(Posted by: on 2010-02-09 08:30:01)

I live in the uk and im taking 45ml methadone daily, and on daily pick up from the chemist. i am planning to go to france this year and wanted to know if i'll be allowed to take it into the country and if i need to get permission from anyone. i'll be going for no longer then a week. and should be going by ferry or channel tunnel. what authorities do i need to inform, and do i need to let the ferry/ channel train staff know. and do i need a note from drug clinic or doctor? any help would be much appreciated.

With a perscription, it shouldnt be a problem.

In theory you can travel to France with methadone and the link suggested above will help you. The problem you may well have is actually getting a weeks supply of methadone as you are on daily dispensing. No doctor may feel able to give you a weeks supply.
