Traveling to Europe with medication

I’m going to Europe next week: wondering if my medications are going to be an issue. Any advice about leaving the country with a stimulant medication? We went to Mexico two years ago and it wasn’t an issue but we’ll be in the Czech Republic and Germany - not sure if that will be different? Thanks!

Hi, it varies from country to country, i would recommend checking the embassy websites for each country you are going to to be absolutely sure of the rules, and if not clear to contact them directly - much better than inadvertently ending up in jail or without your meds!

There are steps you need to take to protect yourself.

Thanks!! I called the embassies of the countries I’ll be visiting. They said I need to bring the original prescriptions, a letter from my doctor and to bring only the amount I’ll need for my stay in the original containers

Yes, your interpretation is that's the way I read the links ... Have a blast on the trip! Great to be reminded that we can call our embassies and get great info like this for travelling!!!
