I've taken 20mg Adderall XR or 50mg Vyvanse for over a decade and have no issues quitting it which I regularly have to do when I run out while living abroad. Agreed - much easier to skip than caffeine.
That said, when I meet other people taking these meds, their doctor frequently has started them out on heroic doses. Like 80mg XR + 2x IR tablets a day to bump. Absolutely insane. And I reckon those people have a harder time quitting, especially psychological. The difference between an unmedicated and medicated day is just so extreme.
I've certainly met many people in uni who just can't control themselves with stimulants and quickly find themselves spiraling down the toilet bowl, and those are people I always worry about. Like the person who can't just take one, instead eating them over a 3-day spurt of zero sleep.
