Ritalin not addictive thats the same as saying cocaine and meth are not addictive.

But thats not news imo. As that happens constantly. I did it 10 years ago not to play games but to do other stuff at night. I had a prescription though.

It keeps you AWAKE it calms you only down if you are hyperactive. Meth and Cocaine would calm you down too.

I have ADD have problems to maintain focused but am not hyperactive. It keeps me focused and awake if I dose it high enough. People without ADD ADHD will become eventualy hyperactive because of the Dopamine overflow in your Brain. Ofcourse it all depends heavily on the person and dosage.

But its foolish to say it doesnt make you addicted it does a lot actually, not everyone ofcourse ADD/ADHD make it less likely to become addicted. If you are healthy and take Ritalin regulary you become like someone who has ADD/ADHD
if you dont take it depending on how long you take it it takes months, years to go back to the way it was before. I knew people talking 200-500 mg daily. Thats 20-50 standard strength ritalin every day for years, they were basically like meth addicts and became massively psychotic.
