Yes Adderall is a stimulant that is used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. When used regularly for a long duration it causes dependence which causes withdrawal on stopping abruptly. It has to be stopped by tapering slowly,over a few weeks, under the supervision of a psychiatrist. It may increase your hyperactivity or cause concentration difficulties or even restlessness.
Hope this helps Dr A Rao
