It seems that this study was conducted for NT people (I would hope they controlled for attentional issues), so I kinda get that. It would make a lot more sense tho to compare - caffeine, Adderall, and placebo.
Side note, as someone with ADHD, Adderall is the fucking devil. It makes me jittery and bitchy, and it was only formulated so Shire could have something to sell under a patent after the Dexedrine patent ran out. I wish it would go away.
That's interesting. Adderall is the only medication that helps with my ADHD. It has its side effects that I'm not always a fan of, but I've titrated down to a low enough dose that those don't really bother me anymore. Vivance on the other hand was awful, I hated being on that.
