Perhaps I misunderstood your comment, you said that people with ADHD react differently and I was assuming you meant they do not respond in the same manor as someone else who just took a stimulant.

Often you hear this saying that people with ADHD feel relaxed when they take a stimulant and don't feel any increased energy or mood lift, which of course is false. That's what I was referring to.

People who are already energetic may not notice increased energy at therapeutic doses, though I certainly noticed. I don't think anybody feels relaxed, but it does quiet the hyperactive impulses and behaviors, which can easily be mistaken for being relaxed.
