People take amphetamines for fun? In this economy?? With a shortage going on????
It's really cheap in Europe and typically the drug of choice for many party situations.
I often forget that they have a different effect on the unafflicted.
You take amphetamines to make your brain work at 200% output. I take amphetamines to keep my brain distracted so everything else can work properly. We are not the same.
I feel like it's more like getting the straw closer to the bottom of the dopamine barrel.
If you took a much larger dose than is normally prescribed, you would probably feel it too.
That sounds exhausting.
I do take my meds for social events, because I'm tired of zoning out during conversation all the time lmao
But yeah, it's not something I would take for "the buzz". I think that might just stress me out.
I mean, ADHD doesn't just disappear on weekends, so that's fair.
Seriously though, everyone just expects me to perform well at uni and work, but what about my hobbies? My personal projects? It's affecting me there, too
With ADHD, you'd have to take a lot for a buzz. Although when I first started Adderall, I had euphoria for the first two weeks.
