At least for the college students (that I've encountered) who take it without being diagnosed w/ add, they claim it works (although it could be a placebo, I'd doubt it). For the women you referred to, Mal, that's just the nature of Drugs: the effects it has on a person can vary widly (which is dangerous and beneficial).
I've noticed that if I drink a coffee beverage, I become a lot more wired and have a higher ability to focus although that's another dangerous line to cross (caffeine dependency) and it's detrimental to my ability to focus if I have too much (I just become too wired, wide awake, slightly like a zombie, kind of out of a 'shell/world'.)
Now that's a crazy feeling (sometimes it feels good, sometimes it doesn't, it just varies).
