> If you have been taking a stimulant say 15mgs of Adderall or the equivalent in Ritalin or dexedrine, for ADD or Depression and you suddenly stop, would you likely have a withdrawal or crash? I'm talking about those taking a strictly therapeutic dose range not someone abusing the heck out of it..I've never had the problem, either when I switched off Dexedrine (at 45mg/day) cold-turkey a couple years ago or, recently (at 30mg/day) if miss a dose or 2. I, however, have never gotten much in the way of euphoric effects from it, nor do I get many of the peripheral side-effects, even at high doses, so I may not be a typical case. I can also take it right before bed and sleep fine. I'm a mutant.
From my experience with my friends who used to be monster meth-freaks, even if you are taking speed at abuse-levels, it does not produce TOO much in the way of withdrawl. You may sleep for a day and feel crappy for a week.
