I’m going to be traveling to multiple countries in the next year or two to spend a month at least there, visit many doctors and see what the scene is like. Colombia is currently #1 on my list and the first place I plan to travel to for these sorts of medical tourism.

I did already visit one locale of Mexico for this purpose but it was too rural and the pharmacies would not sell even codiene OTC which was dissatisfying….although Xanax was sold OTC, but I don’t need Xanax.

I do have connections and family in Mexico so it’s less foreign to me, but Columbia sounds more advanced in terms of non pain specialist care I will also need. We’ll see

Definitely not moving without having spent time there for a good while first.

mate benzos and oxys and stimulant medication is damm near impossible in Colombia without script.
not much supply and not things used by Colombians.

hydrocodone and codeine strongest things available.
Lyrica and gabapentin if nerve pain.

Having to get a script for opioids is fine.
My friend that lives there says he buys hydrocodone without a script at the pharmacy…but he could be confused with codiene because he’s not a drug person

The question is are the doctors free to prescribe it without going to prison like in the US? Are they willing to prescribe it?

nah hes not confused. Hydrocodone is OTC.

im sure you could find docs that will but they don't do it willingly. like I said there just isn't the culture here for those things.
 
I personally don't think Mexico is a good idea. They are totally inundated with a glut of Fentanyl. Their pharmacies are well-known for selling counterfeit medications. For instance, "Adderall" (Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine) can be bought at many pharmacies, though they are generally Methamphetamine. Likewise, I could easily see the cartels selling "OC's" that contain Fentanyl.

If you're going to make a big move, I would listen to these guys and go further south. I have always heard good things about Peru regarding drug availability. Hell, if Hydrocodone (Vicodin; Lortab) is indeed OTC in Colombia, then that pretty much solves your problem. Even if it's a combination product containing APAP/Acetaminophen/Paracetamol, you can very easily separate the Hydrocodone from the latter. Hydrocodone should be enough to handle your issues at the right dose.

I lived in Cambodia for a while. I also lived in Iraqi-Kurdistan for a bit when I was still teaching English. Just to give you a frame of reference: In Cambodia, Heroin was readily available and very cheap. At that time, maybe 10 years ago, you could buy Opioid pills like Oxycontin in certain pharmacies. I am not sure what the deal is now, though I doubt it's still that liberal. Iraq, also a lot of Heroin. The pharmacies would sell Benzodiazepines/Methylphenidate/Pregabalin etc. though they would not hand out anything stronger than Codeine without a script.

If you found the right doctor, he would prescribe you anything though. I ended up finding a guy in Iraq whose medical practice also had its own dispensary. I'd tell him what I wanted, he would tell me how much I owed, then I would walk out with the drugs. I actually never asked for Opioids because Heroin was already available and cheap, though I am sure they could be obtained. In the middle east and southeast asia as well, there is a fairly well-established culture surrounding Opium as a legitimate medicine.

You meet a lot of older folks who just seem to use Opium as a default as their bodies start causing them pain. The ready availability of Opium makes the other Opiates easy to come by.

In closing, I don't think Mexico is where you want to go. They are just as embroiled in Fentanyl as we are.
 
If you do speak Spanish fluently and you work remotely, you could think of Spain itself. Its NHS is very good and free for the most part, appart of the NHS you of course have private specialist in every field. Doctors aren't afraid of prescribing what they honestly think they should prescribe. On the other hand, Spain is an euro country, so no pill mills, no otc stuff, no dogdy pharmacies and very unlike to find a doctor willing to prescribe for a bribe

The end of our days is exactly what I would not bank anything on.

Do you want to be strapped to a bed screaming in agony in a country where euthanasia and opioids are illegal?

That’s the worst possible outcome of all of this. I’d rather swallow a bullet (which is illegal too, fuck the USA) than go into hospice care in America

Luckily I can buy 30 military grade assault rifles with zero license or credentials which is the most compassionate end of life medical care available in the US. But OTC codiene? Too dangerous. Fuck this stupid . **** the reasoning behind all of these things is political.****

I have to say I have considered the same. And I was told I have maybe 1-2 years left to live. Not sure living in this country is the best. I was on all the "good " pain killers. And now on something strong but my doctor warned me she may not have the ability to prescribe soon. And I don't want to be dying and in pain. I have spent close to 35 years in pain. It's finally got to the point that my genetic disease has become terminal. It's a painful end. I don't blame you one bit. I used to be able to get dosage that helped. Now I am struggling to get enough to help..
If you do move and it helps please update. If you have and I have missed it let me know. I wish you well. Chronic pain is the devil. And I hate it and I don't wish it on anyone. But maybe I wish it upon the government here that decided we were all bad people and don't deserve pain relief.

Hi I was wondering if anyone living in Mexico can give me insight on opioid prescribing for chronic pain in Mexico.

I am planning to leave the US permanently since opioids are essentially banned here for chronic pain now. To give you an idea I live in a city of 3 million people and only 3 pain specialists remain that have not had their schedule 2 license stripped.

Pharmacies all refuse to fill opioids. Doctors all refuse to prescribe them.

Anyways I have a permanent health issue and I’m getting older and I’ve decided it’s worth leaving everything I’ve built behind for freedom that America promised but didn’t deliver.

Are acquiring opioid prescriptions difficult in Mexico? Are the doctors in fear of the government imprisoning them for prescribing like in the US?

Do the pharmacies always have shortages like in the US?

