GiantsWSC Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) MOD NOTE: Find the name of your pills in any country __________________________________ Sorry, didn't know where to post this. I'll be traveling in a few days and was wondering how should I go about carrying my pills on the plane. Since my pills are cut to specific dosages I have them all segregated into weekly pill boxes. I will also be bringing the actual prescription container that they originally came in with full uncut pills. Does anyone think it will be an issue during the screening process?

Moderator Emeritus SquirrellyGirl Posted April 9, 2016 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted April 9, 2016 I'd be inclined to take my scale and tablets with me and do the measuring where ever I am to eliminate all doubt, but that's just me :-) They can always run the drug sniffing dogs by your pill case to make sure it's not dope :-) You may be able to check with TSA in advance. They do have a customer service link on their website. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/travel-tips SG Started ADs back around 1995 after bad break-up, starting with Prozac.

Administrator Karma Posted April 10, 2016 Administrator Share Posted April 10, 2016 I've traveled domestically with cut up pills and a liquid suspension. I've never had any problem. Since the liquid is oversized they inspect it - sometimes they put it through a sniffer device, but it has never been a problem. I've never had them even care about the cut up bits in the pill carrier. I also travel with a significant amount of supplements in a container that has compartments. That has also never cause any concern. I also do what SG suggests and take some whole pills and my pill cutter for back up. The pill cutter goes in carry-on and has never been confiscated. But if you use an exacto knife or similar device, I would put that in checked luggage. The TSA doesn't like blades. I've had the little mini Swiss army knives confiscated before and those blades are an inch and half at most. If you are traveling domestically it shouldn't be any problem. If you are talking international travel, I cannot provide any guidance because so far I've only had to travel internationally once and that was to Canada. I'm sure I had cut up bits that time and it wasn't a problem. Hope that helps.

GiantsWSC Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Thanks Karma and SG. Sounds like it would be a good idea for me to bring my scale just in case so that's what I'll do. I'd much rather be safe than sorry. I guess as long as I have the original prescription container it should help as far as raising any suspicion. I'll put my razor blade in my check in baggage so as to not cause any issues. As for my travels, i'll be traveling internationally to Asia. As far as the dogs go, hopefully paxil doesn't raise any red flags. Taken paxil for over 15 years probably closer to 20. Tapering since Oct 2013 from 10mg Gemini 20 scale thanks to BrassMonkey!

Moderator brassmonkey Posted April 10, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 10, 2016 I've traveled overseas with my paxil several times and had no trouble. I always keep in in my carry-on so I won't loose it. I make up enough pills for the trip in advance and leave everything else at home. Scales and empty gel caps could raise questions. Having the original prescription bottle may help but having altered or made up pills could raise questions. Just don't say anything about it unless specifically asked. The dogs, if there even are any, are much more interested in other things than ADs. Have a great trip. 20 years on Paxil starting at 20mg and working up to 40mg. Sept 2011 started 10% every 6 weeks taper (2.5% every week for 4 weeks then hold for 2 additional weeks), currently at 7.9mg. Oct 2011 CTed 15oz vodka a night, to only drinking 2 beers most nights, totally sober Feb 2013. Since I wrote this I have continued to decrease my dose by 10% every 6 weeks (2.5% every week for 4 weeks and then hold for an additional 2 weeks). I added in an extra 6 week hold when I hit 10mg to let things settle out even more. When I hit 3mgpw it became hard to split the drop into 4 parts so I switched to dropping 1mgpw (pill weight) every week for 3 weeks and then holding for another 3 weeks. The 3 + 3 schedule turned out to be too harsh so I cut back to dropping 1mgpw every 4 weeks which is working better. Final Dose 0.016mg. Current dose 0.000mg 04-15-2017 "It's also important not to become angry, no matter how difficult life is, because you can loose all hope if you can't laugh at yourself and at life in general."

