[quote=Anonymous]To follow up on above, this is why its inportant not to take ADHD medication if you don’t have adhd (especially as a kid). If it makes your dopamine receptors more sensitive, that could be really great for a person who has deficient dopamine receptors but terrible for a person who has normal dopamine receptors or receptors that are already more sensitive. Maybe a better analogy is braces on legs—good and necessary if you have a medical issue with your legs but really hamrful if you have properly developing or even superior legs. It’s why no one should try medication as a first option. You wouldnt want to put leg braces on a kid that just needs to get out and run around more.[/quote]
