Is Dexamfetamine Addictive: From Dr Alison Poulton https://www.poultonadhd.com.au/:

Our literature review investigating the evidence that dexamfetamine is addictive found a dearth of evidence and a lot of innuendo. The only actual evidence that we could find was 4 poorly documented cases.

This is not only heartening for patients and parents of children treated for ADHD. But it matters clinically that the whole arduous and restrictive processes around prescribing for ADHD is underpinned by evidence that is essentially anecdotal.
