I agree, I wasn't trying to imply that relaxation from stimulants would be -the- diagnosis for adhd, but if people with adhd tend to relax from the meds and people without adhd tend to not relax, then the claim that it's a myth th

You basically said that you're dismissing this guy wholesale because of one small part of the article that is not that important to its overall point. How is that not a low-brow, low-content "reddit"-like comment?
