MB... It didn't seem to me that Shellie was upset at anything you said. I believe what she asked, about why she didn't get high, but in fact, got low on Ritalin, was just what it appeared to be:
a question. Shellie, to answer it... There are a number of people who experience a paradoxical effect with Ritalin. That's why a drug trial alone isn't sufficient to form a diagnosis of ADD. The paradoxical reaction is a good *indicator* but not in itself proof. As to what causes the paradoxical reaction, there are all kinds of theories having to do with everything from spinal alignment and inner ear infections on the one hand and neurological wiring on the other, but as far as I can tell, no one knows for certain why it affects us differently.Take care...
