It seems stopping many drugs cold turkey is not advised. I'm wondering what others experienced when stopping 30mg Focalin XR?
What symptoms or long term effects of stopping cold turkey 30 mg of Focalin XR have you experienced?

Hi!
Still taking it so no personal experience but these are the potential withdrawal symptoms. Sleep disturbances, depression, apathy, changes in blood pressure/heart rate, anxiety, and restlessness. Physical symptoms might be teeth grinding, sweating, severe weakness, fatigue, and seizures.
Focalin XR withdrawal symptoms generally last for one to three weeks.
I'm sure you've heard it or read it but do not stop cold turkey. Get a tapering dose schedule and withdrawal timeline from your doctor.
Best regards, Wildcat
