Any help will be awesome, thanks

Answer 1

Bring your medication in the pharmacy container with your name on it.  Make sure that the container has your doctor's name on it.  Also, bring a note from your doctor stating that this medication has been prescribed to you.  

I once had to get a refill in Japan, and they would not issue one to me unless I went through a medical evaluation or had a note from my doctor.  My doctor ended up faxing a note to them.

Save yourself the trouble, bring a note.

Best of luck on your trip.

Answer 2

Be sure to bring your medicine in the original prescription container so it is clearly prescribed by a doctor.  You should have no problem.
