We don’t even have instant release Adderall in Canada only Adderall XR. The only instant release amphetamine we have is dextroamphetamine instant release and almost no doctors or psychiatrist prescribed it anynore. Everyone gets Vyvanse or Concerta or other long acting meds.

Also no Canadian doctor will prescribe to an American who is just visiting. Getting ADHD meds in Canada generally requires a psychiatrist visit and we have long wait times or a family doctor that knows your history well enough to do a trial run on meds. Walk in clinics won’t prescribe ADHD meds

Again this is a moot point since no doctor in Canada will prescribe these meds to someone who doesn’t live here

They’re both long-acting forms of methylphenidate. Ritalin, Concerta, and Ritalin LA are all different versions of the same molecule - methylphenidate

It’s been like this in some online communities since mIRC was popular. mIRC was not user friendly and people had to know how to access it, change servers, use commands. This seemed simple to me back then but most of my friends could not be bothered.

With Meta’s slop, TikTok, and Reddit being so easy people rarely step outside those bubbles anymore.
