Perhaps for non-ADHD people. There's a common meme on ADHD channels about forgetting to take it and how hard it is to remember to take it daily. Some days you just don't want to take it and straightjacket your brain.

For me getting off a regular dosage just caused a bit of extra sleepiness for a week or two. I drank like 2 redbulls a day for a bit. There is a bit of addictiveness because its nice to be able to function like normal people day to day -- like paying bills on time because your brain has enough dopamine for a boring chore.

Its nothing nearly as addictive or habit forming as SSRI's that are given out like candy.
