Hi,

Adderall has amphetamine which is a stimulant. That is why, Adderall withdrawal is commonly associated with low mood, lethargy and fatigue. It will be best to consult a doctor and go for a detox under medical supervision. If that is not possible, try to gradually taper off the number of tablets you take every day. Take a good diet and force yourself to do some physical exercise.

Best wishes.
