A member asked:
Is it common for certain individuals to be unresponsive to prescription stimulants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In some, yes. The primary theory behind using stimulants in issues like ADHD is it stimulates a brain "moderator" utility. This higher function cuts down on random inputs that prevent the person form focusing on the task ahead. In this way, sensitive persons can function more like those not affected by ADHD.
