Hi,

my boyfriend and I are planning a year long trip- and both of us are on medication.... I've posted on the Thorntree forum, and most of the girls suggested bringing a doctors note to get contraceptive pills.... I'd feel more comfortable bringing my own, rather then possibly getting the wrong dosage and having cramps and other lovely surprises... (girls you know what I'm talkin' about!).

My boyfriend on the other hand has life long meds that he can't go without- should he just bring along a stack of them? I'm not sure how easily a doctor's note would pass, as his meds aren't simple over-the-counter-at-your-local-pharmacy meds. If for some reason he couldn't get them in some other country....then that would be very bad.

Any suggestions on what you guys have done?

Thanks!
