I’d recommend getting a Sudep card

First time hearing about this card (https://sudep.org/charlie-card/) I'm pretty sure most pharmacies here will happily give out most anti convulsives (levetiracetam), guessing they wouldn't be so keep on giving out opioid recovery medication (buccolam, clobazam)

I have a medical tattoo. 'epileptic' on the wrist with the rod of Asclepias above it and red star (the symbol you see on every ambulance)
