Yeah. Who knows, but I hear what you're saying. For me ritalin is a bit rewarding in the sense that it kills the noise in my head (creating a feeling of peace / control). For music, it could be that dopamine creates a degree of synchronization that aids in the appreciation of music. It may too depend on your baseline serotonin levels.
I think there is an interaction with opioid systems. Ritalin has been used to enhance the pain killing property of certain drugs. However, this could be due to the NRI action. NRIs typically enhance the painkilling effect of opioids.

Mirapex is linked to pathalogical gambling. For individuals who succumb to this side effect, there is more reward anticipation than reward itself. If you 'feel' you've already hit the jackpot with the drug, you don't need to keep putting coins in the slots.
