I’m not so sure about that. My very first dose of Adderall was anticlimactic. I was bracing for the rush from an energy drink or something, and instead felt… nothing. I was just able to focus on work better that day.
Also, cocaine and amphetamines are very different drugs. They’re both stimulants, but that’s about all they have in common.
> the rush from an energy drink
I must be dead inside.
(I probably need a caffeine tolerance break...)
You see this in ADHD groups where someone will start stimulant medication for the first time and say "This is incredible. I can't believe this is what everyone else feels like all the time"
And the crowd emerges to reinforce that, no, you're euphoric, this isn't normal, after about a week it'll go away and you'll just feel normal but more productive and have better executive function.
And that's on a starter dose, the parent commenter probably took 2-3x that
Funny story though. I have a similar story after my friend walked up to me in a club with a line of coke on his hand. Then I proceeded to charm the girl that became my next girlfriend.
