Leaving Germany with vyvanse / lisdexamfetamine
Lisdexamfetamine is a Schedule II-equivalent controlled stimulant under the Betäubungsmittelgesetz § 4; Schengen Convention Art. 75 medication travel certificate framework. Personal-use quantities (typically ≤30-90 days' supply) accompanied by the prescription and doctor's letter are generally permitted for export from Germany; above these limits a Schengen Article 75 certificate is required in advance. Destination-side treatment is the sharper risk — several countries (Japan requires advance permission; some jurisdictions ban amphetamine-class medicines outright) restrict arrival with stimulant ADHD medication, so verify the arrival rule for the same route.
Carry documentation. Declare at customs if required.
