Thanks for all your information.I have a Dr coming to my hotel when I arrive. Cost 130 euros. But worth it . For peace of mind. For those that think it is a controlled, I recommend you ring the consulate for use in your country. They would be the ones to go by. I know there web site is not. Easily understood. When in doubt go the right resources I think best. Thank you one and all.

I meant to add, it would be great if you could back after your trip and report back on how it goes with the doctor and at the pharmacy. I'd be really curious to hear.

In France and, I believe, many places in Europe you just have to go to a pharmacy and do not need a prescription for non narcotics. What you do need is the generic name for the medicine. In this case, Zoloft is sertraline HCl. I had forgotten one of my meds on a trip many years ago, and the biggest problem I had was finding the proper name, not obtaining the med itself. Always have a list of your meds by generic name with you when traveling.

Knowing the generic name of anything you are taking is always a good idea. Many drugs have different brand names in different countries, either because they are marketed by a different company or because the local regulatory authority beleives the name is too close to another drug already on the market. Also be sure to know your specific dosage - since many drugs come in more than one and they may not be the same in various countries.
