I and my friends who have ADD are not addicted to anything. I don’t even drink and my other two friends rarely drink and one doesn’t even want to take the meds. I think this problem is the result of his having taken cocaine which altered his brain chemistry and it would take a long time to get over that. I think I read once that ritalin is sometimes associated with the feeling of cocaine. It is possible that he started cocaine use to self medicate for the ADD. Unfortunately, that was a bad choice. Cocaine creates an orgasmic feeling of reward without doing anything to achieve it. Maybe Wellbutrin only, would be a better choice for a while and then maybe switching to time released Adderall.
I really hope he gets better.
