Hi Deneb,
"I think they are basically a form of legal speed."
I think, I could be wrong, that when you have the imbalance that causes ADD/ADHD, the stimulants do not react as 'speed' as you say.
Sor far I've been taking Ritalin (20 mg. x 2) for 2 days--it feels more like I took a Xanax than anything. Even when I took the first dose, that nervous feeling in my chest (that Xanax takes away)--went away w/in an hour. It was calming. It's like Xanax with a bonus of having a calmer mind when I do mental things...but it doesn't really help my focus as I had hoped. Not yet anyway. Nothing like speed though. Although I've never tried 'speed'--I've heard a lot about it.
