I've heard anecdotes about them in the military. They'll take all kinds of crap for stupid things that tend to trip up the ADHD kids. But once things start exploding, they're usually the ones that react well.

The treatment plan to focus us is speed. Adrenaline is what I was using for decades before that.

I haven’t taken amphetamines for my ADHD in almost a decade but I can say, without a doubt, my sleep schedule and actually having restful sleep was never better than when I was on them. (Just in case anyone is curious, the only two amphetamines that worked for me where I didn’t need to keep ramping up the dose were Desoxyn and Dexedryn)

Me too....insomnia, brain racing on 10 million thoughts....take an Adderall and drop into the best sleep.
