The hostility of governments towards tourists with ADHD who just want to take their medication is a true test of the effectiveness of that medication.
Within the EU, I must fill out a form with my pharmacist for them to file for each trip beyond Sverige’s border.
For my trip to Korea, I must download 2 Word docs from a website in Korean, submit a copy of my passport, flight information, notarized English translation of my Swedish prescription, and email it all 10 days before travel.
Given the decades of research, prescription, and millions of people using the medication, I think governments should stop treating people with ADHD like they are potential drug mules.
People buy enough alcohol in duty free stores at the airport to get shitfaced and that’s ok, but someone with a pill a day for the duration of their trip so their executive function works is a 🚩? Sure, Jan…
Update: Korea told me to “leave [my] narcotics at home” or “postpone [my] trip if cannot function without” because I submitted my application less than 10 work days in advance of my trip. There are 2 Korean holiday periods coming up I did not account for not being work days.
