> PS...I have never been tempted to misuse the ritalin, take more, or increase the frequency, etc. Which is not the case with cafeine--I have developed serious cafeine dependency many times, quit many times, only to get hooked again, needing more and more with less and less effectiveness.
This is all very interesting to me. I've never been a real caffeine addict; mostly, just drank Diet Coke 24/7 for years until I quit about a year ago, but that's not like drinking coffee all day like many people. One of the things that's plagued me all my life, though, is low energy/fatigue, and I'm kind of amazed that no one has ever suggested that I try any kind of stimulant or Ritalin--the best I've gotten is "energizing" ADs, which haven't helped.