GiantsWSC Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Ok just called the customer service at TSA posted by SG and spoke with an agent and the cut up pills wont be an issue as long as I explain the situation if asked by a screener.

Ayaa Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I travelled to Asia (South and Central) and Eastern Europe with drugs. And each time I was asked for original prescription. They also checked the number of pills I am taking with me (it has to be mentioned in the prescription). 1992 - Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and benzodiazepines in hospital for about 1,5 month, with PTSD diagnosed. Then I abruptly stopped taking pills. W/d for few months and then no symptoms for many years. 2013 – Doctor prescribes Paxil, Amitriptyline, Risperidone due to insomnia, anxiety and weight loss. Then it starts a long story about changing diagnosis and adding/changing meds. I started to taper in December 2014. Severe withdrawal symptoms for 4 months. Then the 1st window. April 2015 – meds free. June, July – the first big window which lasted until mid-October. Then a wave again, but this time with new strange symptoms I’ve never had before.

GiantsWSC Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Hi Miko sorry for the late reply. I would say bring the original container as proof of prescription so the tsa doesnt question you and if they do you will have your reason. Hope u have a good journey as well Taken paxil for over 15 years probably closer to 20. Tapering since Oct 2013 from 10mg Gemini 20 scale thanks to BrassMonkey!

Miko789 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 On 4/10/2016 at 3:01 AM, Karma said: I've traveled domestically with cut up pills and a liquid suspension. I've never had any problem. Since the liquid is oversized they inspect it - sometimes they put it through a sniffer device, but it has never been a problem. I've never had them even care about the cut up bits in the pill carrier. I also travel with a significant amount of supplements in a container that has compartments. That has also never cause any concern. I also do what SG suggests and take some whole pills and my pill cutter for back up. The pill cutter goes in carry-on and has never been confiscated. But if you use an exacto knife or similar device, I would put that in checked luggage. The TSA doesn't like blades. I've had the little mini Swiss army knives confiscated before and those blades are an inch and half at most. If you are traveling domestically it shouldn't be any problem. If you are talking international travel, I cannot provide any guidance because so far I've only had to travel internationally once and that was to Canada. I'm sure I had cut up bits that time and it wasn't a problem. Hope that helps. Karma Hi Karma, I read you travelled a year ago and took the supplements with you. Did you put the supplements in the carry-on luggage or the checked in luggage to avoid any issues? I'll be travelling in a while and want to be sure. ty 2011 protracted withdrawal symptoms from Effexor, managed to come off 2013-2015 risperidone consta 50 mg, started tapering from March 2015 to 1,66mg/day and from 02/2015 started seroxat 10mg/day 01/17 Seroxat 2,0mg,olanzapine 5mg,risperidone consta 25mg/every 15days 05/17 Seroxat 1mg,olanzapine 5mg,risp.consta 25mg/every 15days 06/17 Seroxat 2drops,olanzapine 5mg,liquid risperidone2mg 07/17 Seroxat 1 drop,olanzapine 5mg,Risperidone 0mg, 10/17 Seroxat 0mg,olanzapine,5mg,Risperidone 0mg, 12/17 Seroxat 1/2 drop, olanzapine 5mg, 04/18 Olanzapine 1,25mg, 04/18 xanax 0,5mg 24/06/2019 doc said to take 10mg olanzapine for 13days and down to 5mg been taking 10mg for 14 days, 5mg for 8 days and tapered to 3/4quart. 5mg for 14 days, 1/2 for 14 days, 01/08/19 2,5mg 08/2021 5mg olanzapine Supplements Omega 3, Turmeric, Bacopa monneri, Mucuna Pruriens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Karma Posted December 17, 2017 Administrator Share Posted December 17, 2017 My apologies, I didn’t get a notice on this. It may be too late, but I carry my supplements and meds in my carry on. I travel domestically. I am told traveling internationally may be a bit different. If if I travel internationally I will carry a letter from my provider, carry meds in my carry on and pack supplements in my checked luggage except for what I need for the actual flight.
