Hello there, so I am in the country where there is basically only one drug methylphenidate available and even that on a good day and queues to get it and make appointment to the super expensive PRIVATE psych are several months.

Hence I decide I am gonna screw that and opt for a FOSS DIY ADHD therapy pathway.

I am already doing one medical thing pure DIY out of similar reasons, ordering substrates from China. But the difference here is that they aren't outright illegal substances.

I can't wait however for who knows if there will be or won't be, I need the good stuff now and I need the proper dosage and a treatment plan. Links. Information. Papers. What to check beforehand. Which blood tests or screenings to perform. What to monitor during the treatment. Finally I need advise for procurement of the medicine and its proper forms in Eastern Europe.

I know the risks but I figure that life good lived is worth them generally as I am unable to fulfill any and all deadlines that are such an essential part of our society. I am ready to expose myself to a reasonable level of risk in exchange for an actual life.

Maybe consider some nootropics? There are a few peptides that are available that have shown results for ADHD like Semax.
