Larry Niven writes about a similar idea in Ringworld[1] called a "tasp". In the book, users are referred to as "wireheads", and it's said to be extremely addictive.

This isn't really what the Ringworld books are about, but it comes up a few times, and I think it's a pretty interesting plot device.

spoilers in this paragraph One of the gadgets in the series is a "wireless" form of this technology that works without an implant in the victim. It comes up several plot points as a form of either overt coercion (since the victim would almost instantly become dependent on the device), or more subtly by applying it to a victim without their knowledge to make them associate the sensation with being in the presence of the wielder.
