I've been taking prescription stimulants (prescribed to me) for a decade and half and there are certainly times when the benefits outweighed the side effects - other times that wasn't the case and the drugs were causing more harm. Finally, this is off topic, but I have say that the drugs are really life changing for someone with ADD, and I feel like more people should have access to them in a safe manner. There has to be millions of people in the general population that are not diagnosed and should be receiving some kind of treatment. Unequal access to mental health services without a doubt results in some people being less effective in the workforce, which leads to further inequality.
