Hello, and thanks for your question.
There is no reason to taper Adderall. You can simply stop it. There is no known withdrawal syndrome. Anxiety and depression are coincidental and merit additional independent treatment. No, there is no IV formulation of Adderall.

Why do I get depression and anxiety when I try to quit. I take it as prescribed but it is causing irregular heartbeat and rapid pulse
Brief Answer:
Followup
Detailed Answer:
As I said, it is most likely not related directly to the medication, but is primary coincidental anxiety. It is important to seek treatment for anxiety, which consists of weekly psychotherapy and an SSRI medication like Lexapro.
