I am glad to see this topic here. My brother has a now mild form of ADHD but when he was younger he had to take Ritalin (Sp?) which according to my mom, made him little more than a zombie. He still tends to bounce off the walls, but it's a bit tamer. There is one benefit I've heard rumors of in regards of ADHD of which is a faster metabolism. Among African tribes, men with ADHD among the moving tribes were 60% skinnier than the settled tribesmen with ADHD. Of course I might be a little off since this is right off the top of my head, but thats as accurate as I can recall currently. Please continue this fascinating thread!

Oh wow that is interesting I didn't know that, perhaps I will do some research on it. Thanks for the information. Yea I have been on both Rit and aderal in the past they make the person taking them as close to a real life zombie as can actually exist it feels like your watching your life on a movie screen its awfull and all you want to do is sleep
