Bringing ADHD medication (Ritalin/Adderall) through customs?
I have a valid prescription for my ADHD meds. Will I have any trouble bringing a 30-day supply into Sri Lanka?

As long as the medication is in its original pharmacy bottle with your name clearly printed on the label, AND you carry a physical copy of the doctor’s prescription/letter, you will be completely fine. Do not bring more than a 30-day supply.
Be aware that Adderall (Amphetamine salts) is technically a heavily restricted substance in SL compared to Ritalin (Methylphenidate). Keep it in your carry-on with the doctor's note prominently attached.
I brought my Ritalin last year. Customs didn’t even look in my medical bag, but it gave me peace of mind having the doctor's letter translated.
