Suboxone And Adderall (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

I started Suboxone four days ago. I am taking a whole 8 mg Suboxone twice a day. I also take 45 mg of Adderall a day for ADD and I need the Adderall because I am a college student. Is it harmful to take them together? The Suboxone has done excellent for me, and has kept the Oxycontin out of my mind. I got addicted to tabs when I was playing college baseball in order to play through two broken fingers and bum shoulder. So instead of doing a gut check time dealing with the pain through an ice bucket or taking some time off to heal up, because I was just a freshman and I was battling it out for starting spot with a all-conference senior. I became immune to the tabs, so a player introduced me to Oxycontin. I was taking 80 mg a day. This continued into the fall season of my sophomore year until I tore the ligaments of my throwing hand and had to have surgery. It was a career ending injury and rehab was nine months, during which I received Perocets. I began to stack them with Oxycontin and Adderall. This addiction almost destroyed my life.It almost cost me everything and put my parents through hell, not only physically but also financially cause I used the money they sent me for living expenses to support my habit. They continued to be my rock and never gave up on me. The Suboxone made me feel like life did before Oxy. I am now a junior and with the help of the Good Lord I am getting my life back. I would like to know if the 45 mg of Adderall is safe with the Suboxone? I am having to buy the Suboxone, is there a clinic I can go to that is not rehab to get prescribed or a doctor? What are my options? I went dry for a week but quickly relapsed,but this time I don't care how hard it is. So please any help with my options would be appreciated.

I'm telling you these things help. You also may want to get a testosterone booster because once again oxycontin killed all yours!! Because you don't want to cry and be all depressed. Deal with it.

1. Get a testosterone booster containing only tribulus terrestris as the main ingredient. NO Pro-hormone just booster Vitrix made by Nutrex. Good stuff.

2. A good milk thistle is good as well help flush your liver out.

I could go on and on. They help but they are not gonna relieve all your problems.

Hey everyone, I have been taking suboxone for about 6 months now and I started at around 4 mg and have tried tapering myself down and now I am at 1 mg. This drug is very useful for treating people who were addicted to opiates and cannot stop doing them as I'm sure you all know. Suboxone has been great but I'm ready to get off of it. Does anyone have any good tips? I know I can't just jump off at 1 mg because I'm in nursing school and cannot afford to lay in bed or not study. So from everything I've read people have recommended tapering down and going down .25 every four days. This is what I'm trying to do but I feel like I am stuck at 1mg. Now, I have recently found out that I have ADD and have just been prescribed 10mg of adderall by my doctor. I also take celexa (antidepressant) and xanax. It sucks that I have gotten myself into this predicament but seeing how everyone says adderall is highly addictive I coulf opt to just not take it. But, I feel like the reason I began seaking out drugs in college was so that I could study and complete homework-which is often a sign of ADD. My psychiatrist doesn't know I'm taking the suboxone that I get from a friend but she felt comfortable enough to prescribe it to me while on xanax. Can someone give me some advice as to maybe some good helpful advice about what I should do to kick this sub habit that would be great. Also any other comments or advice about what I'm taking is welcomed. Like I said, I am a nursing student and I don't have time to lay in bed and withdrawal...I've got to be on top of my game everyday. Only three semesters left but this is where things are getting hairy. Please help!

You posted this a long time ago so you may not see this, but hopefully this will help anyone else that is going through this sort of thing.. if you go to suboxonedoctors.com and you can enter your location and it'll show you doctors near you that prescribe suboxone. Hope that helps! Good luck!

Wow. This post is so old but holy crap! How could you be a nursing student and not have any idea that the cocktail you are taking is lethal. In no way shape or form should your doctor prescribe adderall and Xanax! Forget the fact that you are behaving like an addict by keeping it from her . If that combination of medication hasn't killed you yet, I'd be pretty surprised. You need a different doctor too because clearly yours doesn't have your best interests at heart. No doctor with any morality or conscience would prescribe to you like that.

NO METHADONE!!!!! BELIEVE ME. You need to detox use suboxone for no more than 7-10 days. Then get involved in the recovery world. I was on 200mg a day Methadone. HARDEST drug in thee world to detox. It gets in your bones, marrow, and tissues (10mg pills, 40's when I could find them, and liquid). I was sick 7 months (did natural) ( i do not suggest that). I have been in recovery for 7 years now. I have kicked MANY drugs MANY times, I would kick Hereon cold a million times again before I did Methadone even one more time.. Anyone who has fought addiction their whole life will say the same thing.. Please. Please, no methadone. You'll thank me, on some level.. I have fought addiction basically my whole life. TERRIBLE disease. But, Recovery IS possible. A drop of faith can lead to a life time of recovery! Good luck! Signed- A Daily Recovery Addict..

If this helps anyone . I was on you name I took it for about 7 years. Then I found suboxone I was on this for about 5 years up until 3 weeks ago I was on 1-8 mg strip and a 1/4 I was sick of taking it. So I missed my doctors appointment and that was 3 weeks ago. My body is feeling better but I can not think straight I don't if I should wait or if I should go back to taking adderal for add any thoughts.

