72 hours or nearly so, and basically worked the whole time too. It was the first time my roommate gave me Adderall to try. I did around 2 weeks worth of work in my auto body shop, then slept like 14 hours straight. To top that off I was around 350 pounds too. A week later I was on the stuff legit. Three years later I was racing bicycles and under 190 pounds. Three years after that, I was disabled from a crash with 2 SUVs.

About a week ; there were some very hard drugs involved, and I credit that experience with getting cleaned up. Started seeing "shadow people" in my very peripheral vision.

Holy cow. I hope you are well now. Congrats on the weight loss all the same.

Technically, five days, though it was barely over the line.
I was hallucinating by the end of it. It was intentional, one summer during high school, just to see what it would be like.
It be like something I'll never do again. Took me weeks to feel right again

Haven't gone more than 24 hours, if I had to guess maybe 20 hours.

In 1989 I was one of the participants in the (then) Guinness World Record Endurance Computing held at the Hobby Computer Club days (HCC dagen) in the Netherlands.
The record was for 63.5 hours, but I had a two hour or so commute in each direction and the event started (from memory) at noon.
I'm guessing that I was awake in total for about 70 hours. I fell asleep on the way home.
We published a newsletter called "Elephant News" every few hours. Time keeping was managed by official time keepers and it was entered into the Guinness World Records in the 1990 book. I have a copy somewhere.
At some point not long after, Guinness abolished all world records that only had a time component and as far as I know it still stands

72 hours to finish a design project for a client. Hard deadline to make it to the printers in time for a trade show. By the end, I couldn't see straight. Slept for 18 hours after handing it in.
Saw the end product at the trade show. Horrified to pick out so many small errors. Customer was happy, though. Got two more projects.
Never did it again, but it was good to know I could.

My answer is almost exactly the same as yours. It was me and my friend doing it together.

Around three days. No drugs, just showers and energy drinks I took sip by sip for a long time. I was somehow productive, but caught my attention stuck a couple of times on something banal like a working microwave buzz. Everything felt dull and I seemingly had no emotions near the end.

Maybe 2 and a half days, helped by ecstasy and LSD.

The best and only way for a 48 ride ! Although It can be the best ride ever, or the worst nightmare you will ever experience :/. Either way those experience are the two sides of the same coin !

3 days. Mostly just eating fruit and water. Caffeine and processed sugar leads to crashes that I'd learned from previously. I could have done 4 days, but I began to notice that I was not paying very good attention to passing traffic when crossing the road, so I stopped.
