Talk with your doc: Stimulant-based medications have a short half life relative to many other medicines but the amount you have stored in your body, type (sustained release vs typical) and metabolism factors will determine how long you'll notice withdrawal symptoms. Talk with your doctor about a plan to make this important & courageous step more tolerable.

Varies: Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) (combo of 2 kinds amphetamines) works by increasing norepinephrine & dopamine. The 1/2 life is 12 hours, which means that in 60 hours most of it is gone from the serum. W/drawal symptoms include changes in mood, thinking, blood pressure, GI finctions, and eeg. Taking the right dose and gradually tapering off reduces w/drawal symptoms. High doses/shooting may require medical detox.
