I heard this too. Sometimes cholinergic drugs such as lecethin and aricept can have antimanic and mood stabalizing effects. I would think in part, psychostimulants calm by activating the prefrontal cortex. But I do know that ritalin has fair affinity for the serotonin transporter, and this was purportedly the mechanism that produced the calming effect of it.
I personnally find psychostimulants very depressing.
