> If stimulant medications make me feel better, does that suggest ADD?
Not necessarily. Stimulants have antidepressant effects in some people, for example; see early research on what is now known as atypical depression. The lines between these categories can be quite blurred, of course.
I think that euphoria is seldom a side effect when people start taking them for ADD, for example: the doses used are simply too low. And anyway, not everyone finds stimulants euphoric or even pleasant.
