"Purple oval" sounds like 1mg Xanax. They are very effective; in fact, half of one will do. However, it is illegal to purchase them without a prescription. Buying them from a chemist without a prescription is risky.Originally Posted by giggsy
Or, maybe it was some other drug.
Better not have any on your person if you get searched by the BIB at Ekamai Bus Terminal or elsewhere...
There are several brand names but the drug is alprazolam. It is widely available from the mom and pop Rx shops "under the counter."
Xanax does the trick nicely on long flights, though I get a bit of a hang over next morning. You could also try Imovane 7.5mg (zopiclone) my doctor prefers giving me these, also I find the day after side effects a bit better.
My doctor gave me a few samples of Ambien, extended release. Worked like a dream.
I think you are talking about over the counter doxylamine succinate --brand name unisom. Also, works good for jet lag,I buy them in the states.
Why not if they can be bought in many pharmacists in Thailand?

When you buy them "under the counter" you don't get a label with a doctor's name on it. So, you are in illegal possession of a restricted drug. This also applies to Viagra et al. The fact that you can buy it doesn't make it legal.
And yes, the Ekamai bus terminal is the #1 place to get searched.

Perfectly respectable businesses like pharmacies sell drugs illegally. No wonder the police are so corrupt, end to end, side to side, top to bottom. The whole place is one interwoven scam.Why not if they can be bought in many pharmacists in Thailand?
