As someone who's using adderall with a prescription I'm wondering what the gently caress these people think adderall does. Sounds like they're confusing it with speed or modafinil

Sounds like they're confusing it with speed or modafinil Same, and it could also have a pretty negative impact on performance if it’s something they don’t take already. Increased heart rate in an already stressful situation can cause some real big problems. It’s a thing that gets abused because it’s legal meth, it doesn’t give you better reflexes or some poo poo. It just gives you more energy to, ostensibly, be able to focus when normally you would just scatterfocus and stare at a wall or something.

If you're taking enough adderall to be "hopped up on it", you're so jittery and strung out you'd never be able to play a good game of dota.

QuasiQuack posted:Not saying what they should or shouldn't do, just thought they already did it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If they do it’d be during a training camp or something, most likely. Like, adderall in a prescriptive form is pretty much like a steady drip feed of caffeine in terms of how it affects you. If you’re taking more than that you’re just getting high on meth and will be too jittery to do anything well. It’s not a thing you can abuse for in the moment performance any more than a can of Red Bull.

actually Adderall is literally speed. it's literally four different amphetamine(speed) salts. two are active and two are inactive

TheRat posted:Yeah, basically. People seem to think adderall does what modafinil does. It really doesn't. Well, it does promote wakefulness -- it's a stimulant after all -- especially for people who are taking it for ADHD, which can involve bouts of daytime sleepiness for complicated reasons involving dopamine levels and a phenomenon called theta wave intrusion, as well as circadian rhythm disorders that are often comorbid with ADHD. Adderall would absolutely help people stay more alert over the course of long sets or when they're sleep deprived, but not significantly moreso than if they're just drinking caffeine, which nobody seems to take issue with. The other things that Adderall does neurophysiologically, like helping to sustain effort with unengaging tasks, or to prioritize less stimulating activities over more stimulating activities, don't really apply to playing a competitive video game. e: postin about brain drugs in the dota thread Mechafunkzilla fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Aug 24, 2019 |
