Haha, this, but ADHD diagnosis and then my doctor got me Concerta - not as big of a boost, but no longer crashing in the afternoon :)

This matches up with some research on that exact subject.
"Our findings suggest that “smart drugs” increase motivation, but a reduction in quality of effort, crucial to solve complex problems, annuls this effect."

Euphoria and crash is a sign of taking too much at once. This is why you’re supposed to titrate up from a dose that seemingly does nothing until you reach a level and number of doses that work best for your needs without impacting your mood or sleep too much. All the time release numbers are bullshit btw, there’s massive variability between people.
I've also been around a ton of people who are taking it constantly and well...they act weird, a bit more frenzied and not necessarily more productive on deep thinking tasks. Not sure if this was the case for me. It's an enjoyable experience, like a recreational drug. I see why people take it, and further I see why people believe it helps them be more productive, but I am highly skeptical of these claimed benefits.
