Any European country where I can buy hormones for HRT without prescription? (lemmygrad.ml)

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.

I can confirm that Dutch GPs are really impossible to work with when it comes to prescribing hormones. Even though I have an official gender dysphoria diagnosis, my GP will still refuse prescribing me hormones, so I have to get them through an endocrinologist at the gender polyclinic. Although I managed to find a loophole through an online pharmacy that automatically renews an old prescription now, so I don't have to constantly request a new prescription for something I need for the rest of my life.

I have no experience doing DIY, but we have a stickied post that contains useful information and resources to get people started. https://hexbear.net/post/3016455
