<p>It’s worth looking carefully at what prescription meds can be brought into a country and what documentation is needed. Sometimes it can be really odd, such as the case of Japan where lots of U.S. meds are illegal. For example:</p>
<p>[American</a> Citizen Services | Embassy of the United States Tokyo, Japan](<a href=“http://japan.usembassy.gov/e/acs/tacs-medimport.html]American”>http://japan.usembassy.gov/e/acs/tacs-medimport.html)</p>
<p>Here’s what the Japanese gov’t says about Adderall:</p>
<p>“Any medicine containing Methamphetamine or Amphetamine is defined as one of “Prohibited Stimulants” and strictly restricted in Japan. Nobody can bring any medicine containing Methamphetamine or Amphetamine (Adderall and so on) into Japan. If you are found with any medicine containing Methamphetamine or Amphetamine illegally in Japan, you can be arrested as a criminal on the spot, immediately, without a warrant in principle.”</p>
