    I don't think it does, then again I don't know what it's like to be in trucking without add, so I can't really compare.

    I'm about to be put on medication because in my current job (teacher) we think it'll help. Don't know if I'd need it driving.

    Yes I know that, but ADD and ADHD aren't amphetamines.

    People who claim to need amphetamines for trucking are being deceived by their addicted brains..
