I'm in your same boat - same history and same drug combo. I stopped Adderall several weeks ago because i was getting so irritable. My weight is now up about 5 lbs. Adderall is the first thing I've encountered that took the "drive" away. I'm not sure about the metabolism thing - but I bet there is some merit to it. Now the drive is back and weight creeping. So - back to Adderall. I understand about children and you have to make good decisions for yourself. But I would be careful about school - might make some sense to stick with meds until you're ready to get pregnant and work with your doc to wean properly. Would also be interesting to consider if you must go off all meds. Happiest Mom makes healthiest baby. Definitely something to talk with doc about. Good luck.
