I haven't experienced any personality changes of this kind from long-term stimulant use.

A hypothesis about what happened to you: while the stimulants were effective, you got stuff done, which allowed you to shift your whole self-image towards "someone who gets stuff done", thus resulting in a personality change as an indirect effect.
