Honestly, not much besides excessive sleepiness, lack of energy, poor concentration, and depression. The severity of these depends upon dosage and length of use.

Yes, I have but it is short lived and nothing compared to missing a dose of Effexor. If I've missed an adderall dose or two, which has happened in the past but hasn't in a long time, I felt tired, unfocused, and out of sorts. Also a bit depressed. But it goes away.

Yes yes...I came off of Effexor about a year ago. I was consumed by raging nightmares and spent a good bit of time in front of the open freezer. Hot flashes at 33!! Not to mention the twitching - fingers, feet, legs. It was awful...
With Adderall... (after many months) all of sudden for many days last week I felt terrible when I took it - no motivated happy feeling. I felt down (very down), edgey, irritable. So I haven't taken it since Thursday (I upped my Wellbutrin XL too 300mgs). Over the weekend I've felt sick. I have been wondering if it was a virus or maybe symptoms of stopping Adderall. It was such a weird "bad" feeling.
Thanks for your note and sorry about your Effexor experience!
