And therein lies the problem with making generalizations from single data points. Supposedly I have ADHD as well (I'm diagnosed such at least), and I generally become more mellow after taking adderall. I think the moral of this further anecdote is that generalizations should not be made on either of our experiences. Add into that the confounding factors of human bodies not being identical and having differing reactions to the same stimuli, and it becomes an even more dangerous game.

- girvo 10y agoEven more anecdotally, back when I was young and took amphetamines, it would mellow me out despite not having ADHD. Taking opiates would stimulate me. Bodies and minds are quirky.
