ULPT Request: Legal stimulants?
Posted by helmetsforfish@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 103 comments
What are completely legal and easy ways to not get "high" per se, just get a bit more of a boost while working? Besides caffeine obviously.
ProphetKiller666@reddit
Propylhexedrine, brand name Benzedrex.
fellowbellow@reddit
ts almost meth don't understand estimate it
Shiddin_myself_woo@reddit
Ginseng is the cleanest imo.
It’s good for you, it increases blood vessels so stay hydrated.
In large amounts the effects mimic Molly. Helps with focus.
Stay away from ephedrine. That stuff is an ingredient to making meth. Meth stimulates adrenaline receptors and send you in to fight or flight. Hence why some meth heads are head in the clouds active and others are aggressive and aggitated. Just stay away from it. Same with adderall and vyvanse.
OpheliaCumming@reddit
Pls define a “heroic dose”😊
Shiddin_myself_woo@reddit
That depends on your body weight and stuff, I can’t tell you
BiteYourAsp@reddit
Yeah. Red panax ginseng is good stuff. It needs to be cycled or the HPG axis gets overloaded.

ADHD diagnosis is a piece of piss to fake. Then you basically get a meth prescription.
AngryCrotchCrickets@reddit
Its similar to meth if you take your entire month’s prescription in one handful.
Dignified-Dingus@reddit
Even then, I would imagine way more dysphoric, having never tried meth with no intention to lol
Dignified-Dingus@reddit
ADHD is probably a spectrum, I think even the highest functioning people probably have days with adhd like tendencies.
Lexx4@reddit
I mean no. It’s not basically meth. Having done most of the available adhd meds and also meth no.
evthrowawayverysad@reddit
My man's about to learn what a base is in pharmacology.
Dignified-Dingus@reddit
The person that thinks a -methyl group addition is nbd and doesn’t impact the hydrophobicity and thereby ability to cross blood-brain barrier of the molecule.
Lexx4@reddit
Mind explaining what you mean? Because I can sit here and tell you why they are not the same.
evthrowawayverysad@reddit
Hence 'basically'.
Lexx4@reddit
It’s not even basically.
evthrowawayverysad@reddit
Lol, ok school time: stimulant medications for the treatment of ADHD (dextroamphetamine and lisdexamfetamin) and crystal meth share the exact same base; amphetamine salts. Methamphetamine is, as the name suggests, a chemically modified version of that same base.
You literally couldn't apply the term 'basically' in a more relevant and accurate sense than this... It is the very definition of the term in pharmacological usage.
Lexx4@reddit
Yea that added methyl group does a fucking lot.
evthrowawayverysad@reddit
You're damn right it does, but guess what, the term still applies.
Lexx4@reddit
I think you are looking for the term chemically related.
evthrowawayverysad@reddit
Learn to accept being wrong.
Lexx4@reddit
I mean you still have not shown how it’s basically meth.
How about you learn the pharmacology of those drugs and come back.

Bro you’re a dumbass.
evthrowawayverysad@reddit
Did you try understanding all of what I wrote, or was the entire paragraph a bit of a stretch for you?
testaccount123x@reddit
cool but nobody is saying "basically" to indicate the pharmacological use of the word...they're using it in the colloquial sense. saying X is basically Y is saying that they are very very similar, and the this case it's not true. just because the base is the same, it doesn't mean they're similar in the way that the expression would imply.
no need for "ackshually".
angoosey8991@reddit
Anyone have tips for an adult
AngryCrotchCrickets@reddit
Was very easy for me during covid. Im pretty sure I’ve had adhd my whole life and never got it checked out. It was easy because I was actually honest with my doctor and told him what was going on. I asked about Ritalin and to my surprise I was prescribed Adderall.
Sober_Alcoholic_@reddit
Literally google a physician/psychiatrist in your area and schedule an appointment. Read the symptoms since you don’t have it, say you suffer from them and were prescribed Adderall when you were younger.
That’s literally it.
runasadministrador@reddit
Can confirm
easyEggplant@reddit
This should be higher.
pichael288@reddit
Ephedrine if you can find it
randomfunnythings@reddit
Ephedrine is still in bronkaid (I believe it’s called). It’s supposed to be used for asthma. You’ll need an id card to get it from behind the counter.
I stopped because the stuff gives me wicked bad cramps and muscle spasms.
Virtu_Sea@reddit
Just cause it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you
Leaf-Stars@reddit
Makes me super aggressive. Not in a fun way.
Shiddin_myself_woo@reddit
Because it stimulates the same receptors as adrenaline. It’s parasympathetic. Literally sends you in to fight or flight mode.
Turns out you move towards fight.
CosmicTurtle504@reddit
It’s *sympathetic. Parasympathetic is the one that activates the “rest and digest” response. Good to become familiar with if you experience anxiety or panic attacks.
Leaf-Stars@reddit
Fuck yeah!
FittyTheBone@reddit
There’s a fun way?

