Default FFR and Adderall

For those non-ADHD users out there, what is your opinion of playing FFR while taking adderall? Do you do it very often? I'm not a regular user, don't get me wrong, but I use it to focus when studying for important tests/finals and being addicted to FFR I always play a few games. I've seen that my speed, stamina, and accuracy exponentially increase. Thoughts?

Interestingly enough I also feel tired but kind of energized at the same time. It doesn't really affect my playing, but then again I'm still playing songs within a d4/d5 difficulty range which require less speed and stamina obviously.

makes sense. adderall improves performance w/r/t repetitive, boring tasks.

I frequently perform markedly better in dota after I've taken adderall. I don't think it's worth taking just to increase gaming performance though, for me at least the side effects can be pretty rough

I have been prescribed adderall and I can't say it really changes how well I perform at the game. The only difference I see is that it makes whoring a particular song not seem such a task. In my opinion, if you're prescribed adderall, I would only take it for what it's intended for....not for rhythm gaming. That goes for any amphetamine as well.

well, typically it's prescribed on a daily basis and lasts for, what, 8-10 hours? It's unlikely you could take it regularly and not get at least little game time in.

Yes, but realistically you won't take it every single day. I only take it days I go to school or work on something that requires a lot of studying. However, I don't think it's worth taking if you're going to be just gaming for that day.

Yeah it does fuck with your ability to sleep sometimes. It also doesn't help that I smoke as well, so I will skip meals from time to time. I usually have to take it before noon if I want to sleep good for the night. Otherwise, it will keep me up at 4 in the morning.

adderall and associated drugs work differently with people who need it (ADD/ADHD) and people who don't

I've played and made files on various different drugs lol

If you've been prescribed amphetamine for ADHD and the drug brings you to a regular level of stability, that's not abnormal.

If you exceed your dose, and take amphetamines in higher amounts, the stimulation you'll have is going to increase of course. You'll take in more information, you'll make faster decisions; that's what stimulants are designed to do. That's why it's used as a study aid for uni students and for people who want to party hard for 3 days straight. You're probably liking the euphoria from it too, and feeling your reward system get activated a lot more. Don't get used to it!!!

In simple terms it's like two of the same person, one person has drank coffee in the morning and one has not; the one with the coffee will probably be more productive.

But yeah if you're thinking of messing with amphetamines to increase your FFR skill that's a bad idea lol.

Amen to that. I never had any intention. I have friends who have messed around with that stuff too much and have become physically dependent on that. I had a buddy who needed it for writing a 2 page paper lol. It's just an added bonus that taking amphetamines increases my skill that way when I'm done studying I can improve my scores

Stimulants can be helpful with FFR/Stepmania (i.e. caffiene); however, I don't recommend relying on it.
