Getting Medicine in Japan

I am beginning my move to Japan in April (2 years of language school, then to University etc.) and am super excited to go. However I have really bad ADHD and I was talking to my psychaitrist today when he mentioned how it is difficult to get stimulants in Japan. After looking into it I have been getting pretty stressed out. I need ADHD meds in order to be able to study and focus for long periods, and if I can’t get them I don’t think I will be able to learn enough. I know they have a few other options there (that are difficult to get) but most of those meds upset my stomache. I have tried pretty much every ADHD med and Vyvanse is one of the only ones that don’t make me super nauseous. I was diagnosed when I was really young but only started Vyvanse a few months ago. I was previously on Methylphenadate. Is there any chance or way I can get Vyvanse in Japan because if not im not really sure what I will do.