Available as "Mormon tea" or "ma huang" from herbalists. That's two different plants.
ArianaGrande116@reddit
Key ingredient in meth.
babyeventhelosers_@reddit
In the US this can be found in decongestant medicines they keep behind the counter at the pharmacy. It's regulated. They will ask for your ID but it's legal.
suresureno@reddit
My vyvanse for ADHD does this.
brainhack3r@reddit
You should do some more research if you want to "get high."
Stimulants suck. They're physically bad for you and they're also highly addictive.
I had a problem with Adderall for a while because the prescription that my pharmacist was giving me was defective.
It was really clear how much it impacted my life and my mental health, and I almost killed myself, actually.
I thought I was losing my mind, and it was really painful having to deal with going a day without Adderall.
You become seriously depressed. You don't understand what's happening. You're tired. You're angry. Your brain won't work.
Just do caffeine. That's all you need.
Even caffeine is really powerful and addictive.
AngryCrotchCrickets@reddit
How was the prescription defective?
brainhack3r@reddit
At that time they approved a new drug similar to Adderall but it was still under patent so they could charge a LOT more.
This meant that new companies were making Adderall and my XR formulation (extended release) was defective and releasing it at random times.
One time it was ALL at 8PM and I realized I was acting like a meth head.
I couldn't stop moving my fingers, was walking around the apartment all agitated, I was hot, couldn't stop talking/thinking, etc.
Plastic_Permission81@reddit
The way they source some of these pills these days is just pathetic, different pill type from a different manufacturer every month and it’s luck of the draw whether it’s effective or not. i’m not sure of his situation, but that was what happened for me.
AngryCrotchCrickets@reddit
Thats what I figured. Same shit was happening to me at my old pharmacy. Different manufacturer name every month. Some were good, some did jack shit, and one in particular was very very strange.
Big_Service_2194@reddit
Two Sudafeds will give you a boost! And (here in Ireland), you can get them over the counter. Codinex (a cough syrup) also will give you a lift. It’s not as easy to get and you have to say it’s been recommended to you by a doctor. And finally solpadeine with the caffeine in it!
NuclearScientist@reddit
Zyns… super cliche, but a little bit of nicotine does the trick. I don’t smoke either.
Particular-Tax8106@reddit
Sudafed. Might need to show ID at cvs or whatever, but a Sudafed or two should do the trick.
DrugChemistry@reddit
When I was in undergrad, I would crush up the 12/24hr extended release sudafeds and eat them right before a library session.
Particular-Tax8106@reddit
We used to take a Sudafed, a no-doz or vivarin, and an aspirin at the same time before working a double or before a long school day immediately followed by a closing shift at the bar/restaurant. Supposedly worked like those old school “stackers.”
QualityKatie@reddit
We used to take Two-ways and Mini Thins back in the day. You could buy them in any gas station.
QualityKatie@reddit
Or ask for Primatene. Both have generics and can be purchased at pharmacy counters. I’m not sure if it’s legal in all states now.
Forward-Vegetable-58@reddit
I took a Sudafed every morning of college thinking I had allergies. Even though I don’t have allergies.
babyeventhelosers_@reddit
Mushroom Plenty's coffee (also on Amazon). Almost every mushroom coffee I've tried has tasted terrible. This one is no exception. But I just add it to my regular (or decaf) coffee & it's fine. About 30 min after drinking it, I can feel something shift in my brain. Like a lightness. Idk how to describe it. I only know that I stop feeling like death & there's no sharp drop after.
WinterPizza1972@reddit
Fuck Amazon

