suboxone and ritalin

I'm 24 years old, and I had been taking Vicodin for 2 years for back issues and migraines. In the summer of 2009 I began using opiates heavily. I had several friends who were pharmacists, and pharm. techs. I started shooting up morphine when I could get it, taking norco, taking morphine tablets, etc. in September of 2009 I found a guy who was selling Vicodin 5/500 tablets for $4 a pill. I was spending every dime I had to buy them. On top of that I was getting 60 a month from two Doctors.

Went to rehab 3 times and eventually lost my family, my business and everything I had. I was introduced to a suboxone doctor and it changed my life. I got my family back, I've held the same job for almost 2 years where I'm now a boss. I'm on day 2 of coming off suboxone. My doc gave me ritolin to tapper with my suboxone. Like most people I was able to get down to taking a 1/4 in the morning and 1/4 in the evening.

I currently take 1 1/2 suboxone strips. I take a whole in the morning and the half about 3 in the afternoon. I also take ritalin as prescribed daily. When I get my urine tests back every two weeks the lab results say that my levels are too low. It is coming up negative for nor buprenorphine. They say it could be there but it is under the cut off of 30 mg/ml .

Maybe just kick the ritalin, and keep tapering suboxone and valium, or try to make it through the next 7 days CT from both.

(I am feeling withdrawl, cold, night leg shakes, sweat, uncontrollable yawning, and the dreaded running to the restroom) Does anyone know if RITALIN and/or PROVIGIL will ease my lack of motivation and energy untill the WD passes? It is now Sunday. I have not taken any opiates since Thursday and am feeling WD, yet am alone at my apt, thinking of "scoring" just 2-3 hydros to make it go away.....My first post, sorry so long. Thank you. Please... any advice would be welcome.

I'm a 25 male living abroad, I've been battling Opiate addiction since I was 17, although I did have 3 years clean. Last September I relapsed on Heroin and subsequently started taking Subutex( Suboxone) illegally, I have for the most part been taking Subutex( Suboxone) since then, but have had many periods where I use heroin for maybe 1-3 weeks and then go back to Subutex( Suboxone).

I want to know the side effects of suboxone and ritalin together and by them self's

however i am thinking about getting ritalin prescribed . i have a very good job where i am routinely drug tested via Urine and Hair. will ritalin casue a fasle positive drug test? half the internet sites say no the other half say yes.

It is one of the side effects of Ritalin perhaps you should ask your Doctor for a new evaluation of the Med, if you ever decide to let him be on Natural Remedies, it has been shown in studies that food supplements have the same efficacy as Ritalin and a Muliple Vitamin-mineral with B Complex and Vit C also Fish oil, would be good, a lot of Parents are trying this now and their children and not getting the bad side effects that Ritalin and the other meds have.

I am on wonderful medication that is really helping me. I am on 50mg Ritalin and 75mg Effexor. However any new drug I get given knocks me and when I sometimes take my last dose of Ritalin my eyes start vibrating,all my muscles go tight and my eyes vibrate. This seems so unfair. Does this mean my body will eventually reject all meds. Please tell me this is not so. I am so happy on my medication.

My doc gave me Ritalin for ADD and Effexor for depression but this last one gave me too many side effects and I stopped taking it. Now he switched me to Wellbutrin (150 mg once a day) and 30 mg Ritalin. I have felt sick but am not sure if it is the withdrawal effects from stopping Effexor or the mixture of Wellbutrin and Ritalin. I feel brain spasms, especially in the back of my head. Today I did not take the Ritalin and felt no spasms.

I currently use Ritalin for ADD and it also helps depression. Does anyone have suggestions for supplementing this with another drug. I have heard wellbutrin works well with Ritalin but I would like to here from someone with experience. Ritalin is the only drug that has ever helped me but when it wears off I am depressed again. (and I have tried Concerta and did like it) Any suggestions?

I have noticed when I drink coffee or soda with caffeine it often triggers a gag reflex that is pretty uncomfortable. I first noticed this when I around 7 or 8 and prescribed ritalin which had this side effect. Is this a stomach problem or maybe an anxiety problem.

I am a 30 year old who started taking ritalin and concerta (36mg - 72mg) on a regular basis for about 6 months about a year and a half ago. As a consequence I experienced erectile dysfunction. I stopped taking the meds and I still have erectile dysfunction. I have been off the meds for over a year now and I have not recovered my erectile function. I can only get a semi if I try really hard. I don't get morning boners any more and I don't get proper hard ons when watching porn either.

i do not know if you are still trying to stop with an aide but my frind has tried with adderall and suboxone or whatever it is called and this ruined his ability to get a high while on it which is a good thing and did help him to stop mostly even when he relapsed but he was pissed he didnt get high b ut that was the point to stop and i dont know if that helps.

I have been on 2 10/325 3 times a day since December since I broke my kneecap and found out I have a very rare wrist condition I was supposed to have surgery on on the 22 nd. I also have ADHD and been on Ritalin. I have weened myself down by a half a pill a day. Yesterday was the last one and I feel terrible. My back hurts I have no energy and I can't think straight. How long will this last and how bad will it be to come off the Ritalin?

I did a quick check on the use of Ritalin on depressed patients. This is a quote from their package insert: "Ritalin should be given cautiously to emotionally unstable patients, such as those with a history of drug dependence or alcoholism, because such patients may increase dosage on their own initiative. Chronically abusive use can lead to marked tolerance and psychic dependence with varying degrees of abnormal behavior.

ve been to 2 cardiologists and had 2 echos and multiple EKGs. I was assured that my heart was structurally sound and the PVCs were annoying but not dangerous. I felt okay with this answer and even though they bothered me, they didn't bother me as much after I saw 2 different cardiologists and got the same answer. Recently I have been put on Wellbutrin and Ritalin for my depression by my psychiatrist. I told him about my PVCs and he didn't seem concerned.

I have also heard of using Adderall - do you know anything about that and how it compares to Ritalin? I am feeling a bit better today, so I hope it keeps up. I will check into the herbal stuff - thanks to you and Elaine for that tip! OK, MAYBE I did do a bit too much when I first took the Ritalin.... :) Were you here spying on me or did someone at my house front me out?? LOL! I was so excited to feel better those first couple of days.

ve worked very hard to get where I am, and endured and am still enduring much mental and physical pain. 2mg is a low dose of suboxone and I worked really hard to keep it low with hopes of getting off of it. I realize it is an opiate, but it is a partial agonist and supposedly gives the brain a chance to heal. Im not sure mine can heal however, after being on opiates continuously for so long. I fear ultimately I will end up on suboxone maintenance or worse, methadone maintenance.

Time to take a break here and now and it does not bother me that I ran out? WOW..Remember Ritalin is like speed a stimulant but does help a ADHD person focus but Now I also see I am NOT as hyper off it..

I do have the ups and downs, Ritalin gives me a very minor boost and it only lasts about 2 1/2 hours. I will put a call in and see what he recommends. Thanks guys! You're the best!
