I am from Brazil, here Adderall got banned because medics were abusing it.
Long story short: Adderall has a side effect of making people lose weight. Didn't took long for Endocrinologists to start to "diagnose" ADHD and give Adderall like candy... Government couldn't find a way to fix that behaviour and decided to just ban it outright.
To be honest, despite the fact I have hypothyroidism alongside ADHD, I hate endocrionologists, I NEVER (really) met one that is 100% honest, they are always doing shady shit, never saw a medical branch so riddled with corruption and shenanigans.
