would not want to be caught with it in an airport (or by a police/immigration check) in Bali, the Middle east, China, etc without a doctor's note.

Yeah.

To be fair, there's been a few Thai minivan trips over the years that I would not have made without diazis/xanax. And, as you said, they really help to take the edge of a hangover - take a couple, have a shower, a cup of coffee and some sugar then the day becomes much easier...

And throw in a Viagra. What can possibly go wrong

The doc thinks I need xanax to sleep so continues to prescribe.

900grams of the fuckers in the pantry... with another 60 prescribed next week.

Indeed.

No longer considered a house wife drug these days . Pretty hard to get a doc in Australia to prescribe them though. Hence I buy about 10 or so prior to leaving Asia. Next time I think I will make sure got a doctors note or something.

Pretty sure you mean milligrams. Otherwise you'd be dead.

I'm pretty sure he means 900 g. He said the doc keeps prescribing them and he just keeps them saved in the pantry.

The largest xanax tablet is 2 mg. 900 g at that dose would be 450,000 pills. He either has a very large pantry, or you're wrong. Which is it?

How much does a 2mg xanax pill weigh ?

To be googled

I smell a compromize here

Who's back peddling Sympl? I find an Aussie and a Canuk arguing over Betty's sweets hilarious. What makes it better is you chiming in at 2am. Am I likely to see a lot of Sympl posts when I wake up?

My first trip to Thailand, I spent a few days on Samui. I remember stopping in at pharmacy that had a plastic gallon jug, filled with blue Valium. 2 baht each.
