Avoid Adderall or Ritalin for Cognitive Optimization

Shop on Amazon

Guest says he would steer away from Adderall and Ritalin for cognition optimization because they boost multiple catecholamine systems at once—dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine—giving less control over modulation.

1 / 1

If I had my choice, you know, drugs that boost up multiple systems, all the catecholamines, the ones that boost up dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, I would steer away from those because you have no control over how you're modulating the system... then I wouldn't use Adderall or Ritalin as the drug that I think would help.
