This study asks abusers how much they use in an average day, and gets numbers from about 300 to 800 mg. An average clinical dose of either Adderall or Desoxyn would be about 20 mg a day.
It also talks about that meth acting more quickly (which can make it more addicting), and people injecting or snorting it (which makes it act more quickly).
Nice source/quote! Just to add my personal experience, when I was first put on modafinil (diphenylmethyl-sulfinylacetamide) for debilitating fatigue and brain fog, I asked my doctor if I’d experience a high or feel super focused. He explained that taking 200mg of modafinil would make an otherwise healthy person 20% more stimulated (for example). But there’s something wrong with me so I’m only functioning at 60% to begin with. When I take 200mg modafinil it also stimulates me by 20%, but that only brings me up to 90% of what a normal healthy person feels like anyway. So I don’t feel a high, I just feel closer to normal. That’s heavily paraphrased and really oversimplified, but it helped me understand it a bit better when I was young and worried about taking all these medications.
Here’s an article by a psychiatrist that goes into more detail.
