Pharmacys in India
I usually like to purchase a few Xanax for my long flights. I am also prescribed Phentermine for weight loss but they are very expensive in the US. Does anyone know if I can purchase these meds without a prescription in India?

Xanax and flying are not a good idea at all, as the effects of most meds that you take are accentuated when flying. By " a few" I just wonder how many you ae talking about!
If you are taking these drugs on prescription?, then why don't you bring them with you instead if you really have to? At least enough to get by with until you find a supply. You may possibly not be able to get exactly the same drug as you are now taking, but a generic version may be possible. As for the weightloss drugs, why don't you try to give your body a rest and simply cut down on the amount of carbs you eat? Years ago I was taking meds and only now do I realise how much I actually missed seeing and experiencing because I was so affected by the meds I was taking - for the past decade I've been free of restrictions such as prescription drugs - India is so beautiful, so vast, so tragic......let the meds alone - take herbal stuff instead (there's a mass of herbal meds that tranquilize if you need that- I can tell you some if you like - I do tend to rely much more onb herbal preps than the dratted chemical s**t)that won't mist your vision and enjoy the wonders of this Land. |
