Thank you for your post! Your description matches what I've read, that dopaminergic function is like a bell curve. If you're already in the center of the curve, stimulants will push you over into dysfunction; whereas, if you're at the left tail of the curve, stimulants will push you to typical. If 5 college freshmen take Ritalin together, four may be bouncing off the walls and struggling to direct their attention, whereas the fifth may be having a revelation: is this what normal thinking is like? Did I have ADHD this whole time? I've heard a few personal accounts of people sobbing their eyes out once their medication actually works...they think of all the times they struggled with ADHD, and that this pill could've helped them chart their desired course more smoothly.
