bringing antidepressants into dubai

Im flying to India in January and I have to stop off on Dubai. Im on the antidepressant 'citalopram' and Im a bit concerned I might be arrested and jailed for possessing it. Does anyone have any advice of what I should do? Is it illegal? Do I just need a prescription and it wont be a problem?
Thanks

gives you a list of most medicines which are restricted/banned in uae.

Citalopram is a restricted drug. You are allowed to bring it into Dubai with an attested and notorised presription. It is very easy to do.
Take the prescription and a copy of it to a solicitor. Ask him to certify the copy. He should only charge you £5.
Then send the certified copy to The Foreign and Commonwealth Office in Milton Keynes and include a stamped addressed envelope to the UAE Embassy London and one to yourself. Cost £20.
The FCO will stamp the copy prescription and forward it to the UAE Embassy for you to be attested by them.
The UAE Embassy will post it back to you.
The whole process only takes a few days although it may take a little longer as the Embassy will close for EID soon and there a few holidays in December as well.
All details are on FCO and UAE Embassy London websites.
I know it seems a hassle but it is very important that you do not have Citalopram taken off you as you probably know you cannot suddenly stop taking it.

Thanks. That was just the answer I was looking for. Im still gonna be terrified of getting arrested when i land there though :S

If you do as Wandabug has detailed, you don't need to worry. Remember that you don't need to declare anything when you come in ; its only in the remote event that you are stopped and questioned, that you need to produce this. Keep this document very safe and for added precaution, scan and mail it to your mail ID.

Dubai is one of the easiest places in the ME to travel in and out of. You just need to mind your p's and q's, remember to respect the local culture and be polite at all times - really not too difficult :-)

Man arrested for rude gesture

Do what he say above.but after going through security just a few days ago both coming and going you should have NO PROBLEM so don't look worried.I like to feel safe so I not going to say why not to feel worried on here.[ha ha].
