My two sons & husband were all on Ritalin, and I never found it to be additive. It leaves your system after about 4 hours. When each decided to stop using Ritalin, (for good) there were no ill effects, either physically or mentally. By the way, they all have addition-prone personalities, yet they never used it for a "high".
I mixed up pills one morning and took a ritalin, and, not being ADHD, I did notice an increase in energy, but no more than from a couple cups of java.
Best of luck, whatever you decide.
