> Thank you for replying so promptly. My headache is getting worse, my doctor's gone for the holiday, and I'm not certain whether to go back on Adderall or just quit both....probably the latter. I don't think either medication requires a gradual reduction in dosage...I believe I have read that it is out of your system within 8 to 16 hours. The headache and the "feeling crappy" just has to go. Thanks again. Hope all is well in your home! Nan
