Will A Suboxone Doctor Check My Adderall Prescription

Updated

I very recently went to a clinic and am now taking 2 8mg Suboxone strips a day. I have been on 20mg Adderall a day from my primary dr for about a year now. I told my sub dr that I probably wouldn't continue with the Adderall until I got comfortable with the subs. But I picked up my Adderall prescription today.

What I'm asking is, when the amphetamine shows up in my urine, my Dr will know that I have a legitimate prescription, but will he want my bottle of Adderall to make sure I'm not abusing it?

Hi Brandi! It's best to be honest with your doctor and tell him about any other medications you take. I believe the Adderall will show up in a urine screen. He may or may not ask to see it. I'm on Suboxone and Klonopin and my doctor has me bring in my prescriptions when I see him. Though he only checked them a couple of times. Hope this helped.

Wow! I had a small amount of xanax in my first screen and he made sure to tell me that once I started my Suboxone regimen, Benzo's were an absolute NO NO! Something about how they interact with the buprenorphine.... I guess all Doctors have their own opinion!

Anywho! During that first appointment, he asked if I was on any other meds prescribed to me by my primary Doctor and I was completely honest :)
Adderall 20 1x and Wellbutrin XL 150 2x

He then asked me if the amphetamine was an addiction... I explained that I had been on Ritalin/Adderall on and off again ever since I was SEVEN yr old First Grader lol. He never actually suggested that I stop taking it... I am the one who said that I most likely WOULDN'T continue taking it until I was comfortable with the Suboxone. That was pretty much the extent of the Adderall conversation..... he was mostly concerned with informing me about the Benzo's.

I'm just worried because I have taken a few but stopped so I wouldn't have it in my system for my appointment this coming Tuesday. If it is, and he wants my bottle, I'm already waaayyy short because of the ones I have given to my friends and family members... I just don't want him to refuse to treat me anymore... it took me forever to find the courage to actually go thru with this AND find the cheapest Dr around....
So! You can imagine the knots I have in my stomach right now! I'm just going to drink the HELL out of some water and pray that it's not in my urine when they check it!

Yes! Some doctors are against being on suboxone and taking benzos. It's funny because my suboxone doctor is the one who gives me the klonopin. I've been on them for years due to bad anxiety. I've never abused them. Yet other doctors don't have a problem with people being on the two medications. Good luck to you at your appointment. Drinking a lot of water will be helpful. Let me know how you make out.

Hi Brandi. Yeah no benzos girl. That is a potentially fatal combination. As far as the Adderol your dr probably is going to be okay with you taking that. I've been on suboxone 8/2 for 3years and for the last 6months he has started to treat me for ADHD with Vyvanse 70 mg. It's very similar to Adderol. I don't know how your dr operates. Mine never asks to see anything but I take a drug screen every month. Some Drs do random pill checks, where if your name pops up they will call you in. But I really think as long as you are honest with him and don't give him any reasons to expect you of abusing your meds he shouldn't have a reason to want to see it. Anyway the amphetamine will not stay in your iron long. A couple of days at the most. Benzos sometimes store themselves up in the fat a person may have on them. That's why you can test positive for them months after you e taken them. Amphetamines are in and out:)
And hey!! Take care of yourself sugar. This is your life. Your chance to recover and live life on life's terms. Your family and friends will be ok without YOUR medicine. Not worth it.
Good luck and I hope this helps

No your bottle? What are u a child? He would have nerve.
I am on Adderall and subs and they saw my scripts even for the benzodiazepines. No issues so don't worry

He will definitely want your copy of the Pharmacy purchase. To ensure approval of a legit prescription for the amphetamines. Being that he's not the prescriber of the Adderall, I'm not sure he has the right to make you bring in the prescription bottle, for a number count...if THAT'S what you mean. But, questions that you posed if your asking if you have to take your meds for a correct daily count on them to ensure your not abusing them, really makes it sound like your worried about it because you are. Make sure you take things correctly, your hearts counting on it....

Adderall comes up in your urine as amphetamines. I would bring the paperwork with you and tell the Dr before you even take the test that you're still taking it. Better to be honest than lose your doctor.

Yes, absolutely.
Just be honest and have your doctor who prescribes the Adderall a letter to whom it may concern. Make a personal copy for yourself.

If they don't know now they will/can find out with a drug test. It can also show up as a opiate.

Benzo is much harder to get away with, you should be fine with Adderall.

PS
Have a friend call and ask what rules they have for your situation. ;)
