I've been on 30mg of Adderall XR, once a day, for about two months now. Over the Halloween weekend I was busy enough to not make it home and take my daily dose. I spent two full days off the medication and one of these was a work day. I felt no withdrawl symptoms, I simply reverted back to my normal distractable self, though my ADD symptoms were less severe than before I started the Adderall two months ago. By the end of the second day I did notice a desire to get back to the structured routine that I had built for myself over the last two months. Also recently I went off the Adderall for about three days while I was sick with the flu. I never felt any withdrawl symtoms during this time either. I'm not sure if this is a normal response. I enjoy taking Adderall, it has helped me so much in gaining focus and perspective in my life, but at the same time, if I feel like I don't need it for a day or two I seem to have little issue with skipping a day or two. Try skipping a day or two and see how you feel, maybe it's not as addicting as you think.
