There are non-stimulant ADHD meds as well. Most of us don't get a chance to try all of them.
In fact, I was surprised to learn that Adderall is highly illegal in many countries, including Japan and South Korea(), both of which have a higher standard of healthcare, and a much longer life expectancy, than the US does. In other words, they're not anti-health.
() In theory, you can bring Adderall into South Korea with your American prescription. In practice, not really.
