Is ritalin over the counter in Italy?

Question

I really doubt it, but I want to know what kind of restrictions they have on it.

Answer 1

I don't think. I'm italian and I've never heard a medicine called ritalin here.

Answer 2

It's not over the counter in any country--my husband works for the manufacturer and I asked him. some countries don't require that you see a psychiatrist, but you must at least visit a family doctor. Or in some parts of Asia, talk at length with the pharmacist.
