Some people say the running commentary slowed. None of those reports, on its own, shows that stimulants have a labelled effect on inner commentary. Labels and NHS information describe attention and behaviour, not an inner narrator as a treatment target. If the change is persistent, distressing, or affecting daily functioning, bring a brief timeline to the prescribing clinician rather than changing the dose independently.
