I've been working in the tech industry since 2000. Worked at three startups between 2002 and 2007. One of those startups went IPO and I was sleeping under my desk pulling 18 hour days trying to push through UAT and major releases.

We all did this without aderall or any other drugs. All we had was Red Bull and coffee. It's utterly pathetic you all can't function without aderall. This isn't "adaptation." It's sad and not sustainable, is what it is. I work with a lot of people in the tech industry today who use aderall and most of them are a mess. They produce, but they are a mess otherwise.
What is pathetic is that you don't understand then, about adhd. I can do what you stated and I have done big days like that. To be ignorant of something is forgiven, to be stupid and make blanket statements about people shows your stupidity off. I can get by without it. I did for 25 years. I still skip a week sometimes intentionally to lose tolerance. I am in charge. But it is magical when I need it and I get shit done.

Maybe you should try being in charge of your mouth and brain, it would look better for you.

You're just being an egotistical holier than thou jerkwad.

I'm also in the tech industry. The hours can be absolutely insane! I've worked many 24 hour sessions, and one that I won't tell you how long it was because it's crazy, all without drugs. Just Mountain Dew, and occasionally Guarana.
But, I figured out 6 years ago, at 54 years old, that I have ADHD.
There are 8 types of ADHD. Some respond to stimulants. For some, stimulants make things worse. I'm in that category. I have to watch out for too much of any type of stimulant, even Vitamin B-12, and the ginseng that is in most multivitamins.
Cardio helps everyone with ADHD for some reason.
To figure out what type you have, look up Dr. Amen. He has a free test, that'll tell you which type.

I wouldn't use Adderall, unless I needed it medically. If you don't need it for a medical condition, it's cheating, the same as using steroids.

When I win, I want those plastic trophies to mean something Smile .

Lots of holier-than-thou comments in here. Any of you bother reading the thread or just spout of when you saw the thread title? Nobody advocated using it recreationally. And to the big tough guys, yes some people need medication on a daily basis and take it responsibility. Not everyone is such a bad ass like you are and just sucks it up and plows through life

It is completely ridiculous you are asking people's opinions of Aderall on a public motorcross-focused forum.

Aderall use is rampant. You young kids are going to be f-ed when you actually have to function and produce without the use of a performance enhancing drug.

Odd this thread is allowed to stick around given the normal nazi content moderation around here.

Sad times we live in.
It's a completely relevant topic here on this forum. I haven't seen anything controversial or illegal being mentioned by people that know a thing or two about it.

In this thread I've seen people give out solid advice (like questioning a prescribed high dosage), what may or may not work for themselves or others, and the potential side effects.

One of the things doctors will consider during a diagnosis is a history of "risk seeking" behaviour. Now, what sport do we love that is considered risk seeking? There is a biological chemical reason why people with ADD/ADHD tend to seek out activities like this. So yeah, something that I'm sure many here are afflicted with and are properly medicated for belongs here.
I don't know anyone that has a prescription that abuses it. They only take it when they know they are going to need it, like a big day at work. Typically aren't taking it on weekends etc.

I'm 38. Found out this year that I most likely have ADD. I fit in to a text book definition, and way back from primary school right through high school I had certain struggles. Eventually, I learned how to work with my brain and cope. One of the typical coping mechanisms is having things done in certain way every single time. Things being placed in exact locations etc. Sounds like OCD right? Well, in the case of someone like me, that would be a wrong diagnosis, as I need the organization so I don't miss or forget something, where as someone with OCD has to have things perfect for no reason... It's in the title. So, while you, "old timer", think it's a new phenomena, it's actually something that has been around forever, it is just now being properly diagnosed and differentiated from other forms of disorders.

My last girlfriend was diagnosed during our relationship. As she was going through the stages of diagnoses, I started to do some reading about it... And through that, saw so many aspects of my struggles mentioned. My mom and sister have been diagnosed, and genetics is an indicating factor.
So, as a "trial" I took a small dose of vyvanse. And it was a huge change for me. The day I took it, I had to get things done, and for once I was focused on the task. I didn't have the small distractions, I knew what I had to do and I put my mind to it and did it. I even noticed I had a better sense of balance (was at the end of a ladder doing siding/soffit). Some people do notice a better "connection" to their body. It really was like a fog was lifted.
This wasn't due to more energy, I was just able to concentrate on something I usually couldn't concentrate on.
Had I taken it and felt a "high", well then that would be a pretty good indication I don't have ADD, but I just felt "normal".

Almost every time I ride/race I am not focused on what is happening. I mean, yeah, I'm paying attention to what I'm doing, but I am thinking about everything else at the same time, like "need to get the oil changed in my truck, I wonder what my dog is doing right now..." at the same time I'm grabbing 3rd at the base of a jump. That isn't what normal people do. I asked some buddies at a race about it before, they said when they are on the track that is the only thing in their brain, is the track.

Unfortunately, I will never risk being diagnosed because that comes with a prescription of amphetamines, which is a banned substance if you want to hold a pilot's license. So, I'll continue to live in a fog and deal with it.

Do people abuse it? Sure, but it doesn't sound like most of the guys in this thread.

