Yesterday was my first day taking Adderall since college. I crashed really hard. Can anyone offer any advice on how to deal with the terrible crashes? I used to smoke a lot of weed in college, but not sure if that’s the best route to go now.

I have not experienced the crashing on adderall. I did have that on Ritalin though. I ended up having to take half of the doage until I got a little more used to it. But the crash really did suck. I would suggest talking to your doctor.
