I don't doubt the brilliance of this guy, but sounds like he was (ab)using amphetamines, honestly.

Absolutely. It's pretty much the only way to work 48hrs straight.

I must disagree.

I've done a small number of 48 hour stints in circumstances where the need arose, and I've never in my life touched amphetamines or anything else like them.

Eh, you said it yourself "small number". Sure you can do it one time here or there, likely with heroic doses of coffee for the second 24 hour period.

But consistently doing this as described in the thread isn't "mania" phases of bipolar. It means one is on stimulants.

Perhaps it's easier for some. What was the need?
