Has anyone has any experience with this combination?
With caffeine and theanine being such a popular combination, I can only imagine replacing caffeine with adderall would produce beneficial effects.

Could it perhaps be mildly protective against excitotoxicity? I know it antagonizes certain glutamate receptors (not sure of the extent).
I think it'd be worthwhile to see a writing compare the direct effects on the brain of caffeine vs. amphetamines. There are a lot of misconceptions...maybe something I could write up!

Yes, it might be mildly neuroprotective. It stimulates GABA release, so it will provide some inhibitory compensation for the glutamate release that the amphetamine instigates.

Sure, go for it. We've had a couple discussions on it before, but it would take me forever to find the comments. The effects are very different in mechanism. However, there is crossover in effects.
