Greetings to all!

Traveling to Mexico this weekend (Tijuana), and I want advice/clarification as best you folks can do. I understand your opinions are not legal opinions!

I have several US scripts: ambien, Zoloft, protonix, soma, flexeril, neurontin, lorazepam, and depo tetstosterone (which I know may be a problem!) I have a muscle disease that causes muscle wasting, sleep disorders, muscle tension, and muscle pain. I went through a phase of narcotic pain meds, and dont want to go there again... I was not functioning very productively! Now I work full time in a reasonably stressful job. I am careful with the meds, and not taking all of them in one day!

Questions:

1. Do I need Mexican MD scripts for all of these? or just the controled meds? (ambien, lorazepam, depo test...). My insurance co. just told me I have to change from Zoloft to generic Celexa. I tried several SSRI's, and for me, Zoloft is by far the BEST! I was hoping to be able to pick up 90 100 mg tabs, which would last me for 6 mos. since I break them in half. So do I need a script for this? Pretty much the same story for Protonix. It works best for me, but insurance is trying to change me to a cheaper med.

2. If a med is not available in the US can it be brought back, 90 units? I am possibly interested in bringing back Piracetam, clenbuterol (helps me with breathing), Imovane, retin A (to help with acne from depo test).

3. Can I ask before going into mexico what I can legally bring back? I do not want to end up in mexican jail! I have a faxed letter from my Doc stating what I am currently prescribed. And I have recent prescription bottles. I do not have photocopies of the original scripts.

Thanks folks! I hope to be able to help others as much as you folks have helped me.
