hello everyone,
I have been on lormetazepam (a type of benzodiazepines) for a period of time for sleep problem and anxiety. The fact is that the medication I take is produced only in Europe (it's not like valium, which you can find everywhere). Now I have to move to Saudi and I need to bring several boxes of it 'cause I obviously cannot fly to my place every time I have to buy one bottle (they are drops). So now I am quite scared. I can ask my doctor to write me a prescription which explains my medical situation and that I need one small bottle a week (so I have stored now about forty bottles for about 40 weeks). But I am terrified to be sent to prison for this. I cannot be without this medication, at least for the time being. Besides I am using eutirox for thyroid problems. Do you think I can bring it in without problems? I have been abroad for long, and I usually when I go back to my place I buy and bring several OTC medication like paracetamol, Gaviscon, Nexium (I have acid reflux) or some generic antibiotics in case of need … do you think I can bring them? It makes me feel more comfortable to know that I have with me the medications I could need. But the most important question is obviously about lormetazepam. caould you help me?
Lormetazepam in saudi arabia
Why don't you try to submit the doctor prescription and the medicine [a sample box] to the Saudi Embassy in your country and take an approval from there?
Give a try and land safe.
thank you very much for your reply, I hadn't thought about that! Thank you
