Anyone have any experiences of using it, legally or not?

Your better of just getting some regular phet.
If I did, I still don't think I'd be too keen to taking phet type substance on a daily basis. Has some pretty crappy side effects.
Regarding the medical use of Ritalin, I also don't have ADHD, but yeah I'm sure they can become addictive.
I personally wouldn't want to take it on a long term basis
Bear in mind, there is still a real lack of evidence that Ritalin is useful in the treatment of ADHD. There's also a very real chance of addiction and some unpleasant side effects.
Definately not worth self medicating with. If you want to take it I suggest you see a doctor about it.
At the moment I'm looking at about 12 months before I get diagnosed officially but as anyone with ADD will tell you it's a living hell and there's not much I won't try.
