I am coming to Taraz in the middle of October. Can I bring my prescribed medicines with me?

Yes, but I believe you can only carry with you a three months supply. Check that out though. I am ordering prescriptions I cannot get in town from an online pharmacy. They are on the way so we'll see how it all plays out. Pharmacies here are like convenience stores- you walk in, tell them what they are looking for (it helps to have the Russian equivalent), and in most cases you can walk out with what you need within reason. They aren't going to give you loads of morphine of course.
All that aside, I am not in Taraz. You will love Kazakhstan! My blog www.bryanreinholdt.com/blog is coming along, slowly. Learn a little Russian before you come over. It helps. I carry around a list of needed phrases and words until I can remember all of them.
