I wouldnt call it vastly different. It cant be abused for euphoria, but it still has an addiction warning on the label.

I'm on methylphenidate and if it were addictive I wouldn't forget to take them... well, probably pretty much ever, unless I misunderstand addiction. In reality I forget to take them once or twice a week.

I recently started using one of day-of-the-week pillboxes, so I can tell you this week it was Tuesday.

but youve got ADHD and one of the symptoms is "i forget selective things", therefore you definitely could forget

This is the way. I would absolutely forget to take my Adderall if it weren't in a pillbox next to my toothbrush.

Depends on the drug, vyvanse can't really be, but focalin can.
