Or do I just do it in Detroit and since i cleared it there, I just claim my luggage in Tampa and thats it? Or how does this work.. I will also be carrying my Medicines On me.. Not in my suitcase.. if that helps with part of the equation.. Thanks
As mentioned above, you'll clear in YYZ on the way out, and then on your last segment before re-entering Canada (Detroit, going by your post). Go to YYZ early! I find the wait for customs at Pearson unusually long, and will always choose to fly straight from Montreal if I can.

Your tylenol should be fine, just keep them in the original container from the drug store.
