Here are the rules:
1) Original prescription bottle with the name the same as the passport
2) A letter from your doctor is not essential but speeds any confusion. I think it is essential. Your doc might charge you a bit for this but worth it in the event of a problem
3) Liquid medication (e.g. fluoxetine liquid) might be a problem because you will have more than 100 ml so it is important you follow a) and b) but it is recommended that you speak to the airline ahead of time as they can give you advice (N.B. it is the airlines responsibility not airport security)
4) Ensure you have your doctors phone number on hand if you need to make a call.
In my experience, short visits are not usually a problem. When patients ask for more than a months supply, then it may present a difficulty as the size of the bottle becomes notable. Sometimes, I have suggested the name of a doc in that country or place as a back-up plan.
