Well, methamphetamine is very rarely (never?) prescribed for ADHD. Ritalin is methylphenidate.
Adderall works on some kind of amphetamine. That‘s prescribed much more often in the states. In EU land I‘ve never seen the hard stuff.

Edit: Elvance apparently has Amphetamin in it as well and I‘ve seen it in the wild here too.

Hahahahaha, I wish, but no. That's not how it works.

I take Adderall and literally fall asleep because it lets my brain shut down. It _decreases_ my anxiety.

I don't get high or hyper off of it, it literally just lets me function enough to do my laundry. It's honestly like wearing glasses.
