My husband and I plan on moving to Cambodia in September of this year to teach English. I have bipolar disorder (manic depression) and insomnia and require several medications to treat these conditions. My current psychiatrist here in the U.S. has me very well controlled and I would really just need a physician to continue to prescribe these meds for me and see me for six month check ups. Can anyone recommend a good physician who can provide this service? We would probably be assigned to PP or SR. I also understand that certain medications that are legal in US are illegal in Cambodia? Does anyone know about this or have experience with this? My meds are Valium, Topamax, Ambien, Paxil, and Trazodone. Many thanks.
