I think it has the potential to be addictive for some people. If you have a history of addiction, perhaps you should be wary. If you don't, procede slowly and be honest with your doctor, monitoring your use. I have read here many stories of successful use of stims for treatment, without addiction, and a few stories of people who developed cravings for it. Just recently, we heard from a high school student who was using way too much.
But I think that people with little reason to think they have vulnerability to addiction can consider taking stims for treatment, following doctors orders, of course. Just mho.
