I did check a PDR, and other drug books.  They stated that those with mental 
disturbances may self-medicate themselves into toxicity, and they used terms 
like habituation, but addiction was not mentioned at all.
As I've said before, if Ritalin were addictive then people wouldn't have so 
much trouble remembering to take it.  When have you ever heard of an 
alcoholic, heroin addict, or smoker forgetting to dose themselves?
