Hello,
RITALIN LA is a amphetamine like stimulant used in ADHD and narcolepsy but the government classifies the psychoactive drug with cocaine and morphine because it is highly addictive and withdrawing it cold turkey can result in withdrawl symptoms like tiredness,flu symptoms,severe depression and sometimes with suicidal tendencies,extreme hunger etc.
You must withdraw it very slowly like reducing your dose by 1/8 or 1/10 every four weeks so that your body adapts to low dosage gradually.
Although it would take few months but you won't find difficulty in withdrawing it.
I hope it helps
Thanks
