The rules for Dexamphetamine (dexamfetamine)
Carry a valid prescription or other proof the medicine is for your own medical use (e.g. pharmacy label with patient and doctor's name), per the Swedish Medical Products Agency (Läkemedelsverket)'s 2024 INCB submission. Psychotropic substances (which include amphetamine/dexamfetamine) are capped at 5, 21 or 90 days' supply depending on the substance's Swedish schedule. Sweden's customs authority (Tullverket) confirms ADHD medicines are treated as 'narkotikaklassade' (narcotic-classified) and lists them as an explicit example category requiring this proof.
What to do
- valid prescription
- proof of medicinal purpose and personal use (e.g. doctor's certificate, pharmaceutical label with patient and doctor name)
- Schengen certificate (for EU/Schengen residents carrying appendix-2 substances). This is issued by your own country of residence and only covers travel between Schengen countries, so if you are flying in from Australia you cannot get one and do not need it.
