I guess that makes sense given that she was crazy from stress rather than from being inherently crazy.

@Techy Pony  
Not really. After some alcohol, those stressful things that are making you a nervous wreck don’t seem so serious anymore.

Drugs like Ritalin tend to have adverse effects on just about everyone anyway. It was pushed as sort of a miracle drug in the 90s by elementary school teachers who got sick of dealing with energetic children who were doing nothing more than being GASP! energetic children. I was really glad when they passed the law that forbade teachers from recommending pharmaceuticals as an immediate answer to odd behavior.
 
Also, pretty funny gif. Now back to my screwdriver.

What’s wrong with her leg?

Hello there, I have ADD and was on Ritalin at one point, it didn’t calm me down as it’s for ADHD.

@thps48  
Basically ADD/ADHD makes your body produce way too many natural stimulants. By giving it a small dose of artificial stimulants, it halts production for a while because while an ADHD person’s body no longer seems to recognize it is more than stimulated enough naturally, the artificial stuff makes it go “oh, okay we’re good now.”
 
Or something like that. I was for some strange reason having trouble focusing when it was explained to me.

@Techy Pony  
A while back there was a theory like this. “Snake Pit Theory” it was called, stated that what would make a normal person insane would make an insane person normal. Don’t ask me how but people honestly believed it.

@thps48  
If I remember correctly from my little time in psychology taking a pill for a mental disorder and do not have said disorder you will experiance symptoms of the disorder. In the very least that’s how it is with ritalin. Its known as “vitamin R” apparently and if you don’t have ADD and you take it you experiance “something similar to a cocaine high though lighter in strength and longer in duration”.

@amess  
What are you talking about? That’s crazy.
 

@thps48  
Those are basically amphetamines, if you have ADD they stimulate the part of the brain that calms you down but if you don’t they act like you might expect (i.e. like caffeine X10).

@Prof.NightJack  
Some show jokingly taught me the theory Ritalin and/or Adderall can make one person go one way and another person another way, but I’ve forgotten which show. :\

Pfffhahahaha! XD

@HumanaeVitae  
For some Ritalin would make like the first.

@HumanaeVitae  
But then she might realise major league baseball is controling the world!

You’d think it’d have the opposite effect.

somebody needs to edit in a box of Ritalin.
