I got diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. And my doc first recommended atomoxetine saying it's safer than stimulants.

But then some things went wrong in my personal life and I went back to doc, he ran some cardiac tests and finally gave me methylphenidate. Been taking it for 4 days now but I am not sure if anything is happening.

I've read it changing lives of other ADHDers and I had a lot of hope especially on the stimulant. But so far I don't feel it doing anything. I am even taking atomoxetine too as the doc said.

What should I do?

Adderall in any form isn't legal (even for medical use) in my goddamn country.

    There might be a valid point here, what I use is dextramphetamines by another brand name. In EU countries where its not available and some other countries it might be possible to get it legally imported by the pharmacies.
    The other one I use and might be worth looking into is bupropion, it's mostly classified as an antidepressant, so might be easier to get.
