I have been diagnosed with depression and mild ADD. I have been taking Ritalin and now Concerta (long acting form of Ritalin) and I feel very good about it. I also take Zoloft and before that Prozac, for the depression and anxiety. These drugs have really helped my quality of life and I wish I'd had them earlier.
I went back to my elementary school report cards to verify my own recollections. ADD isn't something that pops up in adulthood. So I feel pretty confident about being on the right track.
I don't feel like I'm addicted to the stimulants. I have found a doe that works for me and have no desire to increase it. When it doesn't work for me is when I'm too tired from not getting the sleep I need or not exercising. Both things I can control and should be incorporated into any healthy life style. so I don't look to the drugs to do it all, but I'm glad they can be a part of my overall plan.
