Had the same question about bringing a similar medication into Canada but will read the above links first. I'm still unclear about something (emphasis mine):

I've heard this advice quite a lot over on the TS/S forum and think it's well-intentioned and mostly spot on. What you mean by carrying a copy of the Rx strikes me as potentially problematic if by 'copy' you mean 'photocopy'. In this day and age I wouldn't be surprised in the least to be hassled for carrying around a Xerox of Ritalin and Adderall (or mixed amphetamine salts in the generic). I don't know what the law is here, just thinking in terms of what the average customs officer or security security might perceive. If by copy you mean one of the duplicate Rx receipts with an identical Rx label then that makes sense. Of course, since anything document can be forged or faked (ID, Rxs, etc.) I'm not sure how multiple forms of the copy of the original Rx is helps.
