> As an extreme example taking cocaine/amphetamines for 1 month would probably make you best dad ever, best coworker and best husband straight away

It most definitely wouldn't. After just a couple of days/a week, the negative effects would be noticeable, at least if we're talking about recreational dosage every day.

Long-term prescribed medicine doesn't have nearly the same effect as stimulants people use recreationally, although you could for sure use prescribed medicine above the prescription dosage and end up with stronger effects.




I was not thikning about "going to the party" dosage every day for a month for sure. There are indigenous communities where they chew coca leaves for years.

Most ADHD medications are amphetamines.
