Wow, so...they just don't treat ADHD over there?
Of course they do. They just don't allow Adderall because it contains amphetamine.
Just Adderall? Or all ADHD meds?
Intuniv, Strattera, Concerta, and Vyvanse can be prescribed for ADHD in Japan. Ritalin is also available but not for ADHD, though travelers can bring a maximum of 2.16g of methylphenidate.

Vyvanse is permitted. You need to apply for pre-authorization to bring it.
