I belive a lot of this "addictive effect" is simply because most of us have had the chemical imbalance for so long that it's a huge rush to finally feel what's supposed to be "normal" again.

I beleive many of us have norepinephrine and dopamine depletions which is what Ritalin works on (just like the amphetanines). However, these "stimulants" burn us out and leave us crashing because we "burn up" the neurotransmitters instead of keep using them... I believe Cocaine for instance doesn't leave a crash because it doesn't "burn up" the dopamine like amphetamines do.

I like Strattera which is only a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor ...
