anything besides adderall you can use to study

[Lao Tzu]

I dont want to use adderall for a variety of reasons.

its highly illegal
i can't find any
im afraid of addiction.


Right now i'm using piracetam & choline but that only gives me 1-2 hours of concentration though. i want the 4+ hours that amphetamines give. Is tehre a combo of prescription & otc (but not scheduled) drugs i can use to obtain that?

 

[danielson]

are you really that desperate for time?

if not, why not try ginko and glucose drinks to increase brain ATP levels and leave it at that. all that shit is fucked up and you may end up getting dependant on it for concentration....not good

(p.s. they give ALA and acetyl-L-Carnitine to senile rats and it helps them....but im sure that takes a long time to kick in)

 

[Lao Tzu]

im not desperate for time i just want to be able to concentrate for a few hours on end. i normally can't do that unless i have a deadline, so i have to use drugs.

 

[danielson]

i wouldnt resort to any kind of medication, ive heard people using ritalin and stuff to concentrate.....not worth it IMO

if ur not working for a deadline than just chill out a bit, 1-2 hrs work a day is more than enough

nicotine has been shown to increase long term potentiation (memory stroage) capabilities. try out some nicotine patches

 

[Lao Tzu]

nah. thats the same reason i dont want to use adderall, because its addictive.

My memory is good, i just need to concentrate better. unless i have an immediate deadline i usually can't concentrate for more than 15-30 minutes. Piracetam helps me get to an hour or two but i would like more.

adderal addictive? I've used it dozens of times for finals. I don't think it is addictive. Highly illegal? Who would know. They give this shit to little kids all the time. Chill out it's not that big of a deal.

order some selegiline and stack it with tyrosine or phenylalanine. adrafinil works well too.

selegiline is not a controlled substance.

I have the same problem. I convinced the doctor that I had attention deficit disorder and he gave me a prescription for ritalin. The only difference I could tell is that it may me more sociable and I had more energy. I have trouble getting started on a task more than anything else. I am poorly organized. A side effect of being both left and right handed, brain wires are crossed. I have found a technique that works for me. I will set my alarm clock for a certain amount of time and study that whole time, when the alarm sounds, I reward myself by taking a break, and getting a treat or playing on the internet. Last semester, I forced myself to stay at home most of the time, because it was the only way I would study enough. The results: I had the highest score in A&P, out of over 200 students and also had a high A in psychology. You might give it a try.

I used this same technique to defeat Oscar De La Hoya in a street fight recently. He could not escape my lethal headlock. Within seconds he cried uncle, or I would have broken his neck.

Well, I'm an asshole, so that's besides the point...but an 8 ball would get you focused, or even smoking the reefer is a good concentration builder!!!

While I am not a drug expert as I spend a lot of time in a bad place, I must point out that crystal meth is sold by script as Desodyn for those that Adderal does not effectively treat.

You learn a lot in a gay man's ass.
