I think what is the addictive part is that it helps you feel better faster. The other complaints you mentioned I've seen those in action. My wife was just on it and it made her very edgy.
I hope you get better soon and get that WSB you're waiting for. Hopefully I too can get out there soon. I'm recovering from a bicep tendon rupture. It's driving me nuts with how great the weather is.
