> So if you don’t have an addictive personality & can control yourself, prescribed methamphetamine (Desoxyn, not sure if a generic exists) Methamphetamine is legally available by prescription in the US, but in many other countries that is not true. Here in Australia, it is technically legal to prescribe, but effectively unavailable, because no pharmaceutical company is authorised to sell it. (It is unclear to me if that is because the government refuses to authorise it, or merely that no company thinks the potential revenue is sufficient to justify the hassle of seeking that authorisation.) Even in the US, from what I hear, many refuse to prescribe it at all, or only do so sparingly, because (apparently) the DEA likes to give methamphetamine prescribers extra "attention". Methylphenidate (Ritalin/Concerta/etc) is notably absent from your list. I've heard claims (not sure how true they are) that methylphenidate has less neurotoxicity than amphetamines. Related compounds to (racemic) methylphenidate include dexmethylphenidate and serdexmethylphenidate (a prodrug, as lisdexamfetamine/Vyvanse is). Other drugs I know of that are sometimes used for ADHD include guanfacine, clonidine, modafinil, armodafinil, atomoxetine (Strattera), bupropion (Wellbutrin) and phentermine (usually prescribed as a weight-loss drug, but has been used off-label for ADHD).
