anyway if you really want to be a fucking retard. instead of doing rilatin, look into smart drugs

oxiracetam
piracetam

supposingly NOT neurotoxic, rilatin is an amphetamine and damages your brain neurons.


if you want a smart drug more similar to rilatin ( that will give you slight addiction and some minor damage ) check out Modafinil


anyway if you use these things you are pretty stupid all in all. I experimented with them. they work however... well...

I've been doing this for years. Massive productivity gains and multiple promotions. Went from smart but poorly motivated and anxious wage cuck to $145k on top of his game Chad.

I call them my witcher's potions.

Adderall + nicotine lozenges titrated through works days for focus and energy.

Racetams, DMEA, l-theanine for focus and mental agility.

Phenibut for my general anxiety in the morning but then beta blockers and a small dose of Klonopin for being a social rockstar in combination with Adderall refreshes.

I had to stop heavy lifting due to the stims, but I do pump work and use SARMs and test gel. This with my appetite suppression lets me keep good mass and 8% bodyfat year round.

Klonopin and diphenhydramine so I sleep 8 hours a night.

Then I finally paid for a stylist and good haircut and got small lifts despite being 5'11.

Went from wage cuck with depression who had fucked 4 girls to manager who has fucked 20+ in 3 years.

I'm a doctor in a governmental clinic in Europe and can just laugh at you retards, honestly. I gave up long ago arguing with dimwits who think "its okay" "just microdose bro" "just two times a week" "just this, just that" "just this low testo dose", thinking you can somehow trick your body into having no toll and justifying everything with your halfassed /fit knowledge but no medical background. So I'll just throw around random insults. Everyone thinks he is the smarter one, he can handle it. It's the biggest fucking business to delude retards like you into thinking you "need" it. You need uppers to get awake and downers to sleep. That this is somehow natural. Instead of just fucking sleeping. Because economy bro.

You're not the exception. Everything takes a toll. Is it worth it? Maybe, if you strike gold as a business owner or in top position, but most likely no, especially for you assholes. In reality most of you dimwits are almost addicts in denial phase. If you have to take it to keep your job performance floating, then you are. Wagecucking for some asshole on drugs is so ultimately stupid, that I'm honestly not sure if 90% of this is just larp. Same with alcohol and caffeine by the way.

In reality, you're just sheep for a big business that is destroying bodies with actually unnecessary products. If your body is tired, it is tired for a reason. If you keep him awake artificially instead of sleeping with random shit, you just drain its max capacity over the years and will result in being a braindead zombie. There's nothing "badass" in being constantly sleep deprived and on meds. It's just what retards do. Also you don't really rest properly when sedated, because you lack most of your REM sleep. Same goes (again) for alcohol and caffeeine. It wrecks your brain on the long run.

Morning anon, I got roped into the sad brains department of big pharma and didn’t get myself a script for Adderall until I got the state testing done for the green light. As you’d expect, it pretty much yielded immediate results and increased dosage effectively ensured my degree as well as the completion of my thesis.

That said I’m aware that the negative side effects seep in long term and would appreciate it if you could share any of what may be left of your yuromed knowledge and sincerity regarding the importance of releasing myself from the bondage of Pfizer & friends. In regards to the SSRIs I’m moderately well informed regarding the repercussions from prolonged experience and associated reading/exposure. If you could give me an idea of the most important/worst long term damage you’ve tried to rationally get across to people hobbling along on their narco crutches that come from using

Ritalin/Vyvanse/XR adderall are all absolute garbage compared to dextroamphetamine/mixed amphetamines. Its extremely easy to abuse because your body wants more and more to get the same feeling you got the first short while you were on them, but you need to find your perfect dosing regimen and never use it when tired. If you are tired, SLEEP. 6 hours of sleep and you will wake up still feeling the adderall once you find your perfect dosing routine. Always have a purpose for taking it. It is absolutely a performance enhancing drug and I have had multiple psychs who all found it to have a positive effect on me. Don't listen to the addicts who say it doesn't give you godlike focus, passion, euphoria if you have adhd, its a fucking central nervous system stimulant, you are going to be enhanced adhd or not. Vyvanse/ritalin have a terrible come down and don't feel as smooth as IR adderall. You have to make your psych feel special, never ask for an adderall script, tell them you had the opportunity to take it but your parents were against it -Adderall lover who has been prescribed it at age 18, am 28 now and still using it and not abusing it. It is a miracle drug if you take it as directed. My personal regimen is 15mg every few hours to keep a nice stable day. I have been prescribed every single add med. This incredibly long post was possible because I just woke up and took 15mg. There aren't many stories like mine because most people who take it need to abuse it to feel high when they can take a lower dose and still have passion/focus. I don't even need benzos and I refuse to take them because they mask side effects that are telling you that you're abusing it.

