TL;DR
A reasonable personal supply of medicine and vitamins for your own use is normally fine to bring in — reports of confiscation usually involve people carrying excessive quantities, not medication itself.
If you're bringing medication, stick to a reasonable personal supply — customs generally doesn't question personal-use amounts, issues arise mostly when people carry excessive quantities.
All medications have an expiration date — before stocking up, think about whether you actually need the drug and how often you'll use it, so you're not carrying more than necessary.
Avoid buying something like 20 packs of a single medication with only a one-year shelf life — that kind of quantity is excessive and unnecessary for a typical trip.