Love to know the difference it actually makes first hand, from someone who has taken it.
I took it to study in college during my first degree. I would usually just end up playing guitar for 5 hours instead of studying. If I raced on adderal I would probably have a heart attack. I believe it has different effects on different brain chemistry’s.

I'm 52 and didn't even try it until my early 40's. If you need it, it works. I don't get a buzz. It doesn't affect my appetite. When I need it, 10mg will do what I need, so I usually split a 20mg and take it twice a day depending on my schedule. I don't use it every day, tolerance builds fast. It allows me to focus and finish what I start. Sometimes I start too many things and don't finish half of them. I can start unloading the dishwasher, leave the cabinet doors open, see something else needing done, go to the garage to get a tool for that, see another thing and end up forgetting what I went to the garage for, go back to the first thing, etc. We call it "SQUIRREL!" at work. There is ADD and ADHD, I suffer from the latter. Controlled a little, I can get shit done and with authority

My script gets 30 x 20mg. I prefer Vyvanse but my insurance pays for Addy. *shrug*

Vyvanse is better. I'm 56 and I work 3rd shift. It allows me to maintain this schedule even on my days off. I've taken it at my regular time, 11 pm, worked my shift, got home, and went and rode moto until 1 pm consistently for years now. I've never had an issue. Only thing I do is hydrate better at least 24 hours before on days I know I'll be riding. It's hot here,(110 yesterday, supposed to be 110-111 today) so the tracks open at 8 am and I'm off work at 7 am.

I get home from the track by 2 pm, unload, shower and fall asleep easily. Start the day again at 11 pm with Vyvanse

I tried it, i was determined, i just didnt like the way it made me feel on the day, i never really have been the type to be pissed off about my results, but that day i came off the track and was extremely pissed off with my results andwas ready for moto 2 instantly, didnt eat a whole lot pissed alot, and my side started to hurt for some reason, it works but its fucking stoopid.

I’m prescribed 40mg a day (two 20’s)

If you “try” adderall once in a while with zero tolerance, like most of you are saying then yes it fucks you up and tweaks you out even if you have adhd.

There’s a tolerance stage for the body to get used to it and then you have to keep taking it for it to “work” the way it’s
supposed to that doesn’t make you
High as a kite. Most doctors start you on a super low dose and prescribe you more as your tolerance builds.

I can actually think of just riding now while I’m riding instead
Of the flood of irrelevant thoughts and info in my head when I was trying to ride as a kid.

Sativa strains of cannabis are a good substitute for me once in a while

Didn’t James Stewart, who legitimately took Aderall to control his ADHD issues, say that the drug “slowed things down” for him on the track…and that was a reason he could do stuff nobody else thought of? I’m not knocking Stews amazing talent, but it’s funny that he started crashing on stupid stuff when he came back from the ban, and couldn’t take Aderall any longer.
What makes you think he couldn’t take it. I thought he had a TUE and was just late in filing it

Have you tried practice and training? I’d recommend that prior to relying on a chemical crutch. Moto ain’t easy, if it was every poser on pills would do it.

As someone myself with diagnosed severe inattentive adhd that rode moto for 20+ years undiagnosed and constantly crashing/injured, I just want to politely tell you to go fuck yourself. You have no clue and you never will

Well at least your polite about it. My bad. It sounded to me like you were someone looking for shortcuts as opposed to someone who has already been diagnosed and has access to Drs. etc. if that’s the case I’d recommend talking to your doc as opposed to the Vital brain trust. I get it, your doc don’t race, but from what I understand of all drugs they don’t affect people the same way - so there’s that……

Edit: NM, I see your picking someone else’s fight. That’s so Vital. Sorry to offend. I stand by my response to the OP

Unless you absolutely need it don't touch it . I know too many people hooked on that shit and then they're all over the place mentally . I tried it for a week , at the end of the week the 1\2 pill didn't do what it did in the beginning. I saw the writing on the wall and quit that shit right away

I took Modafinal that my wife said it’ll help me focus. Didn’t notice anything and it’s still packed in my helmet bag from years ago.
I’ve a bi-polar disorder that I work on without meds as, my Doctors I’ve seen were unreliable, and the first meds I was on were horrible. Focused on self-awareness instead. I’m happy with my results sometimes!! Haha

Love to know the difference it actually makes first hand, from someone who has taken it.
A guy at work just OD’d & died (not sure from what) but it’s widely rumored he was addicted to adderall.

There is a large portion of the shop on it and I don’t think it’s prescribed - bad news

I wouldn’t touch that stuff with a ten foot pole.

I'm prescribed XR (Extended Release) 20MG because I was diagnosed over a 2 day period for ADHD by a professional. It helps me a lot...doesn't make me get wired, just keeps me from losing focus and getting frustrated with myself because I'm unable to pay attention to any one thing at a time without it. I like the XR because it works slowly over the course of 8 hours without it affecting my appetite or sleep.

And hearing 60mg a day taken from McG194...bro...get a new doctor. That is an absurd prescription!

An overdose from it is pretty uncommon but not impossible. More likely he unknowingly used something that was cut with fentanyl
