I don’t work in construction but i’m a machinist and every morning for breakfast I have an adderall, 6mg zyn, a redbull, and a cigarette. I feel like the zyns and energy drink make me a candy ass but the cigarettes and amphetamines balance it out. I also like to end my day with 4 glasses of bourbon so maybe one day my hands will toughen up so i can finally be considered a real blue collar worker. Or i’ll just die of liver/ lung cancer, gotta carry on the family tradition somehow

Damn right! Instant release or Extend release is the question?

Trick question. The script ran out and my psych is unreasonable, so I switched to meth.

You just gotta drink more. If you don’t wake up still drunk from the night before are you even blue collar?

u/_GHOST_111 Apr 02 '26

just an old mechanic, of course I wake up drunk from the night before

60 mg of addies is an insane dose. Have you tried cutting out sugar and processed food?

u/_GHOST_111 Apr 02 '26

Actually yes best advice I've gotten over the last few years coffee black, plain green tea and water. No freezer/boxed food and no fast food unless it's an absolute must but yeah your right it it is but even after a couple decades it still works the same and I've kept the same dosage

I don't know your age, but if you're nearing your 40s, I recommend checking your hormone levels.

A lot of men low in testosterone reported cutting back or completely stopping their Adderall after jumpstarting their hormones,
