okay, so im going to Washington D.C. with my school in May (im canadian). I was wondering though, will i get questioned and stuff about the medication i have with me when i'm at the border? I'd have my Effexor(if i dont get switched by then), Adderall XR, and Dexadrine and possibly an SSRI of some type with me and i would get really embarressed if they asked about it in front of people cause only a couple people know about my meds..

I don't think so, as long as they are prescribed to you. I mean your name is on the bottle correct? When i flew overseas the airport security looked through my bags and when they got to my load of meds they didn't even ask anything at all. so your i'm 99.9% you will no trouble at all. :)

britbrat, you need to get a letter from the physician who prescribes your meds stating what meds you take and why. Carry the letter with you when you travel.

britbrat, I should have asked first how long you will be staying in the US and whether you are flying or crossing the border in a vehicle.

dr's will transfer files too...just tell new dr. what old dr's name is...or vice versa.
....my dr said to have the new dr call him and he'd send em when I moved.


....or maybe they'll give you a copy of your files.


and that says it all.

Just make sure they are in their prescribed bottles, will be fine.

my meds wore off.
...I thought you were moving.

LOL! der!
