Can You Quit Stimulants Cold Turkey?

Quitting cold turkey with stimulants is dependent on the type of stimulant being abused. Though some stimulants you can stop suddenly, others are advised to start tapering off the usage gradually. In most cases, withdrawing from stimulants should be supervised by a medically trained staff in a detox facility.

Detoxing Off Stimulants

Withdrawal Symptoms

When one has been heavily using stimulants, they may be awake for long periods and will ultimately “crash.” They will become depressed and may sleep for hours or even days.
When they wake, the user will experience additional withdrawal symptoms, the most dangerous being severe depression to the point of suicidal thoughts and acts. This is why it’s critical to seek stimulant addiction recovery treatment for addiction instead of the addict trying to quit stimulants on their own. The withdrawal symptoms of stimulants can vary depending on the person’s history with the drugs, physical health, and tolerance.

Two or more of these symptoms usually occur:
Jittery reactions
Anxiety
Chills
Dehydration
Dulled senses
Slowed speech/movements
Irritability
Hallucinations
Paranoia
Fatigue
Depression
Impaired memory
Insomnia or hypersomnia
Body aches
Unpleasant dreams
Drug cravings

Withdrawal Timeline

Days 1 -3: Individuals can begin to experience withdrawal symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, body aches, and a feeling of unhappiness. More severe withdrawal symptoms can occur with heavier users.

Days 4 – 10: Symptoms usually last about 7 days, and towards the end, the symptoms may start to subside, though cravings for the stimulant can increase.

Days 11 – 17: While most symptoms might have subdued, insomnia and depression may continue. Mood swings might also be present.

Days 18+: Any remaining stimulant withdrawal symptoms are considered PAWS and should continue to fade.

Withdrawal Medications

Stimulants are cleared from the individual’s body pretty quickly depending on the usage and dosage. With stimulants, there has not been any medication to be proven to help with the withdrawals, but there are some that help individuals cope with the symptoms. Some of these medications could include:

Anti-depressants: Anti-depressants may be prescribed when mental health disorders arise due to stimulant use.

Anti-anxiety Meds: Anti-anxiety medications may be used for a short time frame to subside anxiety symptoms of withdrawal.

Anti-psychotics: Anti-psychotics and short doses of benzodiazepines may be used to help with agitation and irritability.
