7. What are in your opinion the three best stimulants?

Adderall, Focalin, and Meth. Meth is by far the strongest, most long lasting. However it's also 2-3x more powerful then any RX script.


8. When does the hangover start

a. The same night
b. Next day
c. 2-3 days later
d. 4-7 days later
e. More than 1 week later
f. I never get a hangover - When I take therapeutic doses (on a daily basis) and don't abuse them, stimulants never give me a hangover, especially Meth. Now when I was abusing them, and going on binges, I would get horrid hangovers. Depression, sleeping for days, feeling "numb to the world"

9. How long does the hangover take at average?

a. A couple of hours
b. One day
c. 2-3 days
d. a week
e. A month
f. More months
g. I never get a hangover when using them responsibly


10. How do you experience stimulants relative how you experience them when you first started?

a. I can't stand stimulants anymore!
b. They are a lot less positive then they were before
c. They are slightly less positive then they were before
d. They still work the same for me
e. They work a lot better than in the past

11. Can you describe what kind of negative effects you experience in the hangover?

When I abuse them I tend to sleep for days after a binge. Also had trouble with anything making me happy. When taken in responsible doses (on a daily regimen) and I go off of them I tend to sleep alot.

12. Does the hangover influence your perception of yourself? If so, how?

Don't really get a hangover when taking small amounts on a daily basis.

13. Are there long term consequences of you stim usage that you aware of. If so, what are those?

Brain damage (due to rampant abuse) Cardiovascular damage (due to rampant abuse) Nerve damage (due to rampant abuse)

14. If you could turn back time, would you have reconsidered taking stims? If so, why would you take them or not take them?

Tough one here. On one hand I accomplished so much on stims (when I was taking them responsibly) it's really hard for me to say I never should have taken them. Then on the other hand I ended up completely ruining my life with them, so I definitely regret that. All and all, knowing what I know now, I probably would do it all over again (I take that back I am doing it all over again). Now that I know where abuse can take me, and what i've missed out on in life i'm hell-bent on never going there again.
