I am due to sit for some really important exams about this time next year, and until then, I will have to study for extended periods of time, as well as attending 4 or 5 hour long classes, every fucking day.

Has anyone used pills like Adderall/Ritalin/Concerta for scenarios like these? How long till you are addicted to them?

If they are addicting/cause more harm than good, I am then only going to use them 1 or 2 months before, and of course, during these exams.

Where can I get them for a reasonable price without a prescription?

Post experiences, advice, whatever.

I'm testing adrafinil, so far no better than an energy drink, but without the anxiety low..

Do you need a prescription for that?

Where the fuck can I buy some without a prescription? I heard the prices in dark markets are insanely high, like 1$ per gram of active substance or something like that.

Nope.

Here in Australia, everything is regulated, even modafinil.

Adrafinil isn't, so I fit that instead.
Adrafinil gets metabolised into modafinil, but slowly.

Yeah and in here in the yurocuck zone won't even import adderall.

Ive gotten and like to do adderall. Its not addicting but it is fun. Pro tip: Go to the library and en route pop it, next thing you know youll have just finished studying for 8 hours.

Whatever you do, do not look at porn or try to jerk off, it will ruin adderall for you, and you will spend a solid 12 hours just jacking off. I learned this the hard way.

i only ever used adderall around finals week, but its a godsend. a 20mg extended release addy and a cup of coffee and i dont sleep for 24 hours

my sides

Used Concerta
You'll be focussed, energized and happy for about 8 hours. I never got addicted but after a good week of doing exams and studying I needed about 2 weeks to recover, felt like i fried my brain. So yes it will work just don't go full dose and then suddenly quit like I did.
