There’s a lot of myth in this myth-correcting post. I’ve doubled dosed by accident and although I felt like my heart was going to explode (and was very anxious over that), I still felt absolutely nothing resembling a euphoric high.

If you have good vision you do not benefit from glasses. In fact it makes things worse, as those with good vision are able to use their eye muscles to adjust focus but the glasses make that harder.

Doubling one's dosage does not mean much without stating the prescribed dosage. 5mg => 10mg is much different than 60mg => 120mg.

Also, the euphoric high tends to become lessened the longer one is on stimulants, even if the dosage is increased, due to neuroadaptation, i.e., a decrease in dopamine receptor availability and changes to downstream signaling effects of dopamine transmission.

Increasing the dosage on the second day of medication vs second year of medication may likely have significantly different effects in regards to the presence of euphoria.