Look, Adderall is way overrated. I've been taking Suboxone 7 years. I took Ritalin before I I was on Suboxone, hated it. You just think you need the Ritalin. Have you tried the suboxone without the Ritalin? ADD is misdiagnosed.. I was misdiagnosed with it. I was always acting up in school, couldn't listen, couldn't sit still. It wasn't because I had a ADD... It was because all I could think about was how to avoid an ass whooping from my father.. My father was a very cruel man.. I found out later from a brilliant doctor, 99% of all children who are diagnosed do not have ADD.. They just have a very bad home life.. If nothing that I've said has made a difference.. I do want to let you know how to get off Suboxone, another tip from This brilliant doctor. This will be an example. Let's say you take 24 milligrams of Suboxone. Take the 24 mg for the first 2 weeks . Then the next two weeks you take 22, then 20, 18, till you're done. You reduce 2 mg of Suboxone every two weeks...

Your story sounds alot like mine.im sorry to hear your terriable news about your liver but it actually scared the hell out of me.i was on suboxin from a doct for a while but i didnt get the option to get weened off.i can say i was sicker from the withdrawl from sub than any other thing.sounds to me like your doin the right thing by weenin down but im just not so sure u have enough to not still b sick when they r gone.n if u are at all like me..u prob try to find a few more..enough to not b sick..but before it gets out of hand maybe u should go to your doct or a clinic so they can give u exactly what you need..n help u get off them too!

I so believe that Suboxen is harder to get off than the oxy and the hydro. I have been on suboxen for 2 1/2 years and its killing me when I try to get off! No dought it was hard to get off the other drugs but it passed in 2 weeks suboxen has taken 6 weeks or more to get off! Hate this drug!

yes, I am prescribed the two together. It is starting to ruin my life again. Yeah my story sounds a lot like yours as well but when I read the post you wrote I had to read it again and I started to see the patters of the addicted brain thoughts. I can do this better, you are worried about not being able to find it that is a sure sign right there my friend that that is going to cause you problems. I would say HELL no they should not be prescribed together and I have lost a lot of respect for my doctor because of what she did. Yeah I admit it I did it I brought up the issue of thinking I was ADD and all that Jazz and sure I am some what burnt out and that is only to be expected when you have abused drugs and alcohol to the extreme for most of your life. I was on the subs just one 8 a day and was doing great had a few issues with taking ambien but I kicked that. Then I wanted the Adderall I do not know it I hit a point in the suboxone treatment that is causing me some issues or not but please listen to me. Get off the Adderall I am going to do it as well and you know what I said last night I said that this is it and I am not taking anymore at all period and i woke up and it was the first thing that I reached for this morning even before the sub this drug is going to cause ANY addict problems and especially if you have any other underlineing mental illnesses i.e obsessive compulsive disorder or bi-polar if you are bi-polAR THIS DRUG IS GOING TO MAKE YOU WORSE

Hey guys. I'm 24yrs old and I am an opiate addict. My doc is opana. I have been doing pills for about 2yrs.. inconsistently with the exception of the last 6 months..I have gone from a good hard-working mother to doing things like stealing& pawning things to get my meds. Mind you I do have legit medical issues, I just had a hysterectomy a week ago & I have masses on my lower back.. however,I smoke pot to help me eat & sleep, so I cannot go to a pain clinic. I have almost lost everything& am digging my way out of debt I've put on my family. I am ready for a change. I have starting taking 1mg of suboxone when I can get it & it helps but my back still hurts so bad. Would it be safe to take 1mg of suboxone very early in the am & a piece of a pain pill in the afternoon? I don't want to have this addiction but its clear that I have to do something to keep myself going for my kids. Just for the meantime until I can afford proper help I need something for w/d & pain.. thanks for any advice.

Thanks for sharing. I have a loved one in the spotlight at work for a long time. He has off the summer but has to be at the top of his game this year in September thru the future. On 2/2mg of sub and 2/20 mg of adderall he has 4 weeks to get over this it's been years too long. He quit with very quick taper for maybe a week and recently went back to old dose minus the Xanax for sleeping but now it's trazadone c'mon. Love him dearly but we have 4 kids and one income...and it never goes away. Attempted counseling until his way of slow weaning always wins but never seems to disappear. I don't believe therapy is for everyone a bunch of people in the boat he is trying to get out of I sympathize but can't be done alone.I know he needs someone who's been there to help him through because I'm out of patience and really I just don't understand why it's so hard for him, I've been through stuff I've kicked and he's kicked a bunch before this but only to be here. Tried inpatient and wouldn't take him doses and withdrawal weren't severe enough. I should have fought harder to keep him there by explaining the effect it has on him, the wide eyed Martian look the hours it takes to finish things or start them, the hyper focus drive he has over things that don't always matter the pale greyness and constant sweating the disconnection with everything, it's been this way for very long as much as I know today he is probably at his best since I've known him for 13 years but the deceit over the addiction and idk marriage and kids and life are tough enough. Sorry for all this I only have one friend I talk with about this and it is just consuming hiding it always. We've seen a counselor together we've spoke to our doc we fired the psychiatrist until he went back a month ago for an appt that wasn't cancelled which after a terrible 7 days of coming off cold he is now at that same dose again I found out today after always getting the no I'm clean line. .He knows he needs to be done says he wants it. Work is asking me what his treatment plan is and when this all came to light there I couldn't believe how hard it was to find places to help. I'm not sure what steps to take to get him through this so if there's anyway you could help us through, we would completely appreciate it. The docs want u to come down a dose a month and frAnkly he is out of lives and time at work and needs to be done by the end of August. I can't imagine what all this has done to his insides not just subs and adds and Xanax and ons and Benadryl but years of pain pills before. I just want to know him not on anything is it possible? Thx for your time
