I know addiction, I have been badly addicted to 4 distinct substances/things in my life, and by being respectful and cognisant of the risk of amphetamine abuse, after a year I can say it does not have much addiction potential at therapeutical dose. Euphoria stops happening the second day you are on meds, and when they wear off there is no feeling whatsoever to redose. I honestly just feel I have done a lot and it's time to rest for the day. I am lucky it wears completely off by bed time, so sleep has been great. In my experience, caffeine feels 10x as addictive than dexamfetamine.

> Euphoria stops happening the second day you are on meds It didn't for me. It lasted something like two weeks. And after months it still sort of happens. The euphoria doesn't come directly from the drug, it comes from feeling free and relaxed and in control. From being able to lay in bed and do nothing and feel good about it. Without ever getting bored like what happens all the time without meds. Boredom isn't supposed to be so painful all the time, but it normally is for me. Being free from that is euphoric regardless of the substance I'm taking, honestly.
