I'm in college and have heard a little bit about these. Not interested in using them, but are they commonly used in the financial industry and, more importantly, are they memes or do they actually work? Also, throw in modafinil onto that list. I've heard a little bit about it but don't really know about it.
I'm not interested in doing them, but I am worried that if I go into the financial industry I may be pushed into using them by the quantity of work. Any anons have any experience stories or general knowledge?

>are they memes or do they actually work?
well the important thing to remember is this: you either need them in which case they calm you down or you don't need them and in this case they fuck up your dopamine receptors and brain chemistry permanently and just wind you up.

currently on 60mg adderall XR here
Honestly if you are a functioning human, stay away from this stuff. I started taking it to pull all nighters in high school before major exams and competitions and I've used it since. It's expensive, addicting (I'm at least psychologically addicted if not somewhat physically dependent), not nearly as effective as it might seem, destroys my appetite, and makes me constantly uncalm.
Mentally, it absolutely does make you have laser sharp focus on things. What this description fails to capture is that on high enough doses you will have such focus that you completely ignore the context of things around you during conversations, etc. For example, a few weeks ago I was coming down off of a massive binge and was looking at the NYC skyline, taking in a huge landscape. What I ended up doing was literally going into like a tunnel vision focus on one particular construction crane to the point where I felt like I couldn't even hear anything around me or have a sense of spatial reasoning. This is an effect I notice on high dosages combined with sleep deprivation, inb4 you faggots who snorted 10mg IR at a party start beating your chests about "
thats not how drugs work you roleplayer" Believe me, I know how adderall works.
