Default Re: Adderall and Online Poker

Try something herbal (no, not THAT herb-al) first. Ginko-biloba, or however it's spelled. Do LOTS of research on any mood-altering drug before you take any. Asking here on the boards is one way to get feedback from others who have done the same thing, but don't rely solely on it to make any decisions.

On a semi-related note, FIDE, the international chess federation was applying for entry into the IOC (International Olympic Committee), but dropped out due to drug testing policies. The argument from FIDE is that there isn't a drug that will artificially enhance a chess-players' skill. No equivalent to steroids. It's a little more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it.

If drugs won't signifigantly help a chess player, then I think they are relatively unlikely to help a poker player.
