why are you asking AMATEURS???????? SOUND FAMILIAR???withdrawals vary ~ some need a PHYSCIAN to monitor the reduction. some withdrawals actually cause strokes if done cold-turkey, and must be reduced first.

If this is a medication that is prescribed? I am assuming it is. If so, she should talk to her doctor about stopping the medication first. If she is taking it for A.D.H.D. she would have return of her A.D.H.D. symptoms if she stopped her medicine, and may or may not have any other symptoms. But she should, once again, talk to her treatment provider about this issue first.
