I've tried Adderall a few times and never got the productivity burst that users claim to receive. It tends to have the opposite effect on me. My attention darts everywhere and my skin feels like it's being pricked by thousands of needles.
Such drugs typically work by correcting an imbalance. If you don't start with this imbalance (say, lack of dopamine) then the effects may not be what you want.
The substance lifestyle really isn't something I can buy into.
A big problem is that one tends to become adapted to the drugs and their effects are diminished. Ritalin stopped doing anything for me, and Adderall doesn't seem much better (when taken as prescribed).
People thinking of taking such enhancers on their own should have in mind a plan to get off them.