In sum, is it extremely strict and policed? The prescribing of opioids for pain in Mexico?

I understand Mexico is a big place with different states and different levels of urban vs rural development, any geographical insight you can offer in regards to this issue is also greatly appreciated.

I also need access to a specialist for something else that isn’t a pain doctor, so I would have to be near a major city to access specialist doctors…not just prescribing doctors.

I’ve visited and spent a lot of time in Merida and Cancun and more recently Baja. Baja seems too rural but Cancun and Merida are appealing. Any insight at all as to any part of the country and this issue are appreciated

Feel free to PM me also.

Funny you can get meth and fentanyl but not legit legally prescribed pain killers? You'll love Mexico, especially after being kidnapped for ranson.

I will have to check which Cartels are active in those areas; so your family will be able to use them as a middle man( so to speak). So you'll get a proper burial, after they take the Ransom money and torture you to death.

Hola gringo rico. Vienes con nosotros, Americanos blancos ricos.( then the sound of rounds being chambered in machine guns. Masked men in a van and even the cops might be in on it.
Duct taped to a chair for weeks or months till they kill you).

Make sure to pack your safety whistle and check pepper spray laws and restrictions; they vary by state. Are you out of your mind?

Check, Costa Rica and Panama. Also what about Canada? Also check Roatan Island 100 miles off Honduras. It is safe. Also check out expatriate and tourist areas of Belize. But check travel warnings first. Check and see what countries in the Caribbean are safe and find out about prescription drug laws and availability,
Also pharmacy policies in these countries.

Or go and remember, they like to kidnap rich, white, middle aged Americans, so nothing to worry about in Mexico. lol

This is the left at their finest. No help for the productive people who need real pain relief but fentanyl is practically legal. Check another city or State.

How can they do that, it is issued by the DEA.( strip schedule 2 license, never heard of that. A DEA number covers all, except, chemo( special license and used to be suboxone and a few other specialty things. The DEA issues them).
I had an oral surgeon prescribed me percocets. State can take a medical license in general. Nice, stings on doctors while illegal drugs get sold and used in the open.

They are for all scheduled and unscheduled drugs except the ones I listed unless they got busted and lost their license in general, I was told by a doctor, I know. There was no special schedule 2 license unless they changed it for pain doctors. Or have the Democrats come up with a special license for pain management doctors? Also what is your states morphine equivalent limit? Check the internet for best states for pain patients.


You will have to move there alone if you value your wife's safety. Why not Canada? Yeah it is cold, buy a down filled parka.

Obama declared the war on opiods. Don't care which party. Would be as pissed if a republican did it.

You have entered the 2nd phase of TDS.
Biden Made in worse, I am a pain patient I keep track of this. Lol
Wow you are absolutely clueless about the opiod war and who started it. Typical of someone who assumes they know it all and is clueless. Oh I am sorry which republican was president in 2015? LMAO

You beat the shit out of that ghost, man. Good on you.
 
I'd be very careful buying from pharmacies in Mexico; allot of them have been taken over by cartels who force them to sell their counterfeit meds under threat of death. They even have them all packaged and bottled up to look like legit products.

yeah, politic left has always been the trailblazer of prohibition. Like Reagan and Nixon, famous leftist politicians.

Honestly, I doubt you could blame leftist politicians for anything in the USA, because they are almost non-existent in the first place.

you don't know his real agenda and he realized his Marxist beliefs weren't going to fly over here. So he had to keep himself moderate and he was a teleprompter reading lazy pragmatic stooge. Besides he was The President of a huge country and not some tiny insignificant little European socialist, country. ( ones with less than 10 million people)
 
Obama is a marxist?? Wow¡!... wasn't he a muslim radical cause he was called Hussein, too?
When I see people like Obama, Clinton, etc., being called lefties, socialist and so on, I can't help but wonder how would they call euro left wing parties (and they are faaar from being real socialists)

Republicans don't talk about individual European parties because it would make it obvious how insane they are. They also don't have the intellectual capabilities to analyze the differences. Since William F Buckley died the GOP is really flailing in terms of having an intellectual direction.

It's easier to just say "They took errr jerbs!" and "Obama is a Kenyan Marxist!" without actually knowing the definition of any of those words. I very much doubt the average R(acist) could point to Kenya on a map.

Yes they were, feminists were the driving force behind prohition. Those ugly old hags were responsible it and it helped the Sicilian Mafia ( La Costa Nostra, become huge) and the Kennedy's are rich because it also.

Also Liberal leftist Democrat Woodrow Wilson was President and Signed The Harrison Narcotics Tax act of 1914, which started drug prohibition.

Don't tell me my countries history, you are a Finnish commie who sponges off welfare. You don't know my countries history like I do. You know leftist talking points; that is all.

Please go back to wallowing in self pity and stop talking about stuff you don't know. Pretty please with drugs on top, learn the origins before making statements about a country you do not know.
 
I am not familiar with US politics and politicians, but I allways wondered why do you have only two parties to chosse between. Why? Is there any historical reason? Also in UK is usually about tories versus laboralist, but I know that there are another parties there, like liberals or the Nigel Farage one


Another question, if you US mates don't mind me asking: Do other parties, in the left or the right spectrum, beyond Reps and Dems exist? I mean, they do legally exist? are they allowed to call demostrations, if they have headquarters and all those things that legal political parties have?

Would a person be allowed to create a, say, Oregon secesionist party, or a fascist or a communist one? Would it be possible according to US laws?
