I have had substantial experience with both of them, and while the effect is similar, the feeling is not. In my experience, cocaine has a stronger euphoric component than d-amp. Adderall makes me logical and emotionally detached, while cocaine makes me feel like I'm on top of the world.

I think the reason for using the substance could be coloring my opinion of the experience, since I use adderall to get work done, and when I use cocaine (not often, maybe once or twice a year. I did a decent amount of blow when I was doing opiates heavily), it's almost always in a social setting.

I will grant that the pharmacological effects are very similar.
