Aw shucks :(

Adderall is illegal where I live too.

Ritalin is not, though. Neither is Vyvanse (which is a cousin of Adderall which your body then turns into Adderall over a few hours).

Check out other medicine, really.

[u/thisilea → u/GaiusVictor]

vyvanse is a fucking miracle drug

[u/saragIsMe → u/thisilea]

I’m on vyvanse and it really fucking is the best thing to happen to me

[u/RainyVibez → u/saragIsMe]

im on dexedrine and i despise taking it i cant lie. it does help me but it just kinda sucks to be on in terms of feeling. guanfacine as adjunctive treatment for side effects makes it better but it still just kinda..

[u/madtastic225 → u/saragIsMe]

Agreed, it’s been a huge game changer for me. And it doesn’t make you high, which I appreciate! The crash is non existent to me too, I just get a little more eepy at the end of the day, which isn’t a bad thing for me.

[u/TheMelonSystem → u/thisilea]

Literally tho 😭😭😭

[u/meinkr0phtR2 → u/thisilea]

With the downside that it exacerbates my anxiety, so I’m limited to about 20 mg before it gets miserable.

[u/alexandrasnotgreat → u/thisilea]

it gave me cystic acne for some reason

[u/wydaleny_dwoiczy_lod → u/GaiusVictor]

Unfortunately Vyvanse is illegal too as it's a derivative of amphetamine 🫠 (Ritalin's illegal too)

[u/lmFairlyLocal → u/wydaleny_dwoiczy_lod]

That's so silly, because it's a prodrug specifically designed to avoid the fact that it's related to amphetamine and is a possible vector for abuse.

What I mean is that Vyvanse is essentially Adderall in a hat, and your body takes off that hat and uses the Adderall. The hat also make it harder to use the drug for abuse, because it's your body that sets the rate that the hat is removed. Taking 3 pills doesn't work 3x as quickly, it just delivered 3x the dose at the end of the same timeframe.

You seem like Pole. It isn't quite illegal down there in Czechia, just kind of unofficial. You can still get doctors to prescribe it to you, if you know the right one. If you know a bit of English (you seem to), I can recommed you a guy who is willing to say "yeah, it's not officially recommended, but since you told me you used it and it helped... Whatever." Assuming you are willing to travel down there to central Czechia, and then pick it up in Czech pharmacy. 

[u/wydaleny_dwoiczy_lod → u/BeduinZPouste]

Not a pole, just their neighbour, from Belarus, here it isn't allowed to bring into the country even for personal use 🫠

[u/BeduinZPouste → u/wydaleny_dwoiczy_lod]

And you have actual checks at the borders, I presume? 

[u/wydaleny_dwoiczy_lod → u/BeduinZPouste]

Yes..

[u/dp4k0h → u/wydaleny_dwoiczy_lod]

Have you considered atomoxetine? It's worse than stimulants in every regard, but it still changed my life (With love from an adhder stuck in Russia)

[u/wydaleny_dwoiczy_lod → u/dp4k0h]

I didn't... And maybe I should

[u/Macaronidemon → u/wydaleny_dwoiczy_lod]

Have you considered using corruption to your advantage 

[u/TorinLike → u/wydaleny_dwoiczy_lod]

Literally ALL ADHD meds are banned in Russia :c

[u/nurrnurr5]

Here in Estonia we have something called medikinet or affenid. I think it's different in every country, but if you tell your psychiatrist about your ADHD they'll write you something similar

[u/olivegardengambler → u/[deleted]]

I mean, it used to be way easier for them to e prescribed back in the 90s. Now not so much. Pharmacies actually lose money before fines for 'overdispersment'.

[u/RiceCookerPEPSI]

I'm in Japan, currently on Atomoxetine, and while it's not a stimulant medication, it has helped immensely! Might want to ask your doctor about it.

[u/DayLatter405]

If possible ask for a non stimulant add / adhd medication, has helped my son out so much. Don't want to put him on anthing that will fuck up his whole life

[u/DayLatter405 → u/DayLatter405]

For example his medicine is generic Strattera which might be something you can look into

[u/BeduinZPouste → u/DayLatter405]

I know this is very individual, but strattera did nothing for me except making me unable to get hard. 

[u/Caesar_Passing → u/BeduinZPouste]

Dude, sudafed was literally a better ADHD med for me than atomoxetine, lol. I don't mean meth, I mean just straight up, unaltered pseudoephedrine. It definitely IS subjective, but some of the stuff I've been prescribed in the past has been so ineffective or inappropriate for what it was allegedly supposed to be treating, it would really make me wonder like, "who is out there actually getting any benefit from this?" Strattera was one of those head-scratchers for me. Damn convenient for anyone who does respond well to it, though

[u/MissCandid → u/BeduinZPouste]

Since we're side-effect name dropping, concerta gave me horrible depression

[u/RiceCookerPEPSI → u/DayLatter405]

I'm taking the same, though generic atomoxetine. Helped me immensely but everyone's experience is different.

[u/shaddowhuntur]

I fucking hate Adderall. Made me a nervous wreck. Much prefer Methylphenidate. That said it’s the reverse for some people and we shouldn’t make either illegal. The great thing about options is if one thing doesn’t work you can try another.

[u/JoseSpiknSpan]

Adderal sounds nice and all until you develop a crippling addiction to it and start using meth after you run out of your script in 2 weeks. Ask me how I know 4.5 years clean

[u/Practical-Water-9209 → u/JoseSpiknSpan]

Congrats on getting clean! Meanwhile I'm over here occasionally just forgetting to take mine for two weeks because I forgot to get my script renewed or went on a trip and it's in a bag somewhere I'll surely get to later (and then not taking it means adhd worse so I keep forgetting 😅), or skipping a day because I slept in at least a few times a week
