Probably best not to take amphetamines when you can just get Ritalin instead.
Ritalin is still a schedule 2 stimulant. Also it's the drug that my brother had to be taken off of because it literally made him sleep walk pee in his closet so I'll pass on that one.
What do you think Adderall is? It's illegal in quite a few countries for a reason. I'm on methylphenidate (Ritalin's generic name) and it's been good for me. YMMV but Adderall is serious stuff in comparison, don't dismiss Ritalin just because your brother peed in a cupboard.
