Dear All,

I have been treated for ADHD for 13 years abroad and recently moved to Ontario.

I have ran out of my medication and urgently seek advice on where and how to find a specialist who can prescribe me Ritalin based on medical records from Germany in Toronto / Vaughan.

I do not even know where to start.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Even though you have copies of your medical records from your doctor in your previous country . You need to be prepared for a new doctor wanting a diagnosis in your new country.

It would be a good idea for you to read the laws in Canada and the area you live in regarding the prescribing and dispensing of Ritalin and similar drugs. In the US, Ritalin and other stimulants are Schedule II drugs and have strict federal and state laws regarding their prescribing and dispensing. Have you looked into Telemedicine? You may or may not be able to receive a prescription from a doctor online. Again, you need to check Canada and your areas laws governing the prescribing on Ritalin and similar drugs online. If it is allowed, Be sure you verify the site is legitimate.

Not what you're looking for?
