They do not help me because I cannot get them. I could if I had the insurance, but my state has made it super expensive, a visit to script writer for every refill, telehealth now forbidden from stimulant scripts.
Is there any herbal or other alternative that does not require a permission slip from our corrupted medical cartel/establishment?
I tried ephedra, too expensive at least for the source I could find, and it was not quite what I was hoping.
I want to try cathinones, khat like stuff, think it is scheduled though and idk about analogues, the related molecules with similar action, feds have some law extending illegality to analogues but idk the details.
What else is there? I feel like I am forgetting one. Best case would be coca leaf, to chew or make tea of. I once found a few places selling, it was expensive though, and that was before search engines further enshitified removing such results that are undesirable to authorities.
One site said feds do not hassle just the leaf vendors after it is inside the country.
I'm sorry :(
What about Atomoxetine? Is that also super restricted? If not and if you can get your hands across the generic ones it should make you feel better.
I am assuming you are from the US, and I cannot speak fot the US. But here in Australia you can get generic version of Concerta, that also wouldn't be a bad option, I guess.
Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks for the tips I will lokk into both concerta and atomoxetine both are new to me. I really appreciate the tips, yes in the US.
Also note Atomoxetine is the name of drug, where as concerta is the brand name. The drug name for Concerta is Methylphenidate.
