Not really. At least not long term. Amphetamines help correct for a lack of dopamine and norepinephrine, by helping then stay around longer in the brain. It often likened to wearing glasses. There’s non-stimulant medication, and multiple versions of stimulant medication that’s used because it doesn’t affect everyone quite the same way. In neurotypical brains, or rather brains without a deficit of dopamine and norepinephrine, stimulants result in too much hanging around. Instead of going from (to use relative numbers) -9 to -3..0 (like I often feel), a neurotypical brain goes from 0 to 10. It also has tends to have a calming effect on those with ADHD, whereas for neurotypicals it can push you heart rate to above 150. For a number of people I know the affect is small, for me it has been profound. Imagine going from 70% packet loss inside your brain to 0-5%. Not wired just normal. Only for the first 3 decades of my life, I didn’t know this normal existed.
