I had an on/off + use/abuse relationship with Adderall over the past 5 years, with a 2-3 year abstinence in the middle of that period.
It started out as a euphoric, performance-enhancing, focus-increasing, and productivity-increasing tool. And then slowly devolved into almost exclusively an aphrodisiac euphoriant as I increased my dose (an addictive, but not productive property).
The thought of taking adderall makes me sick to my stomach now, due to my last experiences involving high-dosing and the classic (and overwhelming) anxiety about cardiotoxicity and heart-rate acceleration. It has been one month since I used it last.
When Adderall was unavailable, I would run across Ritalin from time to time. I discovered it to be better, as it seemed to be operational at a lower dose (not as much cross-tolerance and I had anticipated) and I was also able to sleep and eat. But it did induce the oversexed state that I had grown to despise, even though I had been addicted to it.
I haven't had the chance to try ethylphenidate, but I have isoprpylphenidate available to me. As a functional stimulant, for those who have had experience, how does it compare to methylphenidate? I have heard that the euphoria is not as pronounced, but that the other stimulate-associated characteristics remain.
Also, what are its general effects? Most of you probably know that reports are few and far between on the web.
