Not exactly banned.. i mean they are still used in children with adhd... but once you reach 18 or so it's bye bye to those meds. It's not really accepted in australia that adult adhd exists or that stimulants are needed for any adult conditions.. the exact laws vary between each state though but are close to the same.
Other problems i've come accross is how reluctant doc's are to try out of the ordinary things... i mean i couldn't even find a pdoc that would use T3 as an augmenter.. apparently there is one in the mainland that does but i don't have the money to go up there. Dopamine agonists are another thing you'd be lucky to get... i did manage to show my doc evidence about selegiline being used as an AD and he gave me the option to try it but i never went ahead because it cost a bit of money.
