They're basically the same thing. Difference is ADHD meds are 5-10mg Meth, or similar drug at a lowish dose, and orally. But you can take meth a low dose and achieve the same effect.

Taking more doesn't help your performance, it makes it worse, and you get way more side effects, especially mental side effects. These build up with time.

I don’t know where this myth comes from or why it’s so prevalent but it’s completely false. Methamphetamine and amphetamine salts (e.g. Adderall) are not at all the same drug. One clear distinction is that methamphetamine is serotonergic while amphetamines are not.

ADHD meds are definitely not methamphetamines. They are amphetamine salts. Methamphetamine can be prescribed in rare cases but that isn’t the typical treatment at all.
