Amphetamine not licensed in the UK
Details
Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts) is not a licensed medication in the UK. Amphetamines are Class B controlled substances under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Import requires a Home Office license, which is extremely difficult to obtain for personal use. UK doctors prescribe lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse/Vyvanse) instead.
