Or perhaps to its widespread use as a stimulant for narcolepsy sufferers - which is clearly what the app's name is alluding to.

It's like banning an app called fertilizer because fertilizer can be used to make bombs.

Great and extremely apt analogy!

Apologies, where I come from this is not a common treatment for ADHD. I’m not a specialist but as a father of two lively boys I did my share of reading about diagnosing and treating ADHD in Europe.

I apologize if I'm misunderstanding your comment. But just to help others avoid confusion, ADHD isn't the same as being extra energetic.

Vyvanse was approved in Europe ~5+ years ago and is a hugely successful and widely used product.

What drugs are, according to your reasearch, widely used in Europe? Here in Canada, Amphetamines are widespread, from Vyvanse to Adderall to Evekeo.

Ritalin is the dominant drug in that regard, and while it is very similar in every respect, it is not amphetamine-the-substance nor, I believe, technically in the class of substances also referred to as amphetamines.

(someone stated that amphetamines are now available in the EU market. But, if so, it's likely that few people will know, mostly because discussions of ADHD have somewhat faded)

It is, they just call it something else like Adderall, Evekeo or whatever.

And adults as well
