Suggest Treatment For OCD And ADHD Disorder

I have been on Adderall 20mg, 5x day, for about a year now. I have been diagnosed as OCD and AADD. A few weeks ago, I lost my new prescription. I have not been able to get a new one and I've been experiencing different symptoms...i.e. long-term headaches, absolutely NO concentration. and just generally feeling badly.
Could those be symptoms of abruptly stopping the Adderall?? My doctor is out of town...

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Most probably, the symptoms you are facing could be of two reasons put together. One is abruptly stopping your medicines and second is your self created obsessive thoughts about the aftereffects of stopping the medicines. In any of these cases, the best coping method is to start the medicines again.
