Background: Diagnosed ADHD, seem to need a higher dose of every stimulant except Adderall, but can't stand the irritability and anger it causes. Vyvanse is shitty, unpredictable Adderall . Dislike Concerta due to how uneven it releases and the horrid crash.

Summary
Cyclazodone is a centrally acting stimulant developed in the 1960s, structurally related to pemoline and 4-methylaminorex. It appeared on the research chemical market in 2017 with limited pharmacological data. While animal studies suggest lower cardiotoxicity and hepatotoxicity than amphetamine, the structurally related pemoline was withdrawn due to causing liver damage in children.

Acute tolerance: develops within a single session — the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.
Tolerance patterns are extrapolated from stimulant class experience and user reports; high uncertainty. Spacing use ≥48–72 h reduces rapid tolerance build.

For the past 8 or 9 months I've been using the functional stimulant Cyclazodone to treat my ADHD, and I must say it's absolutely wonderful. Let's start over. Waaaay over. I was 4 years old when I took my first 5mg Adderall dose. Four. From then on I've had photographic memory.
First and Second Experiences With Cyclazodone male, mid 20s body weight 65 kg past experiences: non-response to amphetamine and methylphenidate On Friday at 17:13, I took 10 mg of cyclazodone (orally). Immediately after administration, resting heart rate was 80 BPM.
Third Experience With Cyclazodone male, mid 20s body weight 65 kg past experiences: non-response to amphetamine and methylphenidate 16:48 - 39 mg cyclazodone (oral route) HR 76 BPM Today was an ordinary working day. I slept poorly (~6 hrs), I felt tired and demotivated all day. Negative thoughts, low self worth.
