well, it sounds like two questions:
1. yes AMP can have effects that you get tolerance to, but with holidays or targeted use you can still 'use' those effects, though this kind of use isn't as popular iwth all pdocs. probably more for motivation, but hwat is your experience?
2. does it really matter if you are 'addicted' to the drug or addicted to the results? its probably the case that you aren't really in control of your use. poorly controlled use might still be better than being lazy and unproductive all the time, but its not as good as if you controlled your use better. it sounds like 150mg/day isn't any better for you than 30mg a day, once tolerance is accounted for. if you can't control your intake, then decide on a course of action that doesn't assume you will be able to control it. what level and pattern of use will best help your add and social anxiety? maybe you can have someone else give you a weeks worth of your rx so you can't overuse them. maybe you can realize 150mg use is just borrowing from the future, and stop doing that. or maybe you should try something else, like desipramine/atomoxetine.
it sounds like you understand pretty well how the drug affects you.
