Carry-on bag question

[tinydancer]

I haven't flown in over a year, and not since all the new regulations. I know I have to put makeup and toiletries in a zip-lock bag, and they can only be a certain size.

What about prescription medications? Do they have to be in their original bottles? Previously, I put them in a little divided container - one space for each day. It sure takes up less room than 6 pill bottles, but I don't want to get in a jam when I get to the security line at the airport.
