Basically I'm gonna entertain a special girl in the States and I want to make a good impression. I got some pills presribed to me by a doctor after an online consultation (perfectly legitimate, I checked) from an UK based pharmacy, so it's nothing illegal. .

So I got Cialis and this pill called Priligy (prevents premature ejaculation), the latter is not approved by the U.S. FDA yet (still pending) but I have a legitimate recipe for both. [1] Can I still bring the latter into the States for personal use, of course?

I also got this generic pill called Snovitra. I would rather not bring it with me because I don't have presecription for that, I just got it legally from an online store, but I thought I'd bring 4 of those as "back-up" because I'll be staying for two weeks and Cialis is way too pricey to cover that time period, even if I may not even use them, it's just to be on the safe side.

[2] So is the TSA concerned about personal use quantaties of generic pills without prescription, will they even bother to look if I put them in a vitamine bottle? I know that could get me in trouble, but it's just for personal use like I said, plus if there's very little risk of getting caught, no harm in it the way I see it.

Any TSA employees here who can clarify how it works at the customs when it comes to pills of "personal use quantities"?
I have never had a TSA mention, question, or even look at any of the meds or supplements I travel with. Yes, I keep them in their original containers, particularly the meds, just in case I'm questioned. Customs? Never claimed any and haven't had an agent question me about what I've declared or search my bags.