lukebelcher10662@reddit
Caffeine combined with the L-theanine they might have added?
J_Bunt@reddit
Modafinil, Armodafinil.
cuteplot@reddit
I bought some energy drinks from adraful.com last year that have adrafinil in them... it seemed like it helped, kinda?
T0nysoprano@reddit
I second this. It has a much lower addictive and recreational potential; it just makes you extremely focused with no euphoria or jitters
CosmicTurtle504@reddit
The only trick is convincing a neurologist that you’re narcoleptic. Cataplexy is hard to fake.
T0nysoprano@reddit
No need, just be honest. Told my family doctor that I hate amphetamines and want to mitigate ssri induced fatigue and he happily prescribed it
unionpark1@reddit
There are online “pharmacies” that will sell it. I get mine delivered to my door for about a $1 a pill. I don’t use them often but when needed to have available has been a life saver.
putupthosewalls@reddit
Modafinil requires an rx. Adrafinil can be purchased without.
WolverinesThyroid@reddit
I tried googling Adrafinil and was taken to Umbrella Labratories. Now I am not sure if this is all a joke or not.
YandyTheGnome@reddit
Adrafinil is a pro-drug to modafinil. Modafinil is a controlled substance in many countries now, with adrafinil being significantly easier to find for roughly the same effect.
Do note, your piss will smell like sulfur while you're taking it.
schlick_@reddit
I used to have a DMHA pre workout before going to the gym. Shit was crazy. Questionable legality for ingestion and definitely not approved by the FDA
ChickenMenace@reddit
Yohimbe
Sarenord@reddit
Everyone is suggesting modafinil but google search is telling me it’s prescription only? Ik modafinil used to be otc but it’s been schedule 4 for a while
coupdelune@reddit
Lots of online pharmacies sell it, not like Alldaychemist but places that sell PCT (post cycle therapy) for body builders. Here's an example: https://dashpct.com/category?tid=42
Googling bodybuilder forums and reading through their supplier threads would be your best bet to find places that sell it.
CosmicTurtle504@reddit
Is that site safe and legal? Have you used it? If so, what was your experience like?
coupdelune@reddit
I haven't used DashPCT, I have used this place however and had a good experience with fast shipping and really good prices: https://bodybuilderspharmacy.com/

L-Tyrosine otc supplement.
Delicious_Crew7888@reddit
Small dose of Kratom
maslowk@reddit
Idk why you're being downvoted, that's what I was gonna recommend. Stuff works great for energy, especially the white vein varieties. It's not on the same level as something like Adderall but definitely effective regardless.
chriiiiiiiiiis@reddit
ew no
Delicious_Crew7888@reddit
In Thailand they chew it like coca leaves

Nicotine

Isn't there a nasal spray that people get hooked on because of its mild stimulating effects? Afrin maybe?
avj@reddit
No, Afrin is addictive because it fucks with the balance of things and makes you think you need it more.

ideapit@reddit
Modafinil
Leaf-Stars@reddit
Armodafinil is the shit. Quarter tab and it turns your brain on.
moresmarterthanyou@reddit
Different than modafadil?
Leaf-Stars@reddit
Lasts longer
runasadministrador@reddit
Bruh that shit last all day already wtf lol
Leaf-Stars@reddit
I never take a full tab. Usually just a quarter.
moresmarterthanyou@reddit
Damn moda lasts long as shit for me

There's also caffeine tablets.
