Burning out is a bad thing, fuck the retard who takes it one farther and uses speed aka adderal to play better broodwar ... wtf? hehe. I have to agree. Unless one has a starleague grand final on the line, I would definitely think it unwise to take any kind of prescription med so trivially. Long term use has been shown to cause dependency, so...yeah. I posed the question out of a hypothetical curiosity. As much as I love SC, both the competitive pro scene and playing it myself, I really don't think it would be worth going through the hassle and pain in the wallet to continue to continually acquire some. It's not worth it when all I have on the line on iccup is my pride. | ||

Okay, so I am missing the whole "drugs are bad" lesson from this. hmm, TL definitely doesn't belong on any of the Truth commercials. Edit: To those wondering where to get it, have a younger sibling with ADD. Personally, my girlfriend has ADD and takes Aderal as a prescription, I would never fuck around with it but thats just me. If you go to college you can probably find it relatively easily. Just ask around a little bit and I am sure you can find someone who is selling them. | ||

So pretty much free but i havnt done the stuff in like 7-8 months or so, great drug if not abused. Mix of coke and E, can get pretty intense and cause your eyes to shake if you take a little to much. You also wont sleep or eat that day. | ||

The only way in the US to legally acquire prescription meds such as Adderall or Ritalin is to get a prescription from a certified psychiatrist. To obtain it any other way is illegal, and so would have to be acquired by the same means you would acquire any other controlled substance. I'll let you fill in the rest yourselves.

There are probably lots of other ways to get it too. Just to clarify...there is no longer such a thing as ADD. Some time ago (I think it's been nearly ten years now), they combined ADD and ADHD into one disorder: ADHD. The acronym remains Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, but they have developed different variations of ADHD that you can be diagnosed with. ADD no longer exists. | ||

doing it to improve your play unless you happen to already be like a progamer would be pretty ridiculous tho, there _are_ side effects. ;p | ||

Find a friend that has ADD and ask him. Or go to a doctor and convince him you have really bad ADD. | ||

I don't believe this. I seriously don't. First off, you would either have to improve your build orders, timing, and so many other things to make that large a shift. Your hand speed and micro doesn't increase by popping a pill or two. | ||
