Brief Answer:
Please narrate your symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been taking Bactrim for UTI and Effexor for mental disorder and Adderal for ADHD and now have pain in abdomen
I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) What are symptoms apart from pain in abdomen ?
2) Is the UTI confirmed by doing routine urine test and culture ?

The pain in abdomen that you have could be due to either drug induced gastritis or anxiety and not due to withdrawal symptoms of Adderal..

Please visit your Psychiatrist for review and modify treatment .

Get your urine test and culture done to confirm UTI and take appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
