My understanding was that Addrall and the like, while kinda similar chemically to meth, ends up having pretty different effects on the brain?

I've also heard that ADHD meds end up being counterproductive for people without ADHD too, though.

Adderall is similar to amphetamine, not metamphetamine. If adderall/amphetamine doesn't help you sufficiently you need desoxyn/metamphetamine.

This is true... approximately. In fact small amounts of amphetamine/adderall can boost concentration/memory/productivity in healthy people (not all of them though) too.
