For your own use, or members of your own household, there is no specific limit and no need to make a declaration (though, if asked by customs, you must tell them).

As I see it, an amount that raises suspicions of you supplying others could trigger unpleasant consequences - even if just a long time explaining, and a possibility of confiscation. However, I have no idea how anyone can readily assess what constitutes a large amount! Some people seem to need unbelievably large doses (e.g. 150 micrograms a day) while others need only 5 micrograms.

I pay £21 inc online! But it should last me 6-8 months, so not necessarily any great advantage to go on hols there for me to load up. What is most annoying is it shows how cheaply they could be supplied in this country, even with 100% profit, to NHS to get round monopoly here!
