What a wild, unsubstantiated take. It's wild to suggest ADHD medications are dulling emotions and wild to suggest that this effect is less damaging than the developmental disorder which is unmedicated moderate to severe ADHD. I have watched this disorder destroy people to the point of homelessness. I've had my own struggles with it in the past. And your comment isn't even accounting for comorbidities such as severe anxiety or depression, or complications from broken executive function such as not taking care of your body, not exercising and not eating healthily. I don't think you know much about ADHD at all.

Well they dull emotions as you probably don't snap and hit some bystander/teacher/parent/friend, but also you probably feel as normal people feel as 'fine' which might be issue for some people eg if you are musician and you need strong emotions to perform. But good thing with stimulants is that effects are pretty short term and if you feel that they dull emotions too much for now you just can stop taking those for moment and then continue when you need it.
