A member asked:

What medication can i use for adhd that is available in local pharmacies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NOT CERTAIN: One should ask what kind of medication will actually work, and i know of no over the counter ones. However a doctor can prescribe appropriate medication and proper dosage: a pharmacy should be able to fill it.
