I think I came across a source of Adderall, but as I was mainly looking for Ritalin I didn't make a note of it! Bummer...
I managed to get my son prescribed Ritalin for ADHD within 1 week by going to a private consultant in the UK. Like you say, for adults it's not so easy. I have quite a good Pdoc who hasn't ruled out stimulants, but wants to try conventional things first, to see if my concentration/attention problems are just due to depression (I don't think so, I've always had them). I'm going on sertraline (Zoloft) next, but have to wait 4 weeks for selegeline to wash out (my fault - I got that from the internet w/o prescription...)
I take it you're in the UK too?? How did you get on with your trial of stimulants?
Best wishes
