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 |
