Ok, thanks for clarifying. Are there any studies actually showing productivity boosts in healthy adults from ADHD medications?
I've heard about it, but it seemed more anecdotal, and it's not uncommon for drug users to rationalize their consumption in some way, eg based on their first experience.

I don't have a study, but the answer is yes, it definitely can boost productivity. But overall, a huge number of people take it for the high.
