In Germany we were expected to bring our own meds and even for pain if we saw our doctors prior to surgery. The woman from America who had surgery the same day I did, didn't bring enough Vicoden and there didn't seem to be a facsimile. She managed to get more from America but was panicking for awhile.

I know and realize because of drug interactions hospitals don't want you taking meds from home but come on - use common sense, use your computer, talk to your doctor and do whatever you have to do.
