why do stimulants have a calming effect for people with ADHD?
In: 2471
I hate be that guy, but they don’t always. That stigma can give people with ADHD a type of imposter syndrome. They get the diagnosis, get meds, take Adderall, drinking coffee like usually, and end up overstimulating and feeling anxious/jittery. That still happens in ADHD people. We don’t have a superhuman resistance to stimulants.
What really happens is the non stop rambling and stuff we do in our heads shuts the hell up. That’s the biggest “calming effect” some of us get. That’s how it is for me plus a small sleepy feeling for the first 20 minutes it kicks in. It doesn’t really feel like a Xanax though haha (in very few ways it does though).
