ArmeniaTravelling with ADHD medication: rules, permits and documents

By medication

Brand names first, generic in brackets. Each line resolves the drug class rule below, plus anything Armenia records specifically for that medication.

• Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)Not named: Unclear

  Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) is not named in Armenia's law (Government Decision 1129-N list of controlled substances, Lists 1 to 4, current to 26 Mar 2026), so no rule for it is published. Ask the authority listed here before you travel.

• Ritalin, Concerta (methylphenidate)Unclear

  Methylphenidate is on List 2 (restricted) of Government Decision 1129-N. Armenia's customs guide says no import licence is needed if you present medical documents confirming the need (a prescription or a doctor's document) naming the medicine and the quantity, in Armenian or with a notarised Armenian translation, and complete a customs declaration stating the prescribed quantity and that the medicine was lawfully obtained. No certificate from your home health authority or from Armenia's health authority is required. The same guide says only narcotic and psychotropic medicines registered in Armenia may be imported, and Armenia's register lists no methylphenidate product, while Government Decision 202-N, point 14, allows personal import of registered or unregistered medicines. Get written confirmation from the Ministry of Health before you travel.

• Dexedrine (dexamfetamine)Banned

  Dexamfetamine is on List 1 of Government Decision 1129-N, the substances whose circulation in Armenia is prohibited (Law on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, article 4(2)(1)). Armenia's general rule letting individuals bring controlled medicines for personal use does not say it covers List 1 substances, and no medicine containing dexamfetamine is registered in Armenia. Treat it as banned, and get written confirmation from the Ministry of Health before carrying it.

• Strattera (atomoxetine)Prescription

  Atomoxetine, guanfacine and viloxazine are not internationally scheduled; carry with a normal prescription in original packaging.

• Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts)Banned

  Amfetamine and dexamfetamine, with all their salts, are on List 1 of Government Decision 1129-N, the substances whose circulation in Armenia is prohibited (Law on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, article 4(2)(1)). Armenia's general rule letting individuals bring controlled medicines for personal use does not say it covers List 1 substances, and no medicine containing them is registered in Armenia. Treat mixed amphetamine salts as banned, and get written confirmation from the Ministry of Health before carrying them.

• Intuniv (guanfacine)Prescription

  The same rule as Strattera above.

• Qelbree (viloxazine)Prescription

  The same rule as Strattera above.
