What are the long term effects of Dexedrine (for adult ADD)?
Dexedrine is a common treatment for ADD in adults. It is a stimulant that helps with focus and engagement in their work.

But it is an amphetamine and thus has potential for chemical dependence.

Missing a dose or stopping can lead to withdrawal symptoms like depression, anxiety, fatigue, irritability.

Therefore missing a dose may leave an individual feeling less happy, less energetic

Questions:

The longer one takes Dexedrine, will one become more reliant on it for energy/happiness/motivation?
Will the side-effects of not missing a dose get worse over the years?
Are any of these effects permanent?
