Not to deal with a medically diagnosed disorder, but for pure productivity.
What are your thoughts on these?

Huh? Doctors won't prescribe anything worth a damn nowadays unless you jump through a ton of hoops.

You don't have to get them through a doctor, but I don't think this is true. Multiple people in my office use mental scrips which they did get through doctors, at least two people at my gym use them (they were discussing in locker room a few weeks back) and our therapist asked me if I was interested in some type of med when my wife and I did a few marriage counseling sessions. I don't know if you're saying that the stuff most people are getting isn't very good, but I don't think they are that hard to get.
Are you in America?

Yes, I was going to ask if you were not, because that definitely changes things.
I used to buy something called "stablon" off of the internet. European Antidepressant that really works quite well, and has no patent here. Sadly, of course, they are passing a bill to make it a schedule 2 substance in my state now.

Nah I just use meth I make with drain cleaner and cold medicine

I used adderal a handful of times in college for studying. Shit was a wonder drug for focus, but there was a crash. I see people throughout the day from time to time that I know are using it, well, abusing it.

Only thing worthwhile I'd say would be modifinil. Never used it myself, but compared to the alternatives like Adderal (amphetamine sulphate) it seems "safer", in that it won't destroy your appetite like common stims do. No clue how rich piana would be getting all his meals in on Adderal, when 25mg of ephedrine will kill my appetite for 12 fucken hours.

Nuvigil
-
Sounds like a feminine hygiene product.
-
I thought that was what a good nights sleep and exercise was for... you mean there is a pill for that?
-
Noopept is interesting. It's supposed to increase focus, it's a Russian made "smart drug." For some reason it makes me loopy but it's a powerful off the shelf anti depressant. Cheap too.
-
Mike Quinn used cocaine for focus. Someone told me Stephen King did too, and I searched online and confirmed that. I have heard other people say the same thing. At first I thought it was just people rationalizing their drug consumption - and maybe it also is that - but I have heard enough people say this to believe some people do experience this effect. I wonder if they could just get a prescription for something instead.

What are you hoping to produce more of ???

You'd be really surprised at the things some people do just to add a couple pounds of muscle. See other threads on this board for details.

Modafinil and its offshoots seem to be the drugs of choice around this office.
There was a mini-controversy going on at my office because one team member advised an intern to look into modafinil. This particular intern is "likeable" but a very slow worker.
-
Modafinil for mental productivity and Adderall for physical productivity.

im assuming he's talking about weed or adderall, which is as easy to get as a candybar

Really? What industry are you in? Maybe it's a generational thing but I can't imagine this being openly discussed in a corporate setting (at least one that doesn't want to encourage lawsuits).

That explains your post history....

Marketing/advertising. And, yes, the use of prescription/recreational drugs is discussed relatively "openly", but the mini-controversy entailed parsing the language of exactly what was said to the intern. My current office is predominately made up of under-45 workers, but the oldest skewing firm I worked for was the least uptight.
etaIt might be helpful to also add that I live in NYC.

Adderall is hard as hell to get around here. Most people seem to be flush with stuff like Lyrica nowadays, which doctors prescribe for random shit like anxiety.

Is marketing/advertising considered a mentally demanding job ???

Once again, more trolling with it only making sense in your own feeble mind.

Once again, show me anywhere where I sell recreational drugs.. Even address, which is still a fucken amphetamine.
Idiot.

Wouldn't a sativa be a better choice over India?
-
No, just a small puff, like 1/2 a puff of "God's Gift", hipsters call it "micro-dosing" :D

I did that for a few weeks. I bought a disposable ecig type device it was loaded with a strong indica kush. One small puff 2-3 times a day. I defintely felt more productive, more personable, and empathetic toward people. It really increases appetite great if you are trying to gain weight. I loved taking a puff before workout. You get a better mind muscle connection. It negatively effects endurance you feel more off balance so you have to be aware of that.
Some of the cons once it starts to wear off you feel irritable taking a nap helps but who has time for that. I was also getting deeper and deeper into it. As time went on i wanted to smoke more and more. I would do it as soon as I rolled out of bed. I was basically stoned 24/7. There is a light anxiety paranoia that sets in. For me it lead to facing some insecurities and some issues that bother me subconsciously. It made me more OCD house stayed spotless clothes car always washed.
I felt like It messed up my sleep it suppresses Rem sleep. After about 6 weeks of this i stopped my dreams came flooding back very intense. Seems like my body was trying to make up for the really deep sleep I was missing. I actually felt some light withdraw symptoms when I stopped depression some dizziness harder to fall asleep.
I think it's a pretty good tool for some people if used responsibly. It did help the pain from the herniated disks in my neck. It also makes boring tasks a little more fun. It's easy to get hooked on though for people with addictive personalities. If I was seriously impaired from a bad injury I would use it for pain relaxation. It's safer then narcotics. It would be great for people who suffer from eating disorders. People with depression could find some good use if you micro dose it.

Never heard of anyone using those, but I am in my mid thirties and have been out of the loop for a while. The drug of choice in college in early 2000's was Adderall and the few times I took it I thought it was better than cocaine buzz wise. Not quite as strong but the effects lasted longer. My job is demanding, but I seem to be able to function off of coffee now days. I am not in your world though and don't know the demands. I'd imagine an office setting could be a breeding ground for shit like that. I have a buddy that worked for a high level staffing company and because of the long hours and fast pace, he said Adderall was tossed around quite a bit. Haven't talked to him about it in a while, maybe they've switched to the things you're talking about now.
