Not ADHD, but y’all really should start asking doctors for prescriptions and stop asking the internet. This goes for any illness.
The problem is most doctors don’t have experience with any of these medications. Going to folks who have experience isn’t a terrible idea. As long as you know to do additional validation and talk with your doctor. I never would’ve heard of vyvanse if not for folks online.
In an ideal world they should, but not everyone is privileged to have affordable or state sponsored healthcare, especially for mental health
