So there’s two lines of thought here;
1 is that the first time you take it, the meds have the best effect and you finally have a functional day, but better, it almost feels like Felix felicis from Harry Potter. Some view it as what should be striven for, which unfortunately can end up with people chasing that first time feeling again, leading to increasing the dose more and more despite side effects.
2 is that after taking the meds for a few months, you’ve gained a tolerance, its less euphoric but actually more functional because you aren’t chasing the euphoria (or the dopamine from starting a different task).
Personally I find IR meds to up and down for my day to day, XR is a lot more comfortable long term




100% percent possible, Ive used ones that are over 100 years old that use literal needles on the play head
The only thing that really breaks on them is the old elastic wound up with a hand crack to power them (which is relatively replaceable)
