I'm going away to a martial arts seminar for the weekend and have to get a flight in a few hours. I've been prescribed 2mg diazepam 3 times daily I told the doc I wasn't doing this while training for safety reasons but I want to take a couple with me in case I feel to anxious and can take them after training. I was going to take 2 with me but if it causes me hassle at the airport I'll just leave them at home (im leaving my zopiclone at home too) am I okay to bring them or will this cause a fuss? Its an internal UK flight, last thing I want is bother caused by it and making anxiety worse than better lol. Any help would be appreciated. Also I have the box that shows prescription details bit its a big box and there's only 2 left so was just gonna keep them in my wallet.

I would call the airline to find out. They can give you the best answer.

i think if you have a slip from doctor about it's being a prescription to your name, you should be okay.

Carry it in it's original prescription bottle and there won't be a problem. Keep all meds in there individual presciption bottles.

Gaylegg hit it on the head. Carrying loose tabs is a greater risk than carrying the bottle with your name on it. I'd also suggest carrying your meds in your carry-on in the event your checked baggage doesn't get there.

Great! I was about to respond that I have never had problems traveling with my meds. It is also good to take a script from your doctor in case someone questions, or someone steals your meds and you need to replace them.
