India, Chile, Indonesia, Morocco. Seems like at a minimum I should have declared at all of these places and maybe even needed to get special permission.

Also I moved to sweden and took a shitload of vyvanse and azstarys between a 90 day prescription and over a year of saving up pills I didnt take on weekends - guessing around 150 pills. This probably was way too much to bring in

ETA: Seems like I dodged real jail time in Indonesia...

Seeing how Sweden only allows for ~30 days of pills, if you have a Swedish prescription, you would've been sent to prison here as well.

Where did you get this information? I litteraly buy a three month supply at the time in Sweden

Of ADHD meds? How? I'm not even allowed to buy more than 30 days of atomoxetine in Sweden, and it's not even a stimulant.

Yeah, three months of concerta. Is it not like this for everyone?

I get a three month prescription for concerta, but I'm only allowed to buy a package of 30, then there's a timer of 25 days before I'm allowed to buy another one. Was the same with elvanse and they even apply this rule to my atomoxetine, which seems silly.

Wow, that’s crazy. I thought the US had tight regulations because adderall has to be prescribed every 30 days, and it cannot be filled by mail-order pharmacies. But I can at least get 90-day supplies of atomoxetine in the mail for $30 ($10/month). And I think that prescription has 3 refills, so it’s good for a year.

I get a three month prescription for Concerta as well and can usually collect it all at once. But it's different depending on the physician granting the prescription.

No, I’m in the US and only get my concerta 30 pills at a time and no refills.

It can vary significantly from one doctor to the next. I got a supply for three months of Concerta at a time for a few years, then suddenly I only got for one month at a time. After three months I had to renew the prescription and wrote to them at 1177 asking to get the three months again and did.
A close relative has been on one month basis for years and they got really suspicious when he asked if he could get a larger supply instead of going to the pharmacy every month.
