Hi Denise
I don't know exactly what stimulants you are on but I can only say that I have a caffeine addiction. I have tried many time to quit caffeine but have not been able to succeed. I used to have an addiction to alcohol and I can tell you that quitting alcohol was easy in comparison to trying to quit caffeine.
If you take a stimulant that is more powerful than caffeine, I am not surprised that you are having difficulty coming off it. It's relatively easy to reduce the amount you take but the brain just doesn't want to let go of that last little bit and the urge to get the hit that stimulants provide is very powerful indeed.
good luck
