Hi Festus,
I know what you're saying. Based on the medical literature that I've read, the doses used for attention deficit disorder are safe. Some people worry about unforeseen, long-term harm from stimulants. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any longitudinal studies that demonstrate their safety over an extended period of time. Still, I wouldn't sweat it. No, you're not being paranoid.
I take Dexedrine 10mg Spansules, 1 bid (20mg/day). ADD/ADHD runs rampant in my family too.
Rather than looking at it like a "crutch", look at it like a pair of glasses; or how a diabetic might look at their prescribed insulin. Certainly, you can choose to see the glass as half-empty. Ok, you're ADD/ADHD - so what? So am I...and more than 2 million others.
