| > Interesting. FYI ADHD people feel none of that. If anything, the opposite: on stimulants ADHD people feel relaxed and normal, bringing them down from hyperactivity and allowing them to focus on their life. That is common myth. It's a matter of dosage over time. If one takes 120mg of Adderall in one go, then I can assure you they will not be calm nor relaxed. The relaxed feeling comes with a build of tolerance over time and with the lowest therapeutic dosage possible. I won't deny that people with ADHD might perceive more benefits from stimulants than those without ADHD. I person with poor vision probably would perceive more benefit from eyeglass than I do with 20/20 vision. The glasses work the same for both of us, I just don't benefit from the effects. Also, stimulants do not work for about 10%-30% of people with ADHD, and if the reactions were truly that different, then there would be no controversy about testing for ADHD. It'd be as simple as just examining the effects of a pill. In the beginning, I felt euphoric from stimulants and I am ADHD as they come. On the rare occasion, I still might get hit with a glimpse of it. Though that is typically after I take a break from medication for some time. Back when I was in college, I cannot tell you how many people I knew with legitimate ADHD that used to rail Adderall and Adderall XR pills (yes, the XR are just as easy to abuse). Check out this subreddit if you care. Search for the term "ADHD" and you will see how the medication affects a portion of the ADHD population: https://www.reddit.com/r/StopSpeeding/ |
If you have good vision you do not benefit from glasses. In fact it makes things worse, as those with good vision are able to use their eye muscles to adjust focus but the glasses make that harder.
