I think that ritalin in high doses can trigger something called c-fos. Something about immediate early genes and addiction. Anyhow ritalin can trigger some of the molecular mechanisms of addiction and tollerance, but like you say there seems to be a threshold dose at which it behaves like street drugs, and when it doesn't.
