Hi! I’m a university student from the US studying in Tokyo and I need to find a doc to prescribe me my ADHD medicine. I've been doing a lot of research on Reddit and online but most of the doctors/companies I can find, either don't take National Health Insurance, have terrible reviews (Berger😬), or aren't accepting new patients. I know in the US you don't have to be a psychiatrist to prescribe ADHD medication but I'm not sure if that's the case in Japan. I just need someone who can speak English and who takes National Health Insurance to prescribe me the medication my psychiatrist back home gives me.
Preferably I want to find a doc who won’t make me get reassessed, cause apparently some do and I don’t have the mental energy for all that.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I take Concerta. I switched meds knowing I wouldn’t be able to get my old ones in Japan.
