I have ADHD and am on Dextroamphetamine for that. For me it's a lifesaver in every way except for the increased sweating, that is annoying combined with steroid-sweating.
Note though 2 things: 1)if you really have ADHD, it will calm you down instead of amping you up which results in among other things a lower BP & RHR and 2) not that important considering 1) but I would always advise also being on a bèta-blocker just to be sure. Then again I advise any steroid user to be on a bèta-blocker...
So you can't throw out blanket statements about Amphetamines because it has opposite effects in those with vs without ADHD or ADD.
One last note: Amphetamine consists of a Levo- and a Dextro-enanthiomer and Adderall consists of both while what I take is just the Dextro part and that SHOULD be cleaner than the other or both combined.
