Benzos UK

[Richard Langford]

It seems to be increasingly common to get these online in the UK by Private Prescription. Rather than go to your own GP you go to an online Chemist, answer a few questions and they get reviewed by a Dr. Anyone gone down this street? Just wondering. It appears to be easy.

I got antiemetics by this route. Not tried benzos. Not sure why as I need them for sn protocol. Maybe because I'm trying to recover with sn as a plan b and I have a very addictive personality so I'd probably use them just to manage overwhelm. But would be interested if others have got them this way and why they said they needed them (I said I needed ae for migraines cos I couldn't take my migraine meds while on sertraline.). Id be worried that they'd notify my GP if it was benzos tho.

I was thinking of saying anxiety and a short-term difficulty sleeping. Actually not untrue.

I think for me one of the factors is if they'd tell your GP. For the antiemetics there was an option to not tell my GP but benzos might be different. And that would be awkward cos I'm under the care of secondary mental health services so my GP would query it and notify my MH worker.

I'm interested in hearing from someone who has ordered online. I wonder if it goes on your medical record so GP can see that they were prescribed?
I tried to get benzos from my psychiatrist but he point blank refused me.

Just thought I'd bounce this for any Brits out there to see it.

Yes. I obtained diazepam through this route. Most benzo that are obtainable online are sleep medications instead of treatment for mental health issues. Prescribers online cannot access your NHS GP records.

I just did a brief look at UK online pharmacies and very few have diazepam, and those that do want a prescription from your GP. Looks like the legal route and not involving your GP or mental health team is a dead end. Happy to be corrected.
Also sadly think mental health team and GP are a non-starter for me because NHS says not to be given to people with a personality disorder and EUPD is on my GP notes as well as MH team.

Can I ask how long ago? I'm having no luck with the ones I looked at just now, including the one I got my antiemetics - but I know that pharmacy got done ages ago for dishing out loads of inappropriate meds, opiates I think.

Any chance of sharing which pharmacy you got it from? No problem if you don't feel like sharing. I know today is a big day for you and I feel bad for asking in these circumstances. xxxx

Do they notify your GP if you order it through an online chemist?

If you're using them for this would that be an issue you'd have to worry about?

Good point! I guess I'm just a bit worried about welfare checks and stuff like that
