When you’re about to travel with ADHD medication (stimulants), it comes with a bit of preparation – to avoid potential serious (legal) issues down the line. But the preparation needed is of the exact sort most of us have a really hard time with!
Therefor, I’ve put together a comprehensible list – a one stop shop, where all legal matters are listed, in short and clear formatting. All in one page, no clicking around, no confusion, no squirrels, just a long scroll. Enjoy!
TL;DR Bring maximum 30 days of medication, keep it in the original packaging, have a valid prescription to show border agent – if they request it.
Common brand names and active components
Ritalin (methylphenidate), Concerta (methylphenidate), Vyvanse aka. Elvanse (lisdexamfetamine), Adderall aka. Mydayis (dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine combination).
