I Will Be Travelling From The Us To Europe & Need To Know How To Get My Methadone In Europe! (Page 2) (Top voted first)

My California clinic only gives me 2 wk take-homes even tho I was referred by my oncologist for pain, although US regs allow one month take homes. Don't know yet whether I will be able to get them or not. I plan a trip to Europe next year (I would like to visit France, Italy, England and Malta) and am very worried about how to get my prescription overseas. I have heard that you only have to go through customs once in Europe & have read that the UK allows up to a 3-month supply to be brought in. I need to go to France to get my lend/lease car but should I go to England first with whatever I can get from my home clinic and make arrangements to pay a private GP to prescribe me enough to last my trip - 5-6 weeks? Or is that possible in France? I want to do this totally legally but seem to run into roadblocks everywhere!!! Can someone PLEASE help? This is my dream trip and I have to figure SOMETHING out! It is incredible to me that no one in my clinic has any knowledge about this, but it is true.

Hi..I am from Serbia and i also have a same problem, i want to go to Germany to work and i am trying to find a clinics that will give me a Methadone. I am on a 120 drops and here in Serbia they also give for two weeks to take. My doctor told me that i can continue a treatment in a foreign country, but i must go there at least 10 days earlier so that everything would be all right. One more thing, you can get Methadone only in the town where there is a clinic, and with valid papers from your clinic. I need a info about clinics in Germany, Belgium, Denmark...if anyone knows? Thanks

Hello, I have a question: people are saying that if I carry a Methadone in glass bottle it can brake due to pressure in aeroplane, and to take a plastic bottla, do you have some experience with this?

Okay I do know about this. I want a return trip to london. im on methadone. you can take it into the UK but you have to stay less than 28 days. if you stay more you need a license from the airport. I gotta look up the name but their consulate should have it or ask the airport. they check bags from holland to UK and according to my friend in leeds it's a serious offense to sell or import it. she's right about one but if you're staying less than 28 days you just need doctor's proof and bottles with the script on it. France is a different ball game. I went there as a kid and cannes is like entering saudi arabia. im not sure on that country and I spoke a little spanish there cuz EVERYONE speaks french and their border will be more strict so I'm not sure. But yeah if your trip is only a few weeks and you take under 500mgs. im on a 55 dose, not sure what yours is.

Hi Jo.. I am shocked that no one knows the answer to your question.. First off, take a breath and don't panic.. I have an up to date website for you that will tell you everything you need to know (Indro-online.de). The good news is Most of Europe allows you to bring your Methadone with you. The only thing you need to do is go to the Country listed on the site and you will get all of the information you need..Please don't listen to people who tell you to put any drugs you have where the sun don't shine. You get caught doing that you will go to prison.. You have nothing to worry about.. Even if you don't get all of the methadone you need from your doctor all of the countries you are going to have clinics, you just have to let them know ahead of time concerning courtesy dosing.. Have fun on your vacation

Trust me, before you travel get a doctors letter/certificate saying how much you take then all you have to do is hunt down the right clinics in Scotland it's the CDPS and if you're honest with them and you'll get what you need . I done it from here to Russia . Although every country has different ratios when mixing it 10mls to 100mls etc so in one country you might get 100mls a day and in another only 50 but they equate to the same. Just make sure that you can prove that you are prescribed it legally in your own country.

Hey, man,
My name is Dimitar, from Sofia, Bulgaria.
If you get to my parts of the plane I'll hook you up with methadone from my clinic.
It goes without saying i got a lady pharmacist for Valium, Oxycontin / Oxycodone.
P.S. I'm a patient, not a doctor. Although we are the better doctors,right?
