Why can I focus so well on amphetamines and not with my normal operating brain?

Is there a way to help my brain focus and operate at the same level without amphetamines? I already eat well and workout 5x a week.

Also, has anyone got their master's WITHOUT amphetamines?... how?

may as well get a prescription. if you need it to perform at a level that a master's or PhD program demands, do you really want to have to perform the work these designations require?

That's what I'm thinking. I'm going to contact a psychiatrist and see what all this might cost.

And, I can do the grad level classes just fine, but the thesis related work is kicking my ass.

I still have to propose and my thesis advisor keeps informing me I need edit my proposal document.

I'm stressed about the level of perfection needed and I'm stressed my experiment will fail and that I'm only really given one good chance at publishing interesting and helpful data to the scientific community. So, in other words, is it better to just accept that my experiment may be largely useless but enough to get through a Master's? For any idea of what I'm doing, it's related to water purification and heavy metal toxicity. Kind of basic stuff, but I'm interested in environmental work.

The thesis stuff is you not preparing early enough, probably just because it's the first time you do it. That's normal, happened to me too.
You really dont want to get on amphetamines to perform your "daily" work. They are terrible on you long term, physically and on your mental.
get familiar with failing at performing things man. Things are never "failures" unless you CANNOT extract any information from the experiment. But something not working is not inherently a waste of time.

No that's not it. This is like my third time taking it, and it's been immensely helpful.

Don't get me wrong, I finished my B.S. and got into grad school all without any "study aids" so it's not a withdrawal issue.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. Honestly, I do. I still have 1.5 years left on my normal grad school track so I have a lot of time to do my experiment if I can propose in the next few months.

No problem, i recently just broke through one of those terrible periods of things not working well. was going nuts but finally it's paying off.
Also, there's a lot to be said about removing yourself from the whole grad life for even an hour, going for a walk, clearing your head. I didnt do that nearly enough in the past year, my advisor really got onto me about personal time to the point of making me take some. It's so obvious in retrospect, that's exactly what i needed.
this shit's hard man
