I tried 2 different medications for my ADHD, none were Adderall but one of them was somewhat similar, sorry I can't remember the names at the moment.
The first one I had to stop taking after just a couple weeks because I wanted to crawl out of work because I was so socially anxious, I didn't want people to see me at all . When I stopped I was almost immediately better.
These meds play a lot with your dopamine and norepinephrine levels which regulate your stress quite a bit.
With those 2 ingredients out you should 'normally' just feel depressed and lethargic in withdrawal but we all react a bit differently to those medications so yeah that makes sense. Depending how long you were taking them it could take you a month before you feel normal.
It will pass, be patient.
Yeah I was taking adderall regularly every day throughout my college semester
