It's not just my psychiatrist. Here are some references:
Gainetdinov RR, Wetsel WC, Jones SR, Levin ED, Jaber M, Caron MG.
Role of serotonin in the paradoxical calming effect of psychostimulants on hyperactivity.
Science. 1999 Jan 15;283(5400):397-401.
PMID: 9888856 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
Millard WJ, Standish LJ.
The paradoxical effect of central nervous system stimulants on hyperactivity: a paradox unexplained by the rate-dependent effect.
J Nerv Ment Dis. 1982 Aug;170(8):499-501.

Arnold LE.
Paradoxical dextroamphetamine response.
Psychosomatics. 1981 Sep;22(9):805. No abstract available.
PMID: 7313058 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
Sorry I couldn't include abstracts as MedLine seems to have it's abstract server down. I'm not sure if all of these support my psychiatrist's contention, but the titles are suggestive.
Cheers,Britt
