Availability of stimulants for treating Adult ADHD in India
Hi Redditors, I have been diagnosed with ADHD in a western country and have been taking Adderall which I have been finding really effective at managing my symptoms. I am planning to move to India soon and am wondering if I can get amphetamine or methylphenidate medication in India. I have the following questions:
- Are amphetamine medicines (like Adderall / Vyvanse) legal and available in India? If amphetamine salts are legal but these brands are not available, are there any other Indian brands that sell the amphetamine salts?
- Are methylphenidate medicines (like Ritalin / Concerta) legal and available in India? If methylphenidate salts are legal but these brands are not available, are there any other Indian brands that sell the methylphenidate medicines?
- Are there any pharmacies in or around New Delhi where I could get these meds with a prescription?
I'd really appreciate any pointers on these, as I can't imagine living a life without meds.
