Of course, it also affects people who actually NEED it (clinical ADHD) differently than people who are just taking it to try to increase performance. That's why a lot of people who have ADHD dislike taking it, because it evens them out and often makes them feel calm/boring compared to how they normally feel, whereas people without ADHD who take it feel focused, energized, and sometimes hyper from it.

Indeed. I had to tinker with my dosages for a spell when I started but once I got dialed in on what works I have been crushing it. That was a number of years ago. i fought it all through adolescence and college. Looking back, if I had known that my brain needed this stuff to function in modern society and how big of an impact it would really have, I would have done things differently. People get all jacked up on it and it just makes me want to kill some spread sheets and do some deep dive research down the rabbit hole.
