Honestly I do not think any of these drugs really work. Notice how the article does not cite any studies showing these drugs work on people that are not suffering any mental disorders.
I remember in college there were some people that thought they could take a pill to make them smarter but from my perception those people started out dumb and stayed dumb after they took their pills.
I am sure that if someone has ADD they may benefit from drugs that are prescribed to treat that but I doubt there would be a benefit otherwise.
So no, they should not be treated like steroids. The main problem with steroids is that they work.
