Why do people stop stimulants cold turkey?

Posted by KaraS on September 26, 2005, at 14:12:34

I have read several posts here from people who have stopped stimulants suddenly and experienced severe depressions. If stopping them cold turkey has such a debilitating effect, then why don't most people do a slow taper off of them like they do from antidepressants or benzos?
