In my experience people who take adderall while partying do it to stay awake longer to party with other drugs or booze. In practice for most people that “high” isn’t really a thing. At least not with anyone I know who is prescribed it or sometimes takes it recreationally. Meth on the other hand? Yeah that’s going to give you a very noticeable high.
- operatingthetan 4y agoPlease browse https://www.reddit.com/r/StopSpeeding/ https://www.reddit.com/r/StopSpeeding/ (probably nsfw) for many stories of people struggling with prescription stimulant abuse. These people aren't taking it because it keeps them up longer for drinking.
- brazzledazzle 4y agoI'm not denying that you can abuse prescription stimulants by taking large doses to get high but most people aren't taking 10-30mg a day and experiencing meth like feelings of euphoria. Especially with extended release formulations. It's also much harder to maintain the regular abuse of a prescription stimulant without resorting to illicit acquisition since most psychiatrists avoid prescribing high enough doses to make that feasible. I can't speak for every person who abuses prescription stimulants but I've met people that do and they always had a meth or other addiction in their past and were either buying from dealers or seeing multiple doctors/pharmacies. It's been a while since I've run into someone with that problem though so I don't even know if the latter strategy is effective anymore. I assume the feds maintain some kind of database these days.
