ADHD meds, while they did give an amazing ability focus that I have never experienced before I took them or after I stopped, were most definitely euphoria-inducing stimulants, and they can most definitely be addictive.



Individual/personal experience doesn’t generalize to all users.

It’s useful to be aware of the potential for certain effects and addiction, but this is not an inherent property that impacts all users equally.

May be better to frame this as: depending on your physiology, you may be predisposed to certain effects and/or resulting addiction. Similar things can be said about alcohol/cannabis. Physical or psychological addiction happens, but not all users are susceptible in the same ways.
