Answer: This is a very good question and I'm glad you asked it. Not many people think that you can get addicted to Adderall just because a doctor prescribes it to you. This is because more than 3/4 of Americans believe if a doctor prescribes it to you , it can in no way be harmful[[which is totally untrue]] It is very difficult going through withdrawal from Adderall or any other stimulant for that matter (but especially Adderall since it is one of the more potent stimulants out there today)and here are the reasons why. Adderall is a very addictive drug physically and mentally.It is rough on your body and mind after high doses or long periods of time(or even both). There are tons of withdrawal symptoms, some of the more serious include : extreme fatigue and exhaustion (you wake up feeling exhausted instead of refreshed), severe depression(may lead to suicial thoughts or behaviors),psychosis(seeing and/or hearing things that are not real, or losing touch with reality, having hallucinations), paranoia(becoming highly suspicious or accusing people of things), rapid/irregular heart rhythms,extreme feelings of emptiness or discontent( nothing occupies you, strange feelings of boredom towards usually fun activities), headaches and nausea, insomnia (hard to fall asleep);anxiety and or panic attacks (feeling overwhelmed, worrying, and feeling anxious, chest hurts, and its hard to breath, sweating), irritability and intense anger, and many more. These were literally all I could think of that I experience on a daily basis from withdrawal. hope this helps.****

abilify an antipsychotic is used to help with amphetamine accidiction. Wellbutrin might help with some of the withdraw symptoms as it's used in nictoine addiction. Weaning yourself off slowly by decreasing the amount your taking by 5 mg a week is a tried and tested way of staving off the worst symptoms of withdrawal. Effexor XR is also used in cocaine addiction to stave off some of the withdraw symptoms. Basically weaning yourself off slowly and using an antidepressant is probably the best way to avoid the very bad withdrawal symptoms. Talk to your doctor they'll be the best ones to advise you

If you feel like you need withdrawal help with Adderall, you need to talk to your doctor. Most people will not have these symptoms because Adderall does not stay in your system. It may be other medications that you are feeling.

When withdrawing from Adderall you might notice some temporary changes in your attitude, emotions and overall character. Adderall is a very addictive drug physically and mentally.It is rough on your body and mind after high doses or long periods of time. There are tons of withdrawal symptoms, some of the more serious include : extreme fatigue and exhaustion, severe depression(even suicidal thoughts),hallucinations(both sight and sound), paranoia, insomnia, and panic attacks are just a few of the many symptoms you might be faced with.

I would really suggest a really slow withdrawal such as:

1 week normal dosage(let's say 280mg's)

2 week 245mg's

3 week 210mg's

4 week 175mg's

5 week 140mg's

and continue until off...

DO NOT try and go cold turkey, you may find that this would result in a much higher chance of severe withdrawal symptoms. It's a long and hard road, Good Luck!

It is safe to cut the dose of Adderall in half every day or two - until very low dosage levels are reached and then it may be discontinued completely. Usually, there is tiredness, fatigue for a few days, but not much else. Stimulants aren't particularly problematic to withdraw from (whereas detox from alcohol and benzos can be life-threatening for some, and detox from opiates can be painful, with body aches, sweats and tremors, but not life-threatening).
