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.
