That's something to think about. I guess I'll try the online clinic thing or ask the doctor I'm seeing later on about that. Like I mentioned earlier, I really don't think I'll have time to do that Yakkan Shoumei since I'd have to wait to do it.

I actually contacted the place I'm being hired through, and they were looking up the medications I take and how it "clearly states that the second two medications are available in Japan" and that "the first one is not listed but other medications with similar use are".

I'm still trying to figure out what to do, though. I only have 11 days left before I have to head over there.

So, bottom line is that what I should bring with me, since I don't feel there's enough time to fill out and send in the Yakkan Shoumei [as they already said it may take 2 weeks at the most] are:

Written prescriptions to use once over there (I'm assuming)
Bring a copy of my medical history highlighting these particular medications
Bring proper medical forms [which would be what?]

Sorry if I'm showing my ignorance here. I just want to make sure all of this is in order. Ironically, this is what's holding me up. The thing that should be the simplest. I just found out this past weekend that I have to be in Tokyo by the 29th.
