     I have pondered this paradox and have this thought.  I take another
     type of stimulant called Cylert.  It definitely makes me more hyper
     but the increase in the ability to concentrate puts me in control of
     my behaviour.  i.e. I am more hyper on the inside but less hyper on
     the outside.  This makes sense to me at least.  Sometimes the energy
     still gets away on me though.
