I agree that limits are generally being trimmed everywhere. Online here in the UK, until very recently, you used to legally be able to buy 240mg of Codeine a day, with a month's supply, as the maximum dosage; so that would be 60 mg four times a day. That has now been dropped to half, so the maximum you can get is 120 mg a day with a month's supply over quite a number of sites. When I say a month, that varies and is often only 28 days, so if you take the full dose, you run out of meds regularly anyway. The site I was using says if you need any more you have to see your doctor; but as we all know, doctors also do not want to dispense anything like this anymore, or, like me, you get such high blood pressure when you go to see your doctor that it's something you try to avoid like the plague. One of the reasons for my reaction to visiting my GP is because it's almost impossible to see the same GP every time you go to a practice and each different one is always trying to fiddle around changing what the last one has prescribed, be it for migraine or pain or anything else. I recently found myself having to fight to stay on my migraine prescription, which was the result of months of trial and error with a previous doctor and which has left me almost migraine-free for years. Why fix it if it's not broken? No wonder I don't like going.
So going back to these UK sites, if you depend on them for your medication, you either choose to drop your dose or try to get by with fewer doses a day. This seems to be common to most of the pharmacies who were previously supplying the 240 mg level of medication - but I believe they are all serviced by the same pharmacy and as I cannot find a new country-wide regulation listed anywhere, I think this may be pharmacy-led. But I'm not at all sure.
As for benzos, my ex got really worked up and anxious earlier this year and went to his GP and begged, literally begged, for something to help him. He was given 3 diazepam tablets, of 2 mg each.....Honestly, if this is really because they fear being sued, I do not know what has become of us. What has happened to compassion and common sense?
Now we are going to be leaving Europe, I suspect getting any medication of this sort online will become a thing of the past so I guess I should enjoy my much-reduced dose while I still have it and stop moaning.

While we talk of stuff like benzos being really difficult to get prescribed,a well known national radio station is running a big thing about how benzos are being over-prescribed to lots of people (this week i think).
I must(and prob others) live in a parallel universe to all those thousands of people being over-prescribed meds,sounds like a lot of fear mongering by the media yet again.

I am from Gr@@ce europe and sometimes I consider my self lucky I can still have pain meds online from a uk online pharmacy.
In here all these drugs are imposible to find or hard to Rx. And UK sources are the last ones I can find DHC which is impossible to find in the rest of world and I need it to fill my supply when I am out of stock from other pain meds. It is herder to get now days a good supply of pills enough to last for a month needs so you need to constantly check with multiple sources. Europe is a less privilege place to find pain meds .Usa guys have many options from us to us ventors and they also have mexican sources. Life is not always fare.

Ok do not click the GP informing button if you are a UK resident thats for sure. The problem with them is they keep the customer info in a data bank linked with other uk pharmacies and they monitor all customer details and keep this info for a long time . From a friend I know that they ban all orders in excess of their limit from other uk sources and that is the case for DHC. They also banned Trams for UK residents and unfortunately give data to other goventment sources if asked so . My humble advice is dont go far with orders with WP and other legit UK IOP's . You must have a plan . And have mostly other sources. I know that because they were the only source for DHC I had and I was blacklisted for a period of time from them. There is always this problem with EU vent@rs they are few with restricted variety and always one has to be open minded if he wants something more .

I have been reading into this do the online pharmacies mentioned check my real medical records or do they check the details which I supply as I am abit confused by this process.
Also I was considering on making an order but if they do check my GP Surgerys records then I need not bother.
I am a U.K. Resident and am in extremely bad pain and would like more supply.
I would appreciate any response thanks Steven

Looks like the days of legally ordering dee ache sea are coming to an end in the UK,recieved email from the white site saying they cannot prescribe/sell it due to quality control stopping them,i expect other sites based in the UK that were doing the same will no longer be able to sell it either.
I thought it would come to an end at some point,sad for those who need those meds.
It is Well with My Soul