Studies have shown that stimulants actually help heal the brains of people who have ADHD. This is why they are so effective for them. If you have a normal brain in this regard, then you're messing with your brain in a way that will have negative consequences. Basically if you have a normal brain you don't need these drugs. People who have a medical reason to take those meds need them because it helps them be normal.

I am seriously doubtful of this. I will read the studies if you post them but would be surprised if they showed anything other than "people with brain chemistry like this change their brain chemistry to like this which is closer to the average brain chemistry after taking mind altering drugs." The idea of "normal" brain chemistry is retarded. Biochemically humans are incredibly diverse across perfectly healthy individuals, particularly in the brain department.

E X A C T L Y. When I was first prescribed adderall I felt normal for the first time in my life. It was a life changing experience, I am now able to be normal even if I don't take it because I developed healthy habits when using it which carry over even if you don't take it. For example, I couldn't even hold a conversation or talk to a woman without stuttering at 18. After adderall my mind and body just knew how to talk to women and be charismatic/able to socialize with absolutely anyone. The skills I learned while taking adderall are still a part of me when I dont take it. I learned how to be a social god while on adderall and now it comes naturally whether I take it or not.

Don't worry. They'll burn out and come down just as fast as they went up. Using stimulants is like borrowing time now for time later. You will feel bad for them when they've lost their sex drive, dick doesnt work, voice cracks, and have developed a dependency on alcohol. Days they dont have their stims they wont be able to crawl out of bed and get moving. Just say no.

I’m fairly confident that I actually have the ADHD that I was diagnosed with. My state has some of the strictest controls on amphetamines in Burgerstan and before I’d gone through the months long examination for the Adderall loicense I had been diagnosed by one of my former therapists. Unfortunately I didn’t listen because I was brought up to believe ADD was an over prescribed myth and had a chip on my shoulder from a previous cocktail so I rejected the opportunity to get a script a few years earlier in life.

>>18659387
Can confirm that Adderall is top tier and I certainly owe my recent accomplishments in life to it in large part. However I haven’t really come across any healing effects in regards to shit tier focus without it, just a comparable awareness of my proclivity for constant distractibility without it. The added awareness of these distractions helps to try and strengthen impulse control but the general turbo burn out later in life argument paraded throughout the thread and everywhere else seems to have legitimacy.

the thing is, it deprives you both of sleeping quality. especially caffeine can be tricky. if you use it too late, it disturbs your REM sleep because it has about 5 hours of half-life in your blood. it competitively inhibits your adenosine-receptors. so after 5 hours you still have 50% in your blood and after 10 hours you have 25% in your blood. so even if you sleep 8-9 hours, the quantity is sufficient, but the quality is not, therefore you're not properly rested.
studies show that long term effects over the years will cause decline in memory, focus and also your immune system is suffering, which lowers also natural defenses against cancer, for example.

alcohol will cause you to wake up frequently, even without realizing it, same result.

>>18658829
I can really only put it simple. If you have no medical condition, free yourself in the best way possible. There are countless studies that have very clear unfavorable indications in long term. While you're still young, your body compensates most stuff. Beginning 30-35 things slowly change and how well you are in shape, also mentally, is how well you took care of yourself over the years. I really am sincerely speaking to you, since you seem interested, but usually there is no point in arguing. People need to make their own experiences and have the fruits of their behavior ripened. Unfortunately it is often too late then. Every psychoactive stimulant restructures your neuronal network in the brain after a while and it gets harder and harder.

I'd recommend a self experiment, the on that freed me myself basically, convincing me it is really the better choice. Stay straight edge for a month and see the difference. No alcohol, no caffeine, no other drugs if you don't need to take them. After a while it uplifts your whole perception as a whole, you are permanently as awake and focused as if you would have a whole armada of various substances in your body. It just needs some disciplined, but it is worth it.

