Yes you can most definetly take your own personal medicines,like you said if they are contained in their original bottles with your name and any OTC meds are in their original bottles also helps.I am sure most people traveling have at least one type of med with them I imagne some have many more.I think the only problem that could arise is if it were large quantitys,but I imagine even a 90 day supply on most meds would be ok,due to extended stays or the length of your travel plans.This info is posted on a website I just visited a few days ago,I will check back and see if I can find it and post it for you.....take care and HAVE FUN!!!!
