addiction/dependence liability - expand?

Latest comment: 4 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

If you check the amphetamine, dextroamphetamine or Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) article you'll see the addiction and dependence liability section has three distinct and equally significant sections:

-Physical dependence

-Psychological dependence

-Addictiveness (addictive liability)

Scale: None, mild, mild-moderate, moderate, moderate-high, high.

I believe this should be the template for all psychoactive substances and would benefit this page especially being such a common drug and WHO essential medicine. 420abc (talk) 13:23, 12 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
