Stimulants (not caffeine)

Espressocycle

My body chemistry is kinda weird and coffee, while nice and relaxing, doesn't wake me up. I can drink four cups and pass out on the couch an hour later. Are there any other legal substances that might give me a little pick-me-up? I tried cocaine a couple times in college and it didn't do anything for me either. I was put on adderall for my ADD, but it did nothing but give me heartburn and I was still pretty sleepy. Licorice tea seems to give me a little bit of alertness, but not much. Any ideas? The only thing that reliably gets me going is alcohol, but try getting anything done when you're drunk!
