    After recently becoming addicted ?
    You start off on a prescription attending a clinic or chemist daily then by giving clean urines over a period of time you might get a weekend takeaway as trust is built up.

    Newly addicted given three week prescription ?

    On a maintenance dose with clean urines. A good few are on dailys because of slip ups. I reckon the OPs pal will be fine, but he'll not be taking it on carry on bags, an average maintenance dose is between 60-100mls per day so a weekly takeaway is about a half a litre thereabouts, so it would need to be checked in baggage. A letter from his doctor, whilst not necessary would help if an over zealous custom guy like Bruce 'I'm not your friend amigo' Heller got a whiff of him. He should be fine. If he's going away for a week he'll be checking his luggage in anyways so it shouldn't really be an issue.

    According to Dublin Airport Security FAQ
    Yes, passengers are allowed to bring essential medication and dietary requirements in liquid form through the screening points in the quantities needed during their trip and a doctors letter or prescription is required to certify that the item is essential for travel. Additional screening may be required.
