Hi guys thanks for your answers i will do as you say and keep it with me at all times.I didnt know what it was untill my daughter said she watched a program on tv in the states and told me all about the problems you have with it. I will also get a letter from my doc just in case i get any hassle at the airports. Thanks again.

Be sure to travel with your drugs in the original bottles with the labels on them.  And NEVER put them in your checked luggage - keep your drugs with you at all times.  

Oxycodone has a particular allure here to drug addicts - don't know if the problem is the same in Scotland.  Be sure to know where your drugs are at all times because you don't want them to go missing and have to do without.   You would be hard pressed to get it prescribed here by a strange doctor for you as a replacement.

Upstate New York in autumn should be beautiful.  Enjoy the trip and the time with your sister.

Be well,
Laura

Hi Julie,

Your scripts will have labels on the bottles written for you.  You can also check out TSA's website.  They have a great downloadable brochure w/what you can and cannot have, sizes, etc. And how to have them packed in clear ziplock bags.

Very important for liquid products (i.e., haircare) etc., as they state the ounces you can bring.

Enjoy your trip!
