Sorry, folks, this is me WITHOUT drugs. 
It's so weird to me that people take ADD medications for enjoyment, but that's because I technically need them but refuse to take them. I have issues with side effects with most prescription pills, I'm better off medicating with weed (pain reliever) and booze (muscle relaxer).
I've been prescribed just about everything for ADD on the market between age 5 and 17 (so 1994-2006), and I got switched around constantly because I always had awful side effects. One made me eat all the time, one gave me no appetite, one would make me an emotional roller coaster, another would turn me into a zombie, one made me sleep all night, another made me never sleep. If I recall correctly, Adderall wasn't the worst, but it kept me mellow enough that when I came to high school without taking it for a while, people asked me to share whatever I was on.
I can't even abuse prescription painkillers, I don't even take them as frequently as my prescriptions say to, because side of. I don't get loopy on them, I just pass the fuck out and can't even appreciate not being in pain because I'm asleep. I get sleepy on shit you're not supposed to, like freaking Prednisone - I gave some of them to my cousin, and it kept her wired, while I could barely keep my eyes open. Tramadol makes me unreasonably constipated.
I wish weed was cheaper because it actually manages my pain pretty well. If I smoke a bowl, I have no pain for 24 hours. A blunt, three days. Smoking is hard on my throat, though, so I've made edibles a few times, and after accidentally being high for 22 hours straight because I put too much cannabutter on my toast, I figured out the correct dosage to use. I don't use alcohol for pain relief often, but it's effective in a pinch and I don't get hangovers, my only concern is that it's so bad for the liver.
I'm incredibly boring.
My back, due to numerous injuries, hereditary issues, and the fun that is a sit-down job. Any fixes for it are temporary, so I operate at a constant level of pain.
Long hours in a seated position sure doesn't help. There are specific exercises to help with the back pain though. They relieve some pain in the long term.
Yeah, I've never used mine recreationally, either. I didn't know I was ADD until after college (my parents claimed I was "just naturally a lazy, weird, space-cadet"), so taking meds for the first time was really eye-opening. It was enjoyable in the sense that I felt more like a human and less like a total fuckup or a sloth stuck in molasses. Also, adrenaline in the right context goes straight to my pussy, so when I first started taking it or resumed after a break, there was a nice, horny high for a little bit. When I say that I like it, it's more in the "being functional feels awesome" way and less the "let's get fucked up and party, bitches" way.
Yes, me too! At least I have basically zero risk of opioid addiction, since there'd be no enjoyment or advantage for me.
A friend who was still working on his cannabutter recipe once gave me a "test batch" muffin without telling me what was in it until after I'd eaten it. Not cool. It was so strong, and I had to go to a government job while I was high for 3 days. His poor wife also didn't know what was in the muffins and ate 4 of them before he stopped her. I think she took the whole week off.
Wow! I empathize with you in the back pain situation though I wish I had boobs like that.
I'm sorry. When I read the first sentence of your post the Dis Equis guy popped into my head.

Sorry, too late to edit. That should read "DOS Equis". (Damn typovarmits.)I'm sorry. When I read the first sentence of your post the Dis Equis guy popped into my head.
