When I moved here I had been taking Adderall for five years. I was happy with the effects and felt it let me 'keep up' with the pace of my demanding job in the States. It wasn't available here, and after talking with a doctor and researching mail options, I decided to try to stop taking it. I tapered down to only 10 and then 5 mg a day. I finally ran out and stopped taking it last August. That first month I was really sleepy and lazy.
It's been over a year without adderall. I feel normal. I'm back to the slightly less intense, absent-minded person I was before the adderall, and I feel like a better woman for it. Unlike the States, in my humble opinion, Argentina is not as intense a culture when it comes to perfectionism and high intensity focus - things adderall assists with. In the States, many of my friends and coworkers took adderall, while here society has chosen to forbid it.
I choose the Argentine cultural norm regarding my pharmaceuticals, and besides that one groggy month, haven't looked back since.
Whatever you decide to do, good luck.
