> One of the things that bothers me a lot is the common perception that stimulants have a "reverse effect" on ADD/ADHD patients, which is completely FALSE.


My psychiatrist says that his adult ADD patients almost always get a relaxed sensation from stimulants. He even went so far as to say that that reaction is the best diagnostic criterion for ADD.

I'm gonna do a little Medlining, but meanwhile do you have some references about ADD patient's reaction to stimulants?

Cheers,

Britt
