You should know better than suggesting your anecdote is enough to prove a myth either way. Stimulants aren't magical medications that affect all ADHD people radically differently than neurotypicals. You are just experiencing a very common phenomena where drugs impact some people differently.

Yes, I am experiencing a very common phenomena where drugs impact the people with the condition the drug is prescribed for differently than those without it. Is is it so hard to make this leap?
- operatingthetan 4y agoI'm a person with diagnosed ADHD and I know a lot of people with ADHD and none of us experience that with stimulants. You're generalizing that all ADHD people experience the opposite effect, so I don't find your argument credible. These drugs were not designed and created for ADHD. They were discovered separately. They alleviate some of the symptoms of ADHD, but it doesn't suddenly make you act and think like a neurotypical. You act and think like an ADHD person on speed. Also, a lot of people who take them have very positive and unrealistic beliefs about them because they are high on the drug.
