So, the price of adderall on the DNM's is completely absurd. I've got modafinil but it's not the same as the other stimulants and it doesn't work like I would like it to work (atleast for me). What's the best drug that does what I need it to do without it burning a hole in my wallet?
Hey man, it's getting pretty late for me, but every time I see a thread like this, I can't help but respond.
Basically, you have a few different options when it comes to study aids.. in order of increasing intensity. Caffeine, Modafinil, Ritalin, various research chems (4f-mph, eph, iph, and a few others), non-methylated amphetamines (adderall, vyvanse, dexedrine), and methylated amphetamines (crystal meth, desoxyn).
In my opinion, you are better off understanding that no crutch with ever get you very far... they will all limit you in the long term and ultimately lead to dependency if you don't have some sort of safeguard in place. When I was an underclassman at uni, I decided that the most cost effective stimulant was meth. After all, 1 gram was only $50 and 5 or 8mg was enough to get my rocks off for 7 or 8 hours. And so thats what I did, I bought a gram of methamphetamine and went to town. I'm not gonna lie, that semester, that was the highest my GPA has ever been. But, it took all but 6 months for my life to crumble to almost nothing. You see, being "kinda high" on meth is like, the worst feeling in the world. Very few people have the ability to resist meth, once they have experienced the rush that meth can give you. Honestly, I would never reccomend anyone take meth as a type of study aid, the risk simply isn't worth it.. especially if you plan on taking it on a semi regular basis.
That being said, here's what I recommend for you to try.. Find a source for various research chems, and try to find some sort of methylphenidate analouge (4-mph, 4f-mph, eph, 2fma?, etc). These are much less nuerotoxic than amphetamines, and typically have lower risks of dependency and usually carry less health risks all around. BEWARE! Some people are known to react very poorly to these drugs. While some people can insufflate 20mg+ of 4fmph and feel fine, others will insufflate <10mg and feel like they are going to die. Do your research with these if this is the road you plan on taking.
Your second option would be non-methylated Amphetamines. This includes speed paste/powder or various pharmacudical drugs like adderall, etc.. Speed paste is becoming increasingly rare to find in the US, so you may need to source to Europe if you plan on finding anything worth your money. Understand that amphetamines carry a high risk for dependency and addction, so try to set a schedule and stick to it religiously.
Anywho, if you have any questions, feel free to ask here or over PM and I will do my best to help you.
