This mostly depends on the person. Some people can take amphetamines their whole life and never get addicted, while others might find themselves addicted after only a few uses. In general, about 17% of people who try amphetamines end up addicted at some point.

Also, it seems that either you are susceptible to addiction or you aren't, and this predisposition is mostly hereditary. People who aren't susceptible probably won't become addicted even if they take the drugs for a long time. If you are susceptible you won't necessarily become addicted, but the more you take the drug, the greater the risk.

Amphetamines are relatively addictive compared to other drugs - i.e. a greater percentage of people are prone to addiction, and the addiction happens faster if it does happen. For comparison, 10-12% of people who get drunk at some point go on to become alcoholics, while as many as 75% of people who try tobacco end up smokers.

These numbers are from one study, and they seem accurate to me based on personal experience, but there is a lot of controversy around this issue in the scientific community and good, unbiased research is very hard to find.

it just depends on if you can do it or not. if you have the strength to cut on it altogether and never touch a bit again it shouldn't take that long. whereas if u cant help but carry on taking it then it could take for ever

Speed is not a drug. It is a catch-all term for central nervous system stimulants like amphetamine, methamphetamine, and similar drugs such as methylphenidate, and is occasionally used to refer to cocaine.

All CNS stimulants are addictive if used to excess, and the onset of addiction is rapid.

It depends on the person.

If you have the motivation, support, courage, and the right help, it should be easy. Friends and family should help, also finding a counselor helps. some people take months, others can take years.

Looking into a 12-step program will help anyone with an addiction. A 12-step program brings people into your life with the same problems or at least similar problems.

There are people in the world who want to help. If you want to get help, if you want to make your life right, and you want help, ask others around you. Get support from your friends and family. And believe in yourself. If you don't believe, nothing will happen. Keep your head high, and live your life how you want it, but be careful.
