I haven't probed this concept very far yet, but,
As writing style reflects the flow of one's thoughts, I wonder if any generalizations can be made about the seperate ADD medications from looking at from forum to forum by drug topic?

I ask because I think I noticed a difference in the writing from the Strattera forum to the Dexedrine forum. Its like the dexedrine forum was all brief and concise almost like phrased jot notes, and the writing in the Strattera forum seems always perfectly flowing and linear. I find Strattera really helps me to write without having to think twice about what I'm writing --

I also noticed the writing style of a teacher on a combination of Strattera and Ritalin seemed oddly off-topic and extroverted for the post, which has also happened to me while forum posting elsewhere while on Strattera and Ritalin -- just sort of blabbering about details no one else would find interesting or relevant. Like starting a new paragraph and writing "oh whoops -- I just chipped a nail!" when it has nothing to do with anything lol. (not to bash those unnecessarily extroverted of you! : D Anyways! A generalist and vague thought indeed but I'm curious what one could hypothesize from taking broad looks at drugs and writing style.

whoa, interesting perspective... now you've piqued my curiosity... i have some reading to do. ;)

Very interesting subject I think

would it also be accurate to say that the peoples personallity plays a role in what kind of ADD drug they are on? and thus what topic they wrote in, and thus how they wrote it?

but thats a cool subject now im curious

Never thought of that. JustNeedHelp has a very good point (you're pretty smart!!). I think personality plays a big part in it. I tend to ramble on and have long sentenses at times, but at other times I have a short, not really a complete sentense, post. I also think it has a lot to do how far along a person is in their treatment as far as drugs and therapy go. I am just beginning and have a lot left to learn. Maybe with time and education, I will learn how to better harnass my ideas and say what I want to say without having really long sentenses like this one that most people have already stopped reading! :p

The posting here makes me really suspicious of Ritalin (not that I don't already think it's a cheap and terrible drug from personal experience).

I find every Ritalin post either lacks fluency, is weirdly extroverted, or just plain contains too many emoticons (No offense meant to anyone on Ritalin or who posts this way :P I've been to every style and back based on drugs alone)

The lacking fluency thing happens to me for sure if my drugs aren't right, it's like your mind just doesn't think in a linear grammatical fashion so you just sit there cluttering words together until they are coherent enough.
