The real issue is they don't improve your performance much at all. A recent study demonstrated people simply feel as if they are performing better, however its a false perception. Additionally the drugs won't give you that "buzzed motivated" feeling for long. You have to keep upping the dose and upping the dose, and people end up addicted and in a worse spot than when they started.

Have you ever taken a therapeutic extended-release dose of amphetamine? The idea of amphetamine only making you feel like you're performing better is hilarious to anyone that's ever taken it. Kind of like someone telling you that marijuana is actually inert. Yeah, whatever.
The drugs will give you an effect as long as you keep your tolerance down.
You don't take them every day. You need off days. Most people I know are prescribed 20mg Adderall XRs or 50mg Vyvanse caps and only up their dose if they want to save money by splitting pills.
