Can you bring in 3 months supply of psychotropics with prescription?

Yes but I would keep it to one month to avoid any issues at the airport. And also bring the prescription - all drugs are available here and you can buy them with your local country prescription - except some controlled ones like xanax, for which you need saudi prescription. Mood stabilizers are also available although lithium stock fluctuates at times.

Sorry I noticed that I wrongly put valium whereas I meant lithium. Lithium supply fluctuates and if available, you can usually find it in the bigger hospitals - check with Sulaiman Habib if there is one in Tabuk. Usually, here, for mood stabilizers, people generally don't use lithium and instead go for Depakene.
