I finally have a whole week free because my exams happened to be right after another. I’ve decided to start medicating myself because I’ve lost all hope in this country’s (netherlands) medical system.
It would literally be cheaper and faster for me to hitch a ride to some European country (by train) and get hormones myself from some pharmacy instead of waiting here for prescription drugs that my insurance won’t even cover (because it is not a Dutch insurance, but a European one. Didn’t even know about that complication until it was too late). Not to mention the absurdly high costs for consultations and everything.
Do any of you comrades have any experience buying hormones in a European country? I know that in the netherlands, pharmacies will pretty much give you nothing without a prescription (which my GP isn’t willing to give). I’ve heard that in Spain getting hormones over the counter is possible.
I know that ordering online us a possibility, but I am honestly quite scared of something going wrong, which is why I am looking for in person pharmacies.
Your help is much appreciated.
What hormones do you need? For estrogen Spain is probably your best bet from what I’ve heard, I’m less sure about testosterone. Russia used to be good for both, but that’s obviously a lot more problematic nowadays.
I’m in the same position in a European country where HRT is basically inaccesible unless your GP decides to play ball and it sucks. I ended up going the online route and it’s scary but for what’s it worth I’ve haven’t encountered any problems other than having to argue with my doctor to let me get blood tests.
Yeah I need estrogen, and I keep seeing people say that Spain is good for that. I do need to do a bit more research before packing my bags and heading off (that’s if I even need to, since maybe online might work???)
