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.

Meth is cheap and plentiful. What shortage?

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.

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.

Man, those were the days. When high school was absolutely engaging, even in my hard classes.

I didn't mind the side effect, but being able to focus so much better, and actually having the motivation to do things I want to do is euphoric enough

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
