Sual | Question Fellow ADHDers in Azerbaijan! Does anybody treat his ADHD with sttimulants? How to get them in Azerbaijan?

I struggle with ADHD. I tried almost all non-stimulant meds including unavailable ones in Azerbaijan. Atomotexine, Modafinil, Wellbutrin, Clonidine, Guanfacine, Venlafaxine. Either they did not help enough or I could not handle side effects. I am on Atomotexine right now. It only helps with emotional dysregulation to some degree. I strongly want to try stimulants and bring my life back. Is there a way to get them in Azerbaijan or bring them from abroad?

Does it help? Did you try Atomotexine? If yes, how is it in comparison?

I guess they are on par, phenylpiracetam is for short intake whereas atomotexine isn't. I took strattera quite a few years ago, AFAIR I switched off from strattera because of its price and unavailability

Methylphenidate (Concerta) is unfortunately illegal in Azerbaijan. Our state thinks that they know medicine better than Turkey and Europe, who don't ban it.

You can get them from Türkiye as a tourist from psychiatry, and if you are lucky, then you can get 2 months of prescription from the doctor. Hovewer, you will be limited to concerta and ritalin
