Yes. You're co-worker has a HUGE advantage by taking Adderall. It's basically steroids for the workplace. It will significantly increase your productivity. The pitfalls are that you can tweak....or in plain english, become more productive but less efficient. Ie Spend too much time on an insignificant detail. So you may tweak. It will also effect your personality. You might become more aggressive and egotistical. It's very bad for your health and after prolonged use....you will have trouble focusing and/or thinking clearly without it. A large majority of baseball players take it (they used to call them 'greenies'). The blue jay pitcher in the game tonight....Marcus Stroman....watch dude basically chew his tongue off between pitches tweaking out on the adderall.


But in the short-term. Yes, you are at a disadvantage. My boss takes it and once in a while I feel like reminding him that we're not all on adderall when he becomes demanding.

If there was ever a zombie apocalypse or if our cities were under siege....the first thing I would do is seek out a large supply of adderall and/or dexedrine. Other than something like that....it's not worth effing up your life for. I took it regularly for a few years. It catches up to you. I've also used it casually which is the best option if you don't have an addictive personality. So say you have to move or undertaking a big project.....perfect time to do it and get a week's worth of work done in 24 hours.
It's different from coke. Coke lasts 45 minutes and then you hit the downslide. A heavy dose of adderall can last 20 hours without having to take more than the one dose. That's why so many crackheads have turned to meth. The high lasts so much longer and the addiction takes less maintenance.....way cheaper.
