Will taking adderall increase performance in a race, or while studying/writing papers?

Also, 5mg is the lowest prescription dose. 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, and 30 are the only dosages I've heard of.

Any tips on getting a script?

The fact that you don't see a problem with taking this prescription medication for the intended purpose of running faster already proves that you have gone off the deep end.

Even if it does increase performance, it is a banned substance. More so, it is a dangerous drug and highly addictive. People on it often tweak out like they're drug addicts. It's also bad for your heart. If you take it and see improvement, you will be hooked. There will be no such thing as taking it occasionally. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this.

Doctors are trained to spot drug seekers and very few psychiatrists are willing to give Adderall IR to new patients because they know it's what the drug seekers are looking for.

LOL yeah right. Tell that to all the people with "anxiety attacks" (=Xanax) or "trouble concentrating" (=Adderall, Vyvanse).

I never found it to help me ... it did help me focus on long runs. My limit has always been about 2 hours of running (or anything else) it wasn't that I was all that fatigued, but after 2 hours, I am done - running, hiking, biking, etc. The mental effort required to run from 2:00:00 - 2:15:00 was equal to the mental effort that it took to run 0:00 - 2:00:00.

For me, Adderall actually reduces my anxiety ... without it, I always have a background anxiety level of 4/10. When I take it, it drops to 1/10.

Soooo... you're saying I would just have to find the right doctor?
