The "irritability" was more to do with increased assertiveness and a disinhibiting effect accompanied by being more aware of what's going on. Difficult to describe, but it seemed to work on my ADHD symptoms, especially short term working memory. Improved working memory makes it a little easier to become irritable in my case.
