I am ADHD which is why =<br>I ask these<br>questions all the time. If a person with hyperactivity is given a =<br>direct derivative<br>of speed (Concerta is my medication), why does that help us to "calm =<br>down" and be<br>able to focus on what is needed? Is it just the more motivation point =<br>that you also<br>said in lecture? Also, are there any stimulant drugs out there, on the =<br>legal end of! <br>things, that can help a person with ADHD to concentrate without the =<br>extra<br>hyperactiveness as an added "bonus"? Was going to ask during class but =<br>not everyone<br>is as interested as I am on this topic.
