I have accepted a position with EPIK to begin in September, and will be arriving in mid-August. Unfortunately I get really nervous on flights. I was thinking about getting a prescription from my doctor to help this, as it will be a long flight from LAX to Seoul. However, I also have heard that you must take a drug test upon arrival in Korea and the EPIK application asked whether or not I was prescribed any drugs, at this point I am not.
My question is: will I have problems either getting into the country with a prescription, or will some anti-anxiety or heavy sleep aid be detected in my drug test? Does anyone know if this will pose a problem for EPIK or immigration in general?

Thanks!
