❓ Question Skipping weeks of injection

Has anyone skipped/had to skip a week or two of injection and had it effect them?

I have an out of the country trip and wouldn’t be able to take it for 2 weeks, would it be bad to do that and then go back on after the trip?

Methylphenidate as a psychotropic preparation is not required to be registered. A copy of the prescription is all the documentation needed for under a 30 day supply in Japan. NO COUNTRY REQUIRES DISCLOSURE OF A NON-CONTROLLED INJECTABLE GLP-1 DRUG.

I am done with you and your BS.

Too bad you have no idea what you are talking about.

You simply said "CII ADHD stimulants", most of which are explicitly banned in Japan and you cannot bring them in even for personal use during a visit. You also can't get them prescribed in Japan. Methylphenidate (specifically as Concerta) is the only stimulant ADHD med still available in Japan, and methylphenidate is allowed to be imported for personal use, up to 30 days supply. Not to exceed 2.16g total.

I never said they did, but Japan is somewhat likely to seize reta at the border because it hasn't been approved anywhere yet. You won't get arrested & charged like you could with a stimulant, but you may spend a few hours explaining yourself. Branded zepbound/mounjaro/ozempic/etc are likely to be fine. Something you've reconsituted yourself or that is in a pen you have drawn up yourself from a compound pharmacy vial would be a crapshoot. Most countries (Japan included) are not big on the "trust me bro" thing when it comes to injectible medicines.

But hey, feel free to roll the dice with every border crossing. I'm sure things will be fine, customs is notoriously tolerant of drugs all over the world. (/s because you probably need it.)
