I don't like stims, they are not my first choice.
Sometimes they fit to the general schema I'm working at, on or for: they simply make sense to me in relation to something other (I still don't like them, not even then). Their value grows out of those practical purposes for which they are used and because of they only are used; so stims are tools for other and better purposes.
And in special occasions like summer time I could use them to stay be up as long as I want or as long I simply need to. Then I prefer dopaminergic ones and as long acting ones as possible, so stims like desoxypip... But, that hat could make me almost loosing my mind... which, of course, will be nothing too serious, rather it'll be comparable to one big practical joke! I mean, whole life feels then like a big joke of insane insomnia.
Then one learns to sleep, or really looses mind to a degree, real psychosis.
