Adderall does not affect your body in any way that could directly cause any reaction when you stop taking it. The simple answer is that you will feel how you did before you started Adderall, which might seem different if you are too accustomed to the feeling of taking it. Adderall may be taken whatever days you choose and doesn't require to be taken on a regular basis. Start and stop as you wish as long as you can function without it.

∙ 14y agoYes! It is a bad idea to abruptly stop taking any medication that you have been taking for an extended period of time. It is especially very harsh to do this when taking any type of medication that helps with hormones, endorphines etc. This is why people who are comming off of anti-depressants and sleeping medications do so slowly. Or else they may suffer withdrawl symptoms. It is best to go slowly with your aderol.

This is kindly individual, regular users of Adderall (daily user) should not suddenly stop taking Adderall without first talking with the prescribing doctor.
