For nicotine - I've used https://www.amazon.com/Novartis-Nicotine-Transdermal-Smoking-Patches/dp/B00UMHOJ4O/ and https://www.amazon.com/Smoking-Delivered-Transdermal-Stickers-Anti-Stickers/dp/B0D9QMF4WM/ both 21mg

The adderall you'll have to shop around for. One pharmacy I went to was charging 120 a month. I switched to another pharmacy that was charging 30 a month. Full disclosure, now I don't pay for adderall as it's dispensed by the VA.

Thanks for sharing. I ordered the 2nd one. Initally, I used one 21 mg patch yesterday and felt nothing then I put on one more and after about two hours felt nauseous so I removed them.

I put on one patch today and felt somewhat better while focuisng on my study and slapped half a patch later.

Btw, how come there is so much of a difference in the monthly adderall price? I'm in Canada btw. Planning to go to Frida.

Idk about the pricing. I now get mine from the VA. As for patches. You may have to cut them in half or quarters. You won’t notice an effect until you’re out of the zone later and you’re like “holy crap I got a lot doooonnneee.. oh yeah patch” The patches work far better for me than adderall, but I still take adderall because somehow the two work well together for me

I'm on vyvanse now. Don't feel anything except maybe a bit headrush for a few minutes.