That's the thing. I've was living with untreated bipolar and I ended up getting some of those symptoms and worse anyway. I also was in denial that these disorders and meds were a meme and didn't want to be dependent on a drug. But I can attest first hand without them I'm nonfunctional and this shit is real. It's associated with negative outcomes, many end up taking their lives. Same with with ADHD as untreated it's associated with many negative outcomes.

Much obliged anon, the vast majority of my vices and indulgences these days are used almost entirely as crutches to boost productivity and regulate my behavior to ensure that I don’t rustle too many jimmies in public. While I’ve gone over a month without alcohol at numerous points in my life I can’t say that I’ve noticed significant differences while abstaining, I have gone without Adderall for upwards of a week recently but it resulted in significantly hamstrung functioning. However, I cannot comment on a caffeine vacation as I’ve never attempted it.

I appreciate your remarks emphasizing the importance of eliminating caffeine and alcohol based on their effects on sleeping patterns but it’s difficult to prioritize giving them up on this basis as my sleep cycle is already total garbage on its own. Beyond that it’s especially difficult to consider giving up caffeine since I smoked cigarettes for similar reasons and the psychological benefits of quitting nicotine weren’t very apparent (physical benefits were extremely obvious) once I’d gotten over the addiction cravings.
None of this is to diminish your position for going clean, it’s merely a visualization of the immediate attempts made on my part to rationalize continued use of what wakes me up in the morning and keeps me at least mildly on track.

All of this is coming from my attempts to preserve and expand mana reserves. Diet, exercise, and succubui coomer tribute are all at the healthiest levels in my life, I’ll make a point to stop taking shots periodically to boost morale and try to cut off caffeine moving forward. Ik cold turkey is always optimal but I need to employ harm reduction at least as long as this happening drags on.

Unless you have a valid medical diagnosis, that's just not what the research shows:

>However, the effect of dextroamphetamine on performance and on signal change varied across individuals. Dextroamphetamine improved performance only in those subjects who had relatively low working-memory capacity at baseline, whereas in the subjects who had high working-memory capacity at baseline, it worsened performance.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10944409

Which makes sense because if you have a normal functioning brain you don't want to throw it out of balance just like you wouldn't with an antihypertensive on bp, diabetic medication for bg, or thyroid meds on thyroid hormone levels. The physiological effects are well established but weak support at best for neurocognitive performance. Yet all you see in the media and even on wikipedia are the supposed congitive effects being firmly pushed. And it's irresponsible because it is doing a lot of damage to the unsuspecting people who needlessly abuse it.

>News media articles mentioned the possible benefits of using drugs for neuroenhancement more than the potential risks/side effects, and the main source for media claims that neuroenhancement is common and increasingly widespread has been reports from the academic literature that provide weak support for this claim. We urge journalists and researchers to be cautious in their portrayal of the non-medical use of drugs for neuroenhancement.

That's not what the research shows:

Moreover, methylphenidate administration results in physiologic effects that could be harmful to certain individuals.

Amphetamine isn't that terrible for you however you're asking for trouble taking it all the time without subtantial breaks.

I think burnout is probably more of a function of it becoming someone's new normal so life off it feels exhausting and miserable. Plus like test people do it in their twenties and then as they stop at 30 wonder why they feel so much worse than they did naturally at 20. The answer is you're getting older.

The group that thought they took the MPH thought they were more stimulated although there was no performance difference from the control group lol.

>Results revealed that Adderall had minimal, but mixed, effects on cognitive processes relevant to neurocognitive enhancement (small effects), and substantial effects on autonomic responses, subjective drug experiences, and positive states of activated emotion (large effects). Overall, the present findings indicate dissociation between the effects of Adderall on activation and neurocognition, and more importantly, contrary to common belief, Adderall had little impact on neurocognitive performance in healthy college students.

Well depends how you took it. You can burn yourself out on caffeine if you take arrhythmia inducing doses daily.

I take amphetamine about twice a month on average. Sometimes none, sometimes 3x a week sort thing. I've found if anything i have way more daily energy and motivation than i did when i was early twenties and didn't take any. A depressive low energy funk is more mind sapping that any drug you can think of.

Yes, however it works over much longer periods of time. Amphetamines build tolerance like crazy and trying to cut back gives you withdrawal.
Modafinil doesn't have any of these problems if you stick to a low dose and take the weekends off. I've been taking it for 7+ years now and never had to go above 100mg. Most days I stick to 50mg moda + copious coffee.
