> And beyond that, this simply is a misconception and myth perpetuated by uneducated people. ADHD patients calm down when they take Adderall because they’ve been on it for years and have a tolerance.

Hmm I have to disagree here. Even with my first dosage of Concerta (Methylphenidate) on no tolerance, I started feeling calmer. Like a lot of the chatter in my head got muted and I stopped jumping from thought to thought like a pingpong ball. This experience matches with other friends that have ADHD.

On the other hand when I give them out to friends for trying more often the other person ended up not being able to concentrate due to restlessness or wanting to do a lot of things at the same time (kind causing similar things that it gets rid of for me)
