methadone question
I am on 52 mgs of methadone from a clinic in the us, the script is on each bottle, and it is liquid. I am trying to plan a graduation vacation with my girlfriend. Mexico doesn't sound that easy for someone on this medication to visit, but dominican republic I read was a possibility to travel with methadone. Also, I am on andro-gel, for a head injury. It is testosterone, its not anabolic, and I need the medication in order to keep my muscles from atrophying.
I am grateful for information. Who do I call, there is a lawer on this site, can I email him?(a moderator i believe)
Thanks
Joseph A.

??? I am not sure I understand you!
Is it that you want to take your own supply when you go down there?
No.1 Can your PCP write you a letter to ascert you as pt/NEED of use of the Rx.
No.2 If this is the case and you go this route, Please, Please, DO NOT TAKE SUCH DRUG IN A CARRY ON BAG. (I would put it in a plastic see-thru safety bag and put it in main luggage.) I would also consider taking the bag down to the US Custom (If onw in your area) They would probably stamp it or give a note of declaration of such.
I did similar declaration in the past with valuable and electronics and had no problem in/out of US neither in the Dominican. I also did it in other countries and never a problem.
Please with the new system in use in some airports I (Seriously) would not even think to take across a tic tac as contraband. Even hair lyse can be seen. Caferul!
My mother used prescribed narcotics and we never experienced any trouble in/out of Dominican. We just declared it and kept in the main luggage.

What do mean by "Dominican"...The Country or a Dominican Person, I am confused. Are you referring to a drug mule?

Attention Penjo
I am getting the letter written and signed by my doctor. It is actually a medication I need to bring to the Dominican Republic for vacation. Are you saying, no to carry on luggage, even with the letter signed by my doctor. Im gonna attempt to call the embassy now. Do they speak english, Im in USA (New England)
Thanks
Hope this helps, and someone can help clarify. Im nervious, should my luggage get lost, I go into withdrawal the next day and vacation ruined, me possibly facing life threatening condition.
Thanks again

I've never, thanksfully, never had a bad experience with lost luggage. I meant to keep those things in your suitcase. I actually sealed things into those tilia vaccum bags. Even needles.
I see Tamborista posted the TSA information below. Pardon the scant information here but if need be to speak to TSA, I would rather contact their office at the Ronald Reagan Airport in Washington/Virginia. Again, pardon me but I cannot find the telephone number right now.
I seal things into those vaccum bags only attempting to show no ill intent.  I would hate to go as far as the airport and then have to turn back becuase of erroneous infrmation.
