Research supports : We have several long term research studies which support the use of stimulants for the long term in patients. Many measurements are improved with long term stimulant use, including level of education. Job attainment, level of income, chances of successful marriage, median home cost. The reduction of impulsivity over time yields benefits. Risk of drug abuse also is less with long term rx.
