General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It looks like your daughter had a panic attack due to increased anxiety & hence the raised heart rate. It is good to know that you will help her come out of the addiction. Well, once she stops taking adderall, she will have problems in functioning normally, bear with her. it can prompt suicidal thoughts so stay affectionate. Some withdrawal symptoms are insomnia, failure to concentrate, nightmares, irritability, headaches, etc. Keep her well nourished, well fed so that her body can absorb most of the withdrawal consequences. Give her quality time, have patience. It takes time for the body to detox, it can take weeks. Keep tapering the dose, visit ER if you are not able to manage.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
