Importing meds regularly + any psychiatrist recommendation in Tokyo?

Hi everyone!

I'll move to Japan in february. I will need to import OR get a prescription from a doctor in Tokyo for the meds I already take.

A. Importing Route

I have gathered some info about the Yunyu Kakunin-sho but I'd really like some advice from people who do this regularly since the information is a bit hard to come across.

From my understanding:

.If you have someone ship the meds to you, you only apply for a Yunyuu Kakunin-sho when they arrive and if they are stopped at customs?

.If it's up to a month of meds, you don't need a Yunyu Kakunin-sho and don't need to put copies of the prescription inside?

.You can send up to 6 months worth of meds if applying for the Yunyuu Kakunin-sho?

Can someone who does this regularly please confirm? Thank you so much 🙂

B. Going to a doctor in Tokyo Route

So, how easy is it getting a prescription for meds you already take? I've been taking some psychiatric meds in very low doses for some years to maintain my stability (maybe I'll be able to stop soon, but I won't risk that as I'm moving, obviously).

I speak Japanese and English fluently. Does anyone have recommendations/experience with psychiatrists/clinics that could facilitate this process?

Thanks for reading!
