Well, my belief has always been that a low dose stimulant (particularly the "feel-good" stimulants like the amphetamines) will give ANYONE
that sense of "inner focus". This can be easily interpreted as a calming effect, particularly if the person usually lacks inner focus, such as an ADD or ADHDer.
Apparently, there is some research to show that there may be a true "reverse effect" going on. It just always seemed unlikely to me.
