Tulpas and Adderal?

[jean-luc]

Has anyone with an Adderal(or similar) prescription tried tulpamancing with and without the medication in effect? Did things work better, worse, or the same?

Just got prescribed Adderall last month and mainly used it for studying and stuff but I'm waiting on this refill and then I promise to get back to you on active forcing. As for passive forcing, eh it was basically the same, maybe a bit better, but nothing like taking your tulpa skills from 5/10 to 10/10.

Alright here's a little info that'll maybe add a bit of insight. I was on Adderall and similar pills from a young age up until I was 18 for ADHD, and I'm 23 now and recently got a prescription so I could study for my GED.

 

I've had Elia for almost a year and a half now, and before today I just hated active forcing because my mind would just constantly wander, I couldn't focus on her and the wonderland for more than 5 minutes before I started thinking about dinner and that cool video game that's coming out. It really felt like a chore, and I would feel bad because I'd always just ask if we could just talk while we do other stuff. Its always just been easier passive forcing, so we kinda gave up {Read as,"He totally gave up"} on active forcing and today was the first time we've had a real session since around May.

 

With the adderall today, I couldn't hear her clearer, or visualize any better, but I was able to sit there with my eyes closed for 40 minutes easy, just talking to her in my mind. I guess maybe on my end the conversation was a little bit clearer but just because my mind would shut up and listen instead of wandering, but I wouldn't say her voice was louder or any more defined than usual. I definitely could have forced at least another hour easily if I had wanted to.

 

So, in my experience and my opinion, adderall definitely has potential for helping with tulpamancy, if you have trouble clearing your thoughts, or if you have trouble sitting still and forcing for more than a short period of time. Even if you don't have these problems, you probably wouldn't mind forcing for an extra hour or even 2 on Adderall. I dont believe it will enhance your skills but it damn sure'll help you focus on working on em.
