Unmedicated ADHD causes a great deal of anxiety. Making your brain operate as intended reduces anxiety, which lowers your vitals.
That said, whether I'm oversensitive or more attuned than most ADHD people, I take a light dose, which doesn't turn me into a productive robot machine going 1000 mph.
Stimulants follow a U-curve, and I wouldn't be surprised to know that most people take far too much and have to keep increasing their dosage. A single 30 mg dose makes my anxiety skyrocket, I usually take 20mg twice a day, I've recently experimented with lowering to 15mg twice a day and I think I like it even better.
