Going to Germany for a year - medical and other questions

10 years ago

I am 42 years old and will be going to Germany to study for a year. I will be getting the required health insurance. My question has to do with prescriptions.

I have 2 medications that I have to have to be able to live. Is it possible to get prescriptions cheaply in Germany or would it be cheaper to have it mail order from the US? If I should send it to me from the US, what kind of paperwork do I need to bring it in?

Besides foods that I know I cannot get in Germany that I want to eat, what type of other things should I bring? I know clothes, my laptop, my camera but what am I forgetting?
