Are there any prescriptions / medications for adult ADHD in Poland?

What options do I have for medication for ADHD in Poland? I know the stimulants prescribed in the U.S. are illegal, so do they prescribe anything in Poland? And what they'll need from me before prescribing it? I've heard that they do and that they don't from different people, but not from anyone who can give me any specific answers.

I'm trying to figure out if I should try to go through the process of seeing what I can do in Poland, or just make regular trips to the closest country I can find that can prescribe them, and travel there a couple times a year. I can't afford to fly back and forth between the U.S. and Poland to get my prescription filled.

I think you will find it very very hard to find anyone to prescribe anything for ADHD in Poland. From what I have heard from North American friends is that they are much more likely to prescribe treatments instead. Getting something like adderall is like like getting a free pass to the cocaine clinic.

Take a letter from your doctor back home explaining your diagnosis and treatment regime, take it to the right doctor here and they can doubtless prescribe something.

I have a friend from Canada who tried to do that and the doctor said that it doesn't mean anything and she would have to be examined here and treated as they see fit. This was in both private healthcare facilities and NFZ.

I have private healthcare insurance here with luxmed and i go tell the doctor what i want and he writes a script i have built up a big supply of OxyContin with the right doctor anything is possible

Merged: ADHD medications in Poland?

Hello!

I couldn't find much information about this topic online so I'm posting here. I'm hoping to visit Poland this summer to learn the language. I live in the United States and am currently prescribed Adderall. So I'm wondering, is it illegal to take Adderall into Poland? Are there any other ADHD medications (like Ritalin or Vyvanse) that are legal there? How about modanafinil/Provigil?

Thanks a bunch!

If you have a formal prescription from a US doctor I don't see why they should be illegal in Poland. There are many expats/retired Polish-Americans living in Poland and they get to see doctors too. It may happen you won't be able to get exactly the same name of the drug, but in fact it could be the same chemical compound but have a different name in Poland / Europe ;). It's important that you bring the original prescription from your US doctor so that the Polish one matches the same according to PL standards.

An old thread, however the US Embasy might be able to help him.

May I ask who your doctor is? I use private docs but many are hesitant to write "rpw" prescriptions.

May I ask what doctor (not to abuse & I have proof from my U.S doc that I need it). It would be greatly appreciated. I pay cash but i might also have LuxMed soon.

The poster you're talking to hasn't posted for eight years so he's not likely to reply. You don't need a Luxmed subscription package to use their services. You can just make an appointment and that would be the best thing for you to do. I don't know what the poster duckduckgoose meant by building up a big supply. I presume he meant that he doesn't take his meds regularly but hoards them for future possible use. However doctors will only prescribe for up to three months supply of drugs as a rule.

If you have a PESEL number you could try using an E-Recepta service. You complete a medical history form and a doctor checks it, maybe sends you some further questions and will then prescribe for you.
