Is depression a withdrawal symptom from adderall?
Author: I usually take adderall on a regular basis (20mg daily), but since I ran out of medication, and also on occasions in recent memory I experience more feelings of anxiety, sluggishness and depression when I go off it a few days. Is my body chemistry readjusting? Is this normal? Are these withdrawal symptoms? Please answer only if you have experienced this or if you are a psychiatrist. Thanks!
You shouldn’t stop adderall abruptly. It’s such a stimulant that going off will cause you to crash. Call your doctor and get a refill. If you feel you want to stop taking it, wean yourself off gradually.
