Maybe they just wanted the Republican soldiers to be a bit more on the ball?

On another note, does anyone know whether modafinil e.g. Provigil is available anywhere OTC in Phnom Penh?
or available via prescription?
at least is it not a banned substance?
I would educate myself on the dangers of these worrying drugs and get onto a safer alternative a.s.a.p.nkg wrote:I have a couple of prescriptions dating back years, and I would like to buy more of the same in Phnom Penh if possible.
Generic Zoloft (sertraline)
Ritalin
Zoloft is just an anti-depressant a la Prozac - will this be available in PP pharmacies?
Ritalin I would expect to be a lot harder to get hold of, since it's a controlled drug in most countries. Would I need to visit a hospital or doctor to get hold of this? If the police catch me with prescription or non-prescription Ritalin, will I be spending my remaining years in a hell-hole Cambodian prison?
Would also be interested to know about the legal status and availability of Valium and Xanax.
Ive seen peoples brains and personalities decline badly on these drugs, including my mother
There are very strong herbal based anti-anxiety/anti-depressives and many of these herbs will knock you out at night if you are having trouble sleeping
You can also smoke or intake marijuana pretty freely here, which in studies has shown to have good anti-depressive effects and great results for a variety of health ailments, with minimal side effects
Okay, serious question.
I'm planning a trip to Thailand specifically just to go get ADHD meds (and bike parts ). I've been steadily upping my intake of caffeine to compensate for my lack of meds but at 12 cups of strong coffee a day, I worry about my health honestly. I know ADHD meds aren't what you'd call "light" drugs, but it works for me, and frankly coffee doesn't do nearly as much.
So, has anyone actually gone to Thailand for a "legal drug holiday" before? I plan to fly in, have a bite to eat, go to the hospital to see a psychiatrist, get a script and get the drugs, go to a bike shop and then fly back. Boring trip, but I'm seriously frustrated with my ADHD and am going insane trying to multitask. I usually just end up on here at random times during the day and then forget about what I was supposed to do, only to get an email about a moto which side tracks me more, to which I then reply to, only to find I forgot what I was originally doing.....you get the idea.
So please, if anyone's gone to Thailand before for ADHD meds to bring them back here (NOT FOR SALE!), then please chip in with your experience. I'll be forever grateful.
If I have to make a trip to Malaysia or Singapore, etc, then so be it as well.

Thailand has Ritalin, but no dexamphetamine.

Yeah that's probably not good for you, I'm a caffeine addict too, I used to take caffeine pills in Europe (like 1-2 100mg pills per day), I can't find them here,
do you know if they exists here?
If you need 12 cups of coffee a day, you should probably get your thyroid checked out. If you're hypothyroid it will make you exhausted, after taking OTC thyroid hormone you'll
have a lot more energy.

Partly correct, not available in pharmacies, but just ask a bus/truck/young moto driver or a working girl and they will hook you up with Yaba(sorry forgot the Khmer word) in the blink of an eye for a very reasonable price. Just take into consideration that the amount of the psychoactive substance is 3-8 higher then what pharmacies offer in the western world.mrs_carrot wrote:As of now, correct.

Yeah, he should much rather do cocaine, heroine, valium, amphetamines, ritalin, etc, that would be better. (caveat: joke, I think)cambod wrote:12 cups a day? Surely you've cut your life expectancy down by 20 years.

^^I'm doing better, I'm down to roughly 6 cups a day now. Just needed 3-4 cans of Red Bull to substitute and I'm doing great.
But just kidding, although I am on cup number 6 as of right now *sip*, my last one I swear.

Okay just had a 7th cup, I'm bad.
On a serious note though, for god's sake people, don't do the whole yaba thing as suggested earlier. Sure, Ritalin, Adderall, etc isn't exactly "great" stuff either for you, but getting into the other crap, especially here is just asking for trouble. Don't make our death toll thread climb and climb because of something stupid.
