If you stick with generic names, these are the same all over the world, so you should be able to find what you want if you use generic names.

Ambien is zolpidem.
Ritalin is methylyphenidate.
Adderall is a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine.

I assume the zolpidem is over the counter. I am not sure about the other two. Since generic Ambien (zolpidem) is inexpensive here in the U.S., I would assume it is inexpensive in Mexico as well.

Guadalajara Pharmacia on Insurgentes in Old Town is a nice place to shop and big. There are many pharmacies all over the place.

See if they have generic Ambien (zolpidem) as it should be much cheaper than 75 cents a tablet.

Ambien CR does not come in generic yet.
