I mean, Methamphetamine is extremely similar, pharmacologically, with Adderall. Desoxyn is the 'medicine brand name' for meth, to treat ADHD.
Biggest difference between Crystal Meth, the street drug, and Desoxyn, the medicine, is dosage. A Desoxyn tablet is about 100x less methamphetamine than you'd take to 'get high'. (not to mention, pills have a slower release than smoking it).
And yeah, there are other differences between Adderall and Meth; for the most part, Adderall is safer, less addictive, and less 'makes you high'. So there's very few people still using Desoxyn, but it is still out there. For reasons that aren't really understood, Methamphetamine does work to treat a few people's ADHD for whom Adderall doesn't do much.
(and, for that matter, there are a pretty huge array of different amphetamines to treat ADHD and similar things, that are all subtly different in not very well understood ways, made messier by the fact that pharmaceutical companies making sure to push out a new drug, that might just be a new mix of existing drugs, every 10 years, for patent reasons. But Desoxyn is basically a 'last resort' to throw at the wall, if the patient hasn't responded well to any of the others.)
I'm just putting this out there, that, cocaine also helps treat ADHD.
It's not used in clinical treatments, but it has been observed that while neurotypical brains exposed to cocaine get an unfocused energy increase, ADHD brains tend to get a higher level of focus with that energy increase.
Theoretically it's possible for someone to treat their own ADHD using cocaine.
.... It's a really bad idea, but it's possible.
I mean, original coca cola, or even chewing coca leaves like South Americans could probably do the trick.
