One must be pretty desperate to go for something powerful like ritalin or modafinil imo.
I'll stick to coffee & a good nights rest. Can easily compete with the ritalin munching fiends so see no real reason to try anything crazy. Definitely toying with some of the milder stuff though (Theanine and the like)...thus far no interesting results.
Ritalin - was on it for a day as a kid...ended up being treated for a head injury (blood everywhere).

I think you may have been doing it wrong....

Yeah, it's basically like using steroids and adrenalin when running a marathon. Sure, you get the certificate of completion at the end, but in the end, was it actually YOU doing that, or the drugs?

It just didn't agree with me because I'm already here:

On a more serious note...that was the years when teachers were convinced every kid and their dog needs Ritalin. Most people laugh / think I'm joking when I tell them I was prescribed Ritalin - I'm the exact opposite - calm and focussed.

idk.
For sports its pretty clear cut. Here its less so.
e.g. What if do the work faster than my peers because I had an extra coffee? How is that in nature different from say modafinil?
Or maybe I went to a better varsity? Or am just more intelligent?
The level playing field is an illusion.
If I didn't have reservations about the long term effects I'd certainly grab it as an advantage.
