There are some old threads about it here. One of them, from 2008, featuring my own experience with the drug, can be found here:
https://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20080519/msgs/831072.htmlI tried it for depression, in combination with methylphenidate (Concerta), but it turned out to be more useful as a nootropic for ADD, or more particularly, working memory dysfunction.
It can be addictive, but I (was forced to) quit cold-turkey, and there was no withdrawal syndrome.
