> Yeah, isn't that weird? Hey, you are not the first person to report getting tired on a stimulant though. It happens. If you think about it, it helps calm down overactive kids. What's up with that? Other people, it would send them through the roof.
>The so-called paradoxical effect of stimulants observed in children is a dose-related phenomenon as opposed to a genuine paradoxical effect (which is why I wrote "so-called"). It's not paradoxical at all. If it were, there'd be an actual medical test to diagnose ADHD: a stimulant "challenge". Up the dose and they'll exhibit classical stimulant-induced behavior.
