Anyone ever tried a moto without adderall and then a moto with? Or have a kid the didn't use it and then did use it? Just want to know if it really is a performance boost. I'm not thinking of trying it, heck I don't like even taking Tylenol, just wondering.

Does anyone know what pro riders ride with Adderall currently?
That said, since it is a cognitive drug, results are highly individual and the drug can have a completely different effect if taken by people with ADHD/ADD or people with 'normal' levels of focus.
I tried it once to study for an exam and it was retarded. I probably processed double the information than I could have without taking it. But I did (unknowingly) take a fairly large dose because the guy that gave it to me had severe ADHD. There is no doubt in my mind it would be a huge benefit for me if I took it for riding/racing.
But I take it as I am perscribed it, (oohh druggie over here) and it does help my focus significantly.. couldn't say it makes me a more skilled rider but it keeps me from thinking about random stuff while riding. I crash waayy less now that I take it when I ride, which IMO is worth it for that effect alone.
Would that potentially change people's views? If we knew multiple riders had the TUE for the same drugs?
I dont understand why all the sudden its not cheating if you simply fill out a form. You are still taking the exact same thing if you were "doping" but now you arent "doping" because you told them about and they said it was ok.
And we should probably also not use the word "doping" for a lot of these banned substances because actual doping is a significantly different thing than taking Adderall. Its not anywhere near the same thing
My roommate's Dad was a OBGYN and could get him basically what ever prescription he wanted...within reason. My roommate got some Adderall to help with exams and asked me if i wanted to try it. I was reluctant at first, but then decided to try it. He didnt know how much we were supposed to take, turns out we took twice the recommended dose. HOLY FUCK!!!!!! I was in hyperdrive, listening to everything the teacher said, while my spidey sense was honing in on the birds chirping outside, and the kid behind me flipping his pencil! Absolutely the most insane experience I have ever had. I comprehended everything the teacher was going over and I was answering every question. I will say that the crash at the end of the day was rough, I felt absolutely horrible. Had no appetite, and felt like I was going to die!
I could only imagine what it would have been like if I was riding while on Adderall.

I have no idea what he got from the hospital, but he slowed down big time, 2-5 seconds a lap easily.
His dad got pissed about it thats for sure
Bottom line is it's a drug, it is illegally sold by high school and college kids for help with "studying" and that alone should be enough to make you question the legitimacy of "needing" it. Whether or not one may "need" it (to which opinions vary), it is something being taken that alters the state of mind. I'm very much against it for any person let alone MX athletes. Even though he wasn't winning I'm very glad the FIM enforced this.
What it does for me, as someone who's not prescribed the medicine, it gives me a lot (A LOT, as in you will want to whip through your honey do list without stopping) of energy and a bit more focus.
The side effects for me, is elevated heart rate, and dehydrates me a lot faster than normal. But like I said, I'm just a weekend practice warrior, so it's not really a problem...
It also works really well in the bedroom, unless you want to sleep..
