I'm eternally annoyed that nobody on this page mentions the Racetams (Aniracetam, Piracatam, etc.) as potential alternatives to dosing speed everyday. I myself began to have heart issues from even just Ritalin (mild perhaps compared to Addy or Vyvanse).

Fasoracetam in particular looks promising but seems to be stuck in approval limbo:

Cf. phenylpiracetam - developed for the Soviet cosmonauts in '83

Indeed thank you, but no follow-ups or recent developments in other 'Racetams it seems. Modafinil is the only one that comes to mind that is atypical but has made strides in being a prescribed alternative.
