Meds and stuff (Canadian question)

Posted by AJ88 on November 27, 2016, at 18:22:00

Hello,

I've been living in the the United States for well over twenty years. I have a diagnosis of panic disorder without agoraphobia, major depression, and generalized anxiety disorder.

My company has offered me a rather lucrative job opportunity, but it would require a job transfer to Ontario. I really want to take it, but I'm extremely concerned about finding a psychiatrist there and not having to switch up my meds. I currently take Effexor 150 MG and diazepam 15 MG daily. I have been on both for many years with no escalation in dose or issues. They work quite well for me.

How difficult is it going to be to continue taking these meds and to get care in Canada? I am a Canadian citizen, so I would have insurance 3 months after arrival. Normally I would just fly home every four months and get my meds and see my PDOC here until I found someone in Toronto. That being said, you can't do that because importing RXs from the US is illegal, and I'm sure the diazepam could cause issues. I'm at a loss. I seriously may not be able to relocate because of this.

Any feedback from Canadians or someone who has gone through this would be appreciated.

AJ

I'm a canadian! I think your meds are on the aproved list in canada. So you should be able to get them. I went across the border with my meds a few years ago and no problems at the border. I wasn't taking anything controled though. You could always look on line or call canada customs.
