I was prescribed Adderall for over 5 years for ADD. I stopped taking it in November after overdosing and experiencing a panic attack (or was told by the ER i had a panic attack, I believe I just overdosed. Nevertheless it was a terrifying experience and I stopped taking it). Is there anyone else who has taken this medication and suffered from anxiety and weird physical sensations after stopping? I get weird pulsating on the sides of my neck, headaches daily, etc. I also have heart palpitations. I am seeing a cardiologist for those, all tests have come back benign thankfully. Anyway, just looking for some support on this. I also feel quite dizzy at times. It's scary and I don't know if these symptoms are related to going off the drug or having done any damage to my body while on it and abusing it. Ugh..

Thanks for any and all support.

It should be getting better. i only herd of a few ppl detoxing for longer than 45 days or so... Im not a expert just me.They were doing more then one thing. How old are you?

goodluck

Overdose is overdose. If you took more then recomended amount. It just means you could of taken 2 pills instead of one. or 100. lol. Broad term.

Thanks for your reply. I am 28 years old. I was prescribed 25 mg and took about 60 mg on that day, had been abusing it pretty regularly.
