Traveling abroad with meds!

Hello fellow TN sufferers. I am venturing out in the world for the first time ever. But I can't do it with out my CARBAMAZEPIN. Has any one traveled overseas with this specific medication ? Specifically Japan, Spain, or England? I can't be with out it, I'll turn into the HULK! That's the way I like to think of it. My family says I'll scare every one when I get my attacks! HAHA! I'm just trying to live some sort of friggin' life. I read in the Gov. Travel sight, that not all meds. are allowed in Japan, that if they consider it illegal, they'll take it away and arrest me for several weeks.Even if I have a doctors note. I can't Imagine being without my medication for that long. I think I might kill every one in sight. Nah, just sit in a corner and scream in pain is more like it. Well, If anybody knows anything please be so kind as to let me know your experiences. I have written to the pharmaceutical Investigator there but no response yet and I'm getting antsy.I gotta leave in Oct. ticket is already paid for. I'm getting scared. Please help!

Thank you,

Adel

How long will you be gone ?

Oh, just a week is all my family could afford.

Agree with LJ. I always carry a copy of my prescription with me. Always leave meds in their original packaging. Perhaps take a copy of the

Here is a link to it, maybe translate it via Google into the appropriate languages
