Some people do get a depressed crash when coming down off stimulants even on a daily basis & I've heard of a similar thing lasting maybe a week or so after quitting completely but generally it's nothing at all like coming off effexor or benzos. Serious addiction & withdrawl with stimulants really only applies to someone who is smoking crack or shooting up meth or something like that which is 100 times more intense than a therapeutic dose of ritalin. Therapeutic stimulant doses are more like drinking coffee all day than shooting heroine, it's really quite gentle and harmless for most people.
