Adderall is a prescription stimulant often used to treat Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), but it's also commonly misused for its energizing and focus-enhancing effects. Whether prescribed or taken recreationally, stopping Adderall after prolonged use can be challenging. For those who are trying to quit or have a drug test, a very common question is, "How long does Adderall stay in your system?".
Understanding Adderall's Duration in the Body
The length of time Adderall stays in your system depends on several factors, including:- Formulation type: Immediate-release (IR) Adderall usually clears the body in about 24 hours, while extended-release (XR) can be in your system even longer.
- Individual metabolism: Factors like body weight, hydration, and liver function can impact how quickly your body processes the drug.
- Dosage and frequency: Higher doses can extend the time Adderall is detectable.
What Withdrawal from Adderall Feels Like
Coming off Adderall can be mentally and emotionally difficult. Common withdrawal symptoms include:- Fatigue and low motivation
- Anxiety, irritability, or depression
- Intense cravings
- Sleep disruptions
