Benzos and Domestic Flights

[The-Future]

I've been prescribed a pack of Rivotril (Clonazepam) from my GP for anxiety attacks. I got rid of the original packaging and put the pills into small baggies so I can carry them around in my wallet for when I need them. I'm flying interstate next week and it's obviously going to look sus when my wallet goes through the X-Ray machine at the airport. Is this something should I be worried about as I don't have the original package with my name and contents on it?

see your doctor, explain the situation as you store them in something alternative and have misplaced the original packing. he'll either be able to print you out a short script to cover you for the trip, write a note for you or even get a pharmacy print out the label again

as above states talk to your doc or just take the whole bottle with you on the trip that would be the easyist way to go i think then you can just take some zip back with you from home.

or just tell your doc your label on the bottle is no good anymore and if he can make a new one you can put on your botle
or ex-change the old ones with a new package (it sounds like you dont get them in bottle, witch will make it a bit more hard to do) but def talk to your doctor about it.

hope you get a good trip and it all works out

Exactly as said above..

However i might say this even though its against hr and do not recommend it, i have had small ammounts of drugs countless times in my wallet and carry on luggage and never had a problem. The reason for this is you are not going threw customs..you are going threw airport security. They are trained to looked at the Xray machienes completely differently. Customs are trained to look for inconsistances, they zoom in on areas and are trained to pick up on abnormalties. Airport security are only interested in what poses a threat to the aircraft. These are almost always big items, guns, knives, a large liquid substance, ect.. if u have ever noticed walking passed and looking at the machienes there pictures are much more zoomed out then the screens they use in customs. A few pills, or a gram or so of shards doesn't even show up..

That said DONT do that as there always IS a chance it will go wrong..and as the others said safe bet is to get the gp to write a letter.

I called my doc and apparently my GP is on leave for a week and won't be back in time for my flight so he can't write a letter. Fuck. If I just keep the baggy in my back pocket when going through the metal detector it should be fine right?

I've taken prescription drugs without their packaging in my wallet through interstate and international airports at least half a dozen times without any problems. Not saying you'll have no trouble, especially if you're a nervous wreck and looking behind you every 2 seconds while trying to avoid eye contact with all official looking peoples, but you might get lucky.

 

[Busty St Clare]

Just stick them in your pocket. They won't set of the metal detector so I don't see a problem. If you were stopped and strip searched it would be a problem at the time but if push came to shove all you would have to do is produce a doctors certificate after the fact and any charges would be instantly dropped.

 

[What was it?]

it aint schedule 8 so no biggy....its in fact not a crime even if you dont have a scrip. Only stuff on schedule 8 is illegal without scrip and falls under criminal law.
