they are prescribed. If you were already using them in your native country then tell the dr. what doses you were taking and show them the medicine bottles.

If you think you need them for the first time then go to a psychiatrist (google translate the word into korean and search on google maps near your area) and say keywords; nervous, anxiety, insomnia, etc. They usually speak a little bit of english, but just in case google translate your symptoms so that they know in korean how you are feeling.

FWIW, last time my coworkers and I had our yearly health checks for Gyeonggi-do they made us go off all meds for a week prior.

Who do you mean by "they."

Whoever they were was a COMPLETE IDIOT. At the testing facility, usually they simply ask you to write down any medicine your taking, and you proceed with the test.
