I'm going on a trip next week. My medication isn't like life or death(insulin), but I need to take a few pills twice a day. I mean, I can put it in my check-in bag, I just wonder about the chances of my bag getting lost. I guess my question is how big of a pain in the butt is it to bring pills with you in your carry-on? Do you need to show prescriptions for all of them? And how likely is it, if I put my medication in my checked-in bag, that my bag then gets lost and I'm without my pills?

You may bring all prescription and over-the-counter medications (liquids, gels, and aerosols) for medical purposes.
You are not limited in the amount or volume of these items you may bring in your carry-on baggage. BUT if the medically necessary items exceed 3 ounces or are not contained in a one-quart, zip-top plastic bag, you MUST declare it to one of the Security Officers at the checkpoint for further inspection. As far as non liquid...just pack it like you normally would in your carry on. You do not have to declare it.

If you have medication, take it with you in your carry-on. Medication is fine. Pills are pills. They aren't on the prohibited items list (of ANY country that I've ever been to), and they shouldn't be any problem. Keep your medication with you. You probably won't even need to show it to airport security.

You should pack them in your carry-on, but in their original packaging, with the brand name and the chemical name on it, with a sticker with your name, your doctors name and your pharmacies name and address. (If that is where you get them.)
And you need to take a doctors declaration that they are medicines and that you need them.
Even when they are over the counter medicines, when you go abroad they might be forbidden drugs. (Not all but some medicines.)
And take a prescription with you, packed in a different bag, so that if something happens to your bag, you can get new pills.

It seems that everything you describe is in pill form. Just leave inside your carry-on bag when submitting it through x-ray.

You should put all your meds in your carry-on. Make sure they are in their own ziplock baggy. Also make sure they have the original labels on them and not some plastic container you dumped them in. I have seen some people go through security at the airport and had un-labeled meds in their carry-on. They made them dump them all out.
