While it may be "legalized speed" Adderall for someone with ADHD causes the opposite affect of someone who takes it without ADHD. Adderall allows us to focus, it does not speed us up as it does a recreational user.

Bottom line, medication is simply a tool just as a wheelchair is a tool for someone who cannot walk. That being said, medication is not the end all do all for those of us with ADD or ADHD, we have to develop other coping mechanisms to assist us especially in periods of high stress or high activity around us (such as in noisy environments, or crowds where there is constant movement, etc).
