Need Dr. in Dumaguete that can write script for Zolpidem

It is not that surprising. The rule stems from the Philippines wanting to avoid the opioid problems that has plagued the rest of Asia for centuries and, more recently, the Western world. While their laws may be Draconian, a severe over-correction and have serious implications for patient end-of-life/post surgery comfort, they do serve a purpose and it is hard to argue that they didn't achieve the goals they set out to achieve.

I believe there are two types of prescription pads in the Philippines; a white one and a pink/red(?) one. You would be looking for a doctor that has the pink/red one and they are going to be few and far between, for obvious reasons. I can't help you with this but I wish you the best.

Btw, if you are suffering from insomnia the best course of action is likely a change of lifestyle/habits...not drugs, which can become addictive or make you reliant on them for sleep (I suffered from insomnia a long time ago. Turned out that I had some really bad habits that were keeping me up at night). Perhaps a bit of reflection on some bad/ unhealthy habits or underlying mental health issues could better, and more permanently, address the issue.

 

I am aware. If it isn't controlled via a pink prescription pad then it shouldn't be that hard to find a doctor that can prescribe. Finding a pharmacy that carries it may be the issue. I'm really not sure. A local doctor may be able to point you in the right direction or give you a reference to another doctor.

 

Yeah, Ambien is a horrible sleeping drug. I was on it a long time ago and said several things I was completely unaware of until the next day when everyone was furious with me. Broke up with my gf one time while on it, then couldn't figure out what crawled up her *ss the next morning when I called her. There are many stories of people hopping in a car and driving off while on it. It is better to change your bad habits/lifestyle than to rely on sleeping pills.
