When Adderall use has escalated, your brain adjusts to the drug so much that it forgets how to work without it. Quitting suddenly can then set off a negative reaction called withdrawal which you might know all too well if you’ve tried to stop before.
Common Adderall withdrawal symptoms include:
- Your energy hitting rock bottom.
- Suddenly feeling super hungry now that Adderall isn’t keeping your appetite down.
- Sleeping way too much or struggling to sleep at all.
- Intense Adderall cravings that seem to come out of nowhere.
- Waves of sadness, frustration or anger that overwhelm you.
Some Adderall withdrawal symptoms can be more serious, but they are very rare:
- Feeling so low or sad that it leads to thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
- Anxiety so strong it feels like it’s taking over.
- Seeing or hearing things that aren’t there or feeling like the world isn’t quite real.
