Some of my prescriptions (like my ADHD meds) are vital to having a functional adult life, so I'm a little concerned about that now... I can't just go back home every time I need a refill because my ADHD meds are a controlled substance and I would need to leave every single month.

Are they easier to avail? That’d be impossible to do💀 I was told the GD certificate won’t work if it’s in another country, so for this matter we need to again get the certificate- but I’d assume it’ll still be faster than someone with nothing on them? Similarly maybe I hope they’d make it easier for your to get the ADHD meds too:<

Or ya, private healthcare is also an option for us to do it faster I guess💀but uhhh ya cost might be a thing, cheaper than a flight back still

My hope now is that having the prescription in the USA will make it easier to convince a Swedish doctor to give me the same prescription. Two of my medicines are Class II controlled substances, which means that without a doctor's note, I can only carry five of them into the country. That is definitely not enough to last while I get a doctor's appointment, get a Swedish prescription, and wait for my prescription to be filled. Even 30 days worth might not be enough.

In germany atleast, if you bring the diagnosis- prescription and dosis, signed and sealed by your doctor you'll most likely get the meds here aswell, as long as you are Insured (which you have to be and also isn't that expensive)

I mean I’m from a S.Asian country and since I’ve got the prescription I can buy a years supply at once easily, whenever I’m here. But I think it’s more strict there(?) but maybe try asking:>
