No, because I have ADHD. Those who do not will experience differential effects.
That, and like all mental disorders, the medication will effect people differently. So you and someone else with ADHD can have different reactions to the same meds.
My brother and I both have ADHD, and both were on ritalin when we were younger; made him more hyperactive, and made me just completely zone out even more than I did already. Needless to say neither of us were on it long.
On one hand, while it's annoying that I have an incredibly hard time paying attention to things, on the other I don't think I'd've gotten as far with my artwork as I have...

Naturally, but those who lack the disorder will become tired. Methylphenidate has amazingly differential effects on people with certain disorders. Hell, people with narcolepsy take Ritalin to help keep themselves aware and awake, per se.
Usually, Methylphenidate used on entities with ADHD gives them a relaxed and aware feeling, centering them to concentrate. Those who do not have ADHD may feel extreme drowsiness due to the fact they are not hyper.

Usually but not always; it also depends on the severity of the person's ADHD, as well as other factors, such as if they have another disorder as well.
Ahh, the fun world of the effects of prescription drugs. Something I won't touch with a 10 foot pole 😛

There's no such thing as 'ADD.' Everyone has trouble concentrating every once in a while. It's just a madeup disorder so they can sell bullshit 'medicine' that actually makes the 'afflicted' one boring and despondent. I know, I had a friend who had this so-called 'ADD'
Please tell me you're being sarcastic, dear 🤨

Naturally, the effects will alter depending on the person.
LOL! God, some Prescription drugs are worse than illegal narcotics. 😛

A little. I know it's a real disorder, but I still think it's unnecessary to medicate for it, it makes the people less fun
Well, I'm personally of the belief that in general, doctors overmedicate people. However, there ARE cases where medication is the only thing that will help that person. Better for them to be able to keep their disorder under control and be a bit 'less fun' in the eyes of someone else, than be unable to control themselves.

I'm actually majoring in psychology, and eventually going for a doctorate. I decided right off the bat that no I will NOT be a psychiatrist, because for starters the actual medical side of psychology does not interest me that much, and anyway...yeah. Don't want to deal with the mess that is medicine. I'm much more interested in working out what causes things and that sort of thing.

I was the most hyperactive nut case ever.
I'm very fidgety, and can get hyperactive, but as a whole I just simply cannot focus on and pay attention to things. I was one of those kids in high school that never did any work, completely zoned out in class because I was bored mindless, and still aced my tests. 'Twas interesting, but I've really got to force myself to at least TRY and focus now. Which is hard.

I'm EXTREMELY fidgety. I always have to play with something in my hands or chew on gum. I only like paying attentions to things that interest me. School was not one of them.
Yeah, I want to be a lawyer, just so I have an excuse to debate and to make money doing it. 😛
