But are there any statistics to suggest that a depressed person is more likely to up the dose to chase a high than a person with ADHD? I mean, they are both euqally trustable patients, and I don't know if a depressed person is more susceptable to the possable euphoric effects.

In fact, there is probably a higher rate of drug abuse in those with ADHD (for whatever reason that is).
