Adderall Please help

I started taking adderall (adderrall) 4 days ago for depression. 20 mg 2x a day. I do not like the way it makes me feel. Will I have bad withdrawals if I stop taking this. I have read about people sleeping for days and having no energy. I am scared. I have only been on it for 4 days

   If you google adderall (adderrall), you will find it is mainly used for ADHD.  However, Apart from its most typical application in the treatment of ADHD, Adderall (adderrall) has also been used successfully to manage severe cases of treatment-resistant depression. Individuals who show little or no response to typical antidepressants, including SSRIs and tricyclic antidepressants, are more likely to respond to psychostimulant therapy. These patients, however, are the exception rather than the norm among those with depression and this is not an FDA-approved indication.
   It sounds like this should not be the first medicine you would take for depression.  Basically its speed.  Its out of your system each day which is why you have to take it every day.  
  Essentially, you need to do two things:
First and foremost read about it and what it does so that you are informed when you talk to your doctor.
Second - TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR
