Getting my prescriptions there as an American
I will be doing a one-year MSc there starting this September.
I have ADHD, I am medicated for it (methylphenidate), and from what information I have managed to gather about the NHS, registering with a local GP would have a wait time longer than the duration of my degree. Since I already have a diagnosis, I'm hoping the process would be easier, but also some people say that sometimes UK practitioners do not accept ADHD diagnoses from the US since they're 'handed out too liberally'.
I suppose my question is if anyone else has gone through this process and can share some advices? What exactly should I do and how long should I expect to wait for? Please help, I'm not sure how I would survive my degree unmedicated, and a private clinic is way beyond my budget
