Check with people you know who have scripts. Not to get them to share, but to find out who their doctors are. Sorry in advance if you love in a red state where ADHD is a hoax and all you need is jeebus. That doesn’t make it hopeless, just means you have to be more persistent.
Treating the depression is probably easier. Your primary care doctor can probably get you started on something.
We don’t even have instant release Adderall in Canada only Adderall XR. The only instant release amphetamine we have is dextroamphetamine instant release and almost no doctors or psychiatrist prescribed it anynore. Everyone gets Vyvanse or Concerta or other long acting meds.
Also no Canadian doctor will prescribe to an American who is just visiting. Getting ADHD meds in Canada generally requires a psychiatrist visit and we have long wait times or a family doctor that knows your history well enough to do a trial run on meds. Walk in clinics won’t prescribe ADHD meds
Again this is a moot point since no doctor in Canada will prescribe these meds to someone who doesn’t live here
