Its difficult to say. I think that people who have used these meds to treat genuine mental ilnesses probably get more mileage out of them.
Why? I think it comes down to homeostasis. The brain always tries to get to homeostasis which is proably the healthiest state of mind. If you feel better than well, your brain will start to try and counteract that. But if you are using the drug to move to a more normal state of mind, the brain might work to accomodate the drug rather than reject it.
It seems to be the case with stimulants too. When they're used for genuine attention problems, there is a case put forward that you don't see as much poop out.
