Here is what I found on Adderall wd.  It isn't just a mental wd like Cocaine I was surprised to find out.  

Adderall Addiction Withdrawal

As a stimulant, Adderall amps up various bodily functions; it increases heart rate, raises blood pressure and can even increase breathing rates. As with any stimulant, it’s best to detox while under the supervision of medical professionals. This ensures  that medical personnel can step in quickly and assist should any abnormalities occur with the detox process.

What to Expect During Withdrawal From Adderall?

As the Adderall leaves your body, various symptoms of withdrawal may kick in. Some people may only experience one or two of the symptoms, whereas others may feel all the symptoms strongly. These symptoms include:

Paranoia
Depression
Anger
Insomnia
Lethargy
Appetite changes
Mood swings

How to Manage Withdrawal Symptoms

While there is no medication that is approved to mitigate Adderall withdrawal specifically, some doctors may prescribe medications to counteract some of the side effects of withdrawal. Many doctors prescribe antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications to deal with the sadness, hopelessness and worry that addicts often experience during withdrawal. When you detox in a medical facility, staff members are on hand to deal with your withdrawal symptoms accordingly; if medication is needed, it will be prescribed.

In some instances, medical professionals may recommend a step-down approach to detox. With this approach, you’ll take a decreasingly smaller dosage of Adderall each day, until you are eventually no longer taking the drug at all.

Oh How funnie YesLife4Me you tiger. Ha I am still laughing. Thats what I did because my dr cut me so low I had to add it to make my meds last longer so I did not have to go over to montana or get it from other people.  I do know that it is being used alot in the colleges because they feel it keeps them focused and wired up. My doc said it is a physical w/d because it pulls the nervous system. Like the crank/meth that people shoot up. Good luck td0607. Hang with us and there will be others here.

I don't know anything about adderall so I'm going to do some searching.   As I was typing adderall a funny thought came to mind about the name.  Add-er-all ie; add her all to whatever else you are taking!   LOL!   Hope I didn't offend anyone with that.  It was just my sick sense of humor looking at the word through an addicts eyes.  Not trying to suggest to do this.

I take it to get a buzz. I snort it as well, and I know, opiate withdrawal has physical symptoms, Adderall is mental, but it's so depressing and all. I can't get off of it, if I do, I feel drained and depressed.

WOW a adderall person. I was snorting the adderall with my 12 yr methedone. although I did not start the ad until the last three years. I went c/t from it all plus the benzo. Was not a fun ride. Although I have heard that adderrall is not that bad to come off of because it does not do the same tings that the opiates/methedone does. Have you talk to a DR??Did you need this med or using it to get the Buzz like I did...There are some here on this post that know more about this drug then I do. Keep checking post.. I will check in & out to see whats up OK...Hang tight..
God Bless
