Legal medications from the states and in Colombia

6 years ago

New guy here looking to get a few medication answers before I come down next month to take a good look.

I have a few meds I use for sleep that are considered controlled in U.S. Ambien or generic sometimes and Clonazapam for sleep, I may use Doxipin 25 mg that is a very old line antidepressant but it's used for sleep also. Maybe a Norco now and then for pain from a major injury. Now I had a Stem Cell Transplant 7 years ago and I can NOT get any vaccinations as it could kill me so I have to walk a fine line and Central and South America and supposed to be avoided but if I stay away from the coast I should be good, I just did 6 countries in Europe and trying to get more living in.

Question is if I come down with a 30 day supply or a bit more is it a problem ? first things first.

Thanks,
Rob
