One of the most common treatments for ADHD is essentially just amphetamines. Not a doctor, but it seems like CNS stimulants generally have this affect on some people with attention disorders.

I self-medicate ADD with nicotine and it does help. It's fairly addictive though, so, I wouldn't exactly recommend it.

Yeah, stopping is the problem for me. I can deal with the cravings for more... but damn if I don't get pissed off, cranky and depressed without it. It was way easier to quit Adderall.
