ADHD person here, who lived in 6 countries, including the US (the other 5 are Russia, Italy, Denmark, Spain, and Switzerland). Getting ADHD stimulant medications is way easier in the US than elsewhere. Here in Switzerland, for example, adult ADHD was even started to be recognized only since 2011. No immediate release formulations are legal here, only extended release. Even though Novartis, a Swiss company, is the producer of Ritalin. You can't get Ritalin in Switzerland, as it is an immediate release drug. In Russia, _all_ stimulant drugs are banned (and ADHD usually is not even recognized as a valid diagnosis). As is you can get to prison there if you take your Ritalin with you.
