Scientifically, I think (based on all the huberman ep's I've listened to) it's cuz it makes up for our lack of dopamine receptors helping us perform tasks, and our minds act like a NT's, and since an NT's dopamine levels are normal it sends them into overdrive and makes them hella overstimulated.

Dats why when NT's take addy recreationally it makes them go mental, cuz it's basically a controlled version of speed. I don't do blow but I know certain man with ADHD who have and they tell me it knocks them out, like a sleeping pill.

I so think I can help everyone focus to an extent, but for NT’s the side effects are usually not worth the trade off, whereas if you have ADHD, you may choose to take the side effects for the benefit of the medication.

In comparison to the benefits, it's hard to even consider the side effects. All I get is that my appetite vanishes and I don't require 12 hours of sleep per day. As long as i force myself to eat there are literally no negatives lol

The only bad side effect for me is that if I have anxiety, then it can make the anxiety worse.
