Tooting this because there is a lot of misinformation and outdated information out there, and that page is kind of hard to find.
TL;DR psychotropics like lorazepam are okay up to a maximum total amount, without any documentation. Concerta/Ritalin is considered a psychotropic and likewise is perfectly okay up to a maximum without any docs (or more with docs/permission). Vyvanse is also allowed but considered a stimulant and requires special permission for any quantity. Adderall is banned and highly illegal, don't even think about that one.
