Q: Doctor Cut me off adderal

I've been adhd most of my life, though just 2 years ago I was put on Adderal.
My doctor just cut me off cold turkey because he thought I was taking more then I should, ( I had someone taking some out of my bottle) 6 a month.....I now keep ALL meds in my purse. But my doctor thinks I took them>>>>I DIDN'T so instead of weening me off them he just stop giving them to me.
I'm a mess, Don't want to do anything, SOOOOO cold, and I'm usually HOT...going through the change....I'm just .......lost.
Isn't it bad to just stop any meds? Help...I wanna be able to vocus again.

Your doctor is an fool. Tell him how you feel, you're obviously going through withdrawal. You can't stop something like that cold turkey, you need to ween yourself off.

OMG! Say What!

Just like that! Did not ween you off at all. I agree with the above post. Withdrawl? Sure sounds like it to me.
