Customs at the airport hardly ever check passengers baggage. That's nothing to worry about. Just walk through green lane.

Hello
I have been able to buy Convulsil 2mg at the pharmacy to help with sleep.
Couldn't say about the convulsions

I am italian too and I live in Thailand. I often carry my medicines from Italy. The best is to transfer the blisters in few boxes normally are bigger and can hold more.
Then you put them in your check-in luggage between garments and pass the Green channel at arrival in Bangkok, better if you wait a group of passengers to move together.
Very rare that they stop and check....

You can get, easily, your drugs in the public hospital, just pick your passport, especially for anticonvulsants than, everywhere in the world, are subject to very strict protocols

It's not so easy for a first time comer to get to a different system in a foreign hospital where they even charge you much more than Thai citizens to make the queue access and the preliminary visit with a doctor that don't know him and obtain the prescription and not sure to get the same brand and composition he is used to take that can make a big difference.
If he already has his own original medicines which are free of charge in Italy given by his free of charge family doctor that knows him well, enough for covering the 2-3 month stay in Thailand, it's much better and easier to carry them with him (just 3 or 4 little box considering that each box contains 30 pills). A personal use in limited quantity is not a problem.

you should always carry a prescription of your medicine ........translated in english if needed
