> MaximeI quit my Adderall XR 30mg cold turkey about 4 days ago. The first 2-3 days were pretty bad. Very lethargic and exhausted feeling, as well as reduced motor ability and memory. I feel like I'm pretty much over it now though so it wasn't too bad. Just 3 days of sticking it out. I was also taking tyrosine and Wellbutrin though so that may have helped. Today was my last day of Wellbutrin. I'm stopping all drugs to start Parnate next week. Yippee!!!
