Yes but I would keep it to one month to avoid any issues at the airport.  And also bring the prescription - all drugs are available here and you can buy them with your local country prescription - except some controlled ones like xanax, for which you need saudi prescription.  Mood stabilizers are also available although lithium stock fluctuates at times.

@Xtang i took 1 month and had no issues, i take lithium and its not on nadhi, which other pharmacies can i check in Tabuk?

XTang

Sorry I noticed that I wrongly put valium whereas I meant lithium.  Lithium supply fluctuates and if available, you can usually find it in the bigger hospitals - check with Sulaiman Habib if there is one in Tabuk.  Usually, here, for mood stabilizers, people generally don't use lithium and instead go for Depakene.
