MODERATORS
I live in Asia, specifically Pakistan, and ADHD meds are not easy to come by here. I live in the biggest city and only know two stores which sell locally manufactured methylphenidate (aka Ritalin).
I am sorry for your trouble. I am wondering if it's as regulated as here?
For example, here in Greece the government health organisation controls the stock of ADHD meds (Concerta, Ritalin and Strattera only) and decides which pharmacies receive deliveries and when.
I think in France they must have 2 months of production in advance. I read that somewhere.
Yep it's more or less the same situation.
