boy with learning problems. if he's supposed to have ADD, methylphenidate helps RIGHT THE NEXT DAY?????? I thought it causes an increase in hyperactivity first before the beneficial effects show. or do i have it wrong?

EE
when u give the drug(methyphenidate,D-amphetamine)--if they speed up(more hyperactive) then its not ADHD--they are simply hyperactive kidds and if they slow down they have got ADHD.
