Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

You have been diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit disorder) and were put on Concerta. Concerta is amphetamine drug and the drug helps to reduce the symptoms of inattention and impulsivity. But the drug was stopped because of cost issues. You also have major problems in staying focussed. Vyvanse is also an amphetamine drug and you can't procure the drug by online prescription. Other drugs like Attentrol, Clonidine, Risperidone etc can be used in such symptoms. These drugs will also not add much to cost and are better alternative than Concerta. These drugs are also free of abuse potential and can be taken without any fear.

Visit a psychiatrist for prescription.

Thanks, hope this helps you
