I am an RX Technician and can personally testify to the addictive potential of Methylphen. I cannot tell you how upset customers have become when there has been a delay due to insurance coverage or other billing issues related to the prescribing of this drug. It has been made very clear to me that certain customers felt that they could not function or live their lives normally without taking this substance daily. I would equate its addiction potential to opiates.
