Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.
It would be impossible to say when you should stop taking Adderall. Some people use medication long-term and other people take it for a short period of time or use it only when needed. This depends on the individual.
Medication alone will not control all symptoms of ADHD, behavioral strategies should be used as well to help control any symptoms that are interfering with your daily life.
In addition, some adults with ADHD find it useful to use an ADHD coach to help work on specific areas of their life. A coach will work with you to find strategies you can employ on a daily basis, such as budgeting and self-esteem issues.

I hope this helps.
