Abilify in Japan

Hello, I take a medication called Abilify (Aripiprazole)and another called Buspar (Buspirone). I want to travel to Japan one day and wish to know if it is better to fill out a Yakkan Shoumei for both of my medications to be on the safe side, then obtaining Abilify in Japan and filling out the YS for the Buspar, since I'm only going there for travel purposes.

I'm 26 and i take Abilify for Obsessive Compulsion Disorder, (visual) Hallucinations and Racing Thoughts while the Buspar is my sleep aid for when I get too anxious to go to sleep at night.

I'm asking out of curiosity and I don't want to get in trouble with the law in Japan.

Thank you.

I would bring it from home and check with the Japanese embassy in your country of residence whether you need to bring any paper work, I found dealing with Japanese pharmacies trying and you certainly do not want to waste your vacation time to first get a local prescription with all language difficulties, etc.

Thank you so much.

I'll keep this in mind for when I plan to take a trip there.

I think you can't buy any medicines with a foreign prescription in Japan.

I take 5 or 6 meds. When I go for 2 or 3 weeks I take enough for the entire time. I am from the U.S. They have never checked my luggage and the last thing you should do is tell them you have the meds.
BUT, if you are young and look like a hippie, expect to be checked.
