Getting a Vyvanse prescription in HK as a foreigner with an existing Australian diagnosis?

I'm a few weeks into a 3.5-month internship in Hong Kong. I'm from Australia, where I've been diagnosed with ADHD, and I brought roughly a 2-month supply of Vyvanse with me. Unfortunately, I miscalculated how many pills I'd need, and at this rate I'll run out a few weeks early.

Does anyone have insight into whether it's possible to get prescribed Vyvanse as a foreigner in Hong Kong? My doctor back home can provide a letter, and I have copies of my prescriptions with me.

From what I understand, GPs here can theoretically prescribe Vyvanse but are extremely unlikely to do so in practice. The other route I've found is getting assessed by a local psychiatrist, but that seems expensive and like far more effort than it's worth for a few weeks' supply.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
