If you started doing cocaine, the first month may also be highly productive. All drug habits start out good. Hopefully it's sustainable and not too unhealthy.
The difference between cocaine and ADHD meds is that the feeling of being on an amphetamine analogous is not a pleasant one. Although it is possible to become reliant on ADHD meds, I think it's pretty difficult to become addicted. Classic amphetamines may be a different case, however, and Addy is pretty close to a classic amphetamine. And then you have methamphetamines, which are rarely prescribed any longer because they're so addictive.
100% disagree I have worked with co-workers who took a lot of adderall due to tolerance and they had to be terminated because they had meth like rageouts. Don't kid yourself, Adderall is an amphetamine just like meth is.
A hallmark of "real ADD" is that tolerance typically doesn't build. Once you are at an appropriate dose you can stay there. The treatment is supposed to reduce inattentiveness and improve focus. If abused or used recreationally, it has the opposite effect, to stimulate and enhance mood, to create a kind of manic energy. I've been at the same dose for over 7 years with no noticeable tolerance.
