Normal Person? Stimulants like focalin or adderall effect EVERYONE the same, even if you have ADD/ADHD. Focalin is the D isomer of MethylPhenidate. MethylPhenidate is structurally similar to Cocaine, the effects when snorted also act like a average grade dose of cocaine. Taking it orally will work much like cocaine just less of a rush. If you're looking for a ADHD drug "high", I would look more into Adderall (Amphetamine).
You can snort Focalin and it will give you a speedy high. It is an ADHD medication similar to Ritalin. The others you mention wont provide desirable effects.
In my opinion, your doctor should be telling you what kind of medications. Such a medication is Adderall. In addition, treatment for ADHD has been found extremely helpful and effective when behavioral therapy is also included, as well as medication.
Some people are able to manage their ADHD without any medication, but instead receive therapy and counseling. However, several people that use medication have reported that it helps a lot. The most common medication for ADHD is methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta), and can be obtained by asking your mental health doctor about it. Usually he/she will give you a free sample to try it out. The two major types of methylphenidate are Ritalin (quick release) and Concerta (slow/prolonged release) which both have similar effects.
