I agree that limits are generally being trimmed everywhere. Online here in the UK, until very recently, you used to legally be able to buy 240mg of Codeine a day, with a month's supply, as the maximum dosage; so that would be 60 mg four times a day. That has now been dropped to half, so the maximum you can get is 120 mg a day with a month's supply over quite a number of sites. When I say a month, that varies and is often only 28 days, so if you take the full dose, you run out of meds regularly anyway. The site I was using says if you need any more you have to see your doctor; but as we all know, doctors also do not want to dispense anything like this anymore, or, like me, you get such high blood pressure when you go to see your doctor that it's something you try to avoid like the plague. One of the reasons for my reaction to visiting my GP is because it's almost impossible to see the same GP every time you go to a practice and each different one is always trying to fiddle around changing what the last one has prescribed, be it for migraine or pain or anything else. I recently found myself having to fight to stay on my migraine prescription, which was the result of months of trial and error with a previous doctor and which has left me almost migraine-free for years. Why fix it if it's not broken? No wonder I don't like going.
So going back to these UK sites, if you depend on them for your medication, you either choose to drop your dose or try to get by with fewer doses a day. This seems to be common to most of the pharmacies who were previously supplying the 240 mg level of medication - but I believe they are all serviced by the same pharmacy and as I cannot find a new country-wide regulation listed anywhere, I think this may be pharmacy-led. But I'm not at all sure.
As for benzos, my ex got really worked up and anxious earlier this year and went to his GP and begged, literally begged, for something to help him. He was given 3 diazepam tablets, of 2 mg each.....Honestly, if this is really because they fear being sued, I do not know what has become of us. What has happened to compassion and common sense?
Now we are going to be leaving Europe, I suspect getting any medication of this sort online will become a thing of the past so I guess I should enjoy my much-reduced dose while I still have it and stop moaning.
