meds on a plane?!

[bleedingplatinum]

Hey all,
I am going on a plane tomorrow, I am only bringing a carry on bag. So all my meds will have to be in my carry on and go through all the security measures.
In total i will be bringing 7 prescription medications. They are all in their proper bottle and all of them are in a clear ziplock bag,

My fear is that..
they wont allow it
they will whip them out and ask me questions about them in front of everyone (my whole family will be with me and they do not know/care to know the extent of my mental health issues)

has anyone every brought a ton of prescription pills in their carry on??
will the fact that some of them are controlled an issue?

any info would be helpful!!
thanks

As long as you have your medications in the original Rx bottle, not mixed together or anything, you should be fine.  Like Sam said above, IF there are questions, they should absolutely take you to the side.  If they are starting to inquire about your meds without doing so, just kindly request to be taken off to the side for privacy reasons.

Try not to worry too too much about it.

I found this link...reading it over, you may even want to be the one who brings your medication to the attention of the guard for inspection:

Hope you're traveling somewhere fun??  Safe travels!

As long as they have prescription labels on, you should be fine - I always have to take millions through! Sometimes they ask questions, but they always take you to the side, they would never do it in front of everyone - medication is a confidential issue :)
Have a safe flight :) xx
