I need advice/insight...please

I did the cold-turkey off 120mg of adderall last Thurs. (Friday being my first clean day.)  I have read about severe depression sinking in after about a week of detox...well, I am experiencing it, I think.  I posted earlier (titled "what the heck?!) b/c today I was just fine -- better than fine one minute; so happy to have my life and MIND back, but then later I was severely depressed, stressed out, anxious, and crying.  I think I was crying b/c I was so floored by my mood swing and terrified that I was hitting that depressed part of things.  I KNOW depression, as I have had it for the past year (of a year and a half on adderall.)  I know mood swings, but this was just kind of out of nowhere.  
Is this normal to experience?  If so, how long does it last?  Any advice is sought and welcomed!
Oh, also, I was taking 50mg of zoloft and I upped it to 100mg three days before detox, knowing that depression was possibly going to be a factor.

I posted on your first post.  Maybe you can think about just using that one to keep the thread in one place.  Just a thought....I can tell you're feeling desparate.  Just hang on.                                                   V.
