Buying prescription drugs in Argentina

[Punter 127]

Dogg, I don't know if you can get it in BsAs but I went from Ambien to Lunesta and found it works better for me. I work a lot of nights and have to sleep during the day, so I've tried a lot of sleep products but Lunesta works best for me.

Halicon is what I get when I go to the dentist. They demand on keeping a heart monitor on for the procedure.

I would be careful with that one, its powerful.

I have serious insomnia when I am in BA, not so much elsewhere. Must be the water.

Why would you ask that question of a bunch of mongers, most of whom have some kind of death wish, and many of whom are strung out on pussy, booze, cigarettes, and god knows what?

"Unisom" = "Sominex" = doxylamine = nothing of any consequence so if you try anything like Ambien or Xanax and you really have severe insomnia, you could easily get habituated, addicted, or even strung out.

Insomnia is a pretty serious and complex medical condition from which I, too, have suffered for years, although mine is (thankfully) intermittent. I used to be dead set against taking anything for it. Now, if I have trouble three nights in a row, I use Ambien in a low dose (half a pill) but I never allow myself to take it two nights in a row. The issue I have with Ambien is I always wake up after five hours, six at most. The answer is the time-release Ambien but that is unavailable in Argentina as far as I know. Plus you can't split or divide time-release pills with reliable results.

For "knock out drops," like for sleeping on planes or if your roommate brings home a real loud, moaning screamer, I like 1/3 of an Ambien plus a low dose of Xanax, maybe 0.3 mg. I weigh 72 kg so adjust your dose for that.

But if you have insomnia all the time, you need a different solution. In my case if I use drugs I can break the cycle. No sleeping pill is safe for "regular consumption" in my opinion. Look at exercise, look at your mattress. One thing I espouse as doctrine is: never do anything in bed except fuck or sleep. Don't read in bed, don't eat in bed, don't talk on the phone in bed, and especially don't watch TV in bed. Don't even have a TV in your bedroom.

Insomnia is terrible and I have it right now or I would not be posting. What really helps me is regular marijuana use but the weed here really sucks so it's hard to motivate myself to find it. In fact my insomnia first appeared as a serious issue when I found myself stuck with a job in small town rural America and no weed to be had.

A friend with weed is a friend indeed!

Agreed, it can be a bear of a problem and decent sleep is essential. I have it sporadically, and use medicine infrequently, but when I really need to sleep I want the meds on hand. In my experience the non addictive meds are close to useless (no surprise there) I use Ambien at 10mg, and I have used Restoril at 15mg. Those are "normal" doses for most people. On the other hand, if I want to insure that I sleep well, and decrease the chance of waking up in the middle of the night, I'll go with Xanax, or better yet, Klonopin. Klonopin is the only thing that works at all for me on a plane. All of these meds are addictive with Xanax and Klonopin very addictive, though the risk factor involves the individual as well. Another med to consider is Halcion. A pretty effective sleeper that got a bad rap after the elder Bush took a header, or puked, or whatever, while using it in Japan years ago. At the right dose it is effective and not any more dangerous than the meds mentioned above.

I wouldn't have been in dire need of a sleeper recently but Daddy Rulz apparently got into my luggage on a recent flight out of NYC and swiped all my meds and toiletries.

[Skifozo]

Which one is a good sleeping pill that is not too strong or addictive for regular consumption, as I have insomnia frequently.

I use extra strength Unisom back in Canada

[Admin05]

I don't think you can get XR version of Ambien here. I tried several times.

[El Perro]

Did you ask for the english speaking pharmacist? The other goons won't go for it.

I picked up some Sumenan (name in AR for Zolpediem aka Ambien) from there yesterday, along with some vitamin V. Nothing but smiles.

In hindsight I need to go back anyways to see if they have the XR version. Ill try tomorrow.

Thanks GH! That's what I wanted to hear. As I remember it was some new little squirt I had never seen before who waited on me. I'll go back and demand my Ambien and see if I can score some Oxycontin to go along with it.

I made a trip to the usually reliable Farmacia Azul on Cordoba today to replenish my sleeping pill supply. I've never had a problem getting the local version of Ambien without a script. Not so today, as I was offerred some of that Melatonin shit instead and told that, indeed, I would need a script for Ambien. Bad news.

Please post if you have a pharmacy where you don't need a script for this or benzos.

To add insult to injury, I asked an attractive MD with Swiss Medical today for a strong sleeper to go along with my antibiotic and she not only said "no", she LAUGHED at me! WTF? Must be time to further cut the locks and work on a less drug addicted "look".

[Sigprn]

My advice when at the pharmacy is to purchase gador alprazolam 2mg. Its the Strongest xanax I have ever taken. I get them sent here to the U. S. By a email only source out of argentina. If pharmacy doesn't have gador (manufacturer) ask about denver alprazolam 2mg. Ask for Alplax Gador at pharmacy. Its my understanding benzo's are over the counter in Argentina. Also if you prefer valium 10mg ask for Fabotranil Fabop x 10mg . You guys are rite on the viagra. I checked his price list he wasn't serious money for those. 30 50mg tabs 140.00 dollars. For pain in argentina don't think available over the counter ask for Voltaren Forte or oxy forte which is 50mg and 50mg Codeine+Diclofenac.

[El Perro]

Checked out Farmacia Azul today to stock up on script drugs prior to leaving BA. Very impressive place, professional staff, quick, easy, in and out in less than 15 minutes with everything I wanted. Paid about 60p for stuff that would easily have been $140-150US or more. A great resource for residents and visitors. On Cordoba between Florida and San Martin. When walking to catch my bus back I was stopped by a very sexy chick cop who asked a question in castellano. I met her big smile with my own, but alas my castellano skills are very limited. I'd like to fuck a chick cop with at least part of her uniform on. Thomaso, what's that like?

[Thomaso276]

Dog: you should have done what I do - buy out the whole stock becasue next time they may not have them!

[El Perro]

As advised by Thomaso I checked out a small pharmacy and after being offered the usual small packets of Mylanta or whatever, I mentioned Tums. Voila! A bottle of nice little Tums.

[AllIWantIsLove]

If you are having reflux problems, I take ranitidine (the generic form of Zantac) and I know that it is available in Argentina. But unlike Tums you should take it before eating. But please, if you are inclined to try ranitidine do a web search and read up on it so that you are familiar with proper usage and side effects etc.

Bob.

Does anybody know where to find some TUMS, or the equivalent? So far, all I've seen are small packages of Myalanta (sp) I'm looking for the over the counter bottle we can pick up anywhere in the states. My bottle didn't quite make it a year. Muchas gracias.

[Thomaso276]

Some of the independent pharmacies carry tums in the small plastic container (24 or 36? As with many things here inventory is not consistent. I have bought them but cannot give you specific locations. Not cheap either.
