Avatar n tn my boyfriend is taking aderole back to back throwing up and having major panic attacks. how can i help him?
Avatar m tn She is so far away from the drug world and after all these years of sub and methadone (she met me when I was just starting methadone) it would be like starting over to her. I know all that is not a good reason to not get help. And I think she would ultimately understand... sort of, but I really want to give it this one shot to do it myself. I asked my sub Dr. If she would give me a few Clonidine pills to help with WD. I'll see tomorrow what she says. I dropped from .5mg to around .25 mg.
Avatar m tn As far as I am aware there are no contraindications for methadone and adderal...... but the jittery and non-focused part may well be getting used to the amphetamine dose...could take a couple days to become acclimated......And then again you are basically taking a downer (methadone) with speed (adderal) - - so there could be adjustments to doses made...... I would suggest that you post this question on the Addiction Expert Forum and get an MD's opinion........
Avatar f tn Basically, my son receives a daily methadone dose and also gets a script for klonipin. The catch is, he has adhd, and the klonipin gives my son the feeling that he is on speed. It is complete chaos when he's high on benzodiazepines. I am at a loss. He is a thirty year old man and has four children. He is undergoing treatment for hepatitis c as well. So, the drug interferon is being used on him.
Avatar m tn My pulse is exceptionally weak and my blood pressure is 156/90 after taking one (1) 500mg Naproxen and an amphetamine. I went and got my blood pressure checked, as well as my resting heart rate. The nurse never actually tried to feel my pulse, though. So I came home and I am very worried about how weak my pulse is. Has anybody heard weather or not taking Naproxen with an amphetamine can be harmful because it is not in the drug facts and I cannot find anything about it online either.
Avatar m tn I'm 18, and currently diagnosed with multiple disorders including bipolar depression, ADD, severe anxiety, OCD, FPP. My conditions were just diagnosed this year although I've had them for nearly all my life. As someone with bipolar disorder, like everyone else with my condition I've been through some (others would say a lot of) drug abuse.

Avatar f tn Are you an addict or living with an addict? For someone that isn't an addict, no they wouldn't understand at all. I'm not for methadone at all. I went cold turkey off my meds. BUT a lot of people can't. It's also not just used to get off heroin,it's used to get off any kind of opioids. Normally the best way to use the methadone or suboxone is in a rehab clinic where they switch you to one of these then taper you off before you leave.
Avatar m tn t sure what to make of it because of the rarity of having seizures caused by withdrawal but since my tox screen was negative for everything except my adderall (amphetamine) and trace amounts of opiates their diagnosis was a withdrawal related seizure. The second time this happened i was already on methadone for a little over a year and had an emergency that required me to fly out of state. No chance for special take homes and no chance at getting paperwork through for guest dosing in time.
Avatar m tn I am not a big perponet of taking drugs to get off drugs it is much to ez to get cross addicted and that is its own can of worms I detoxed off 150mg of methadone down to 1mg Doctors orders I wanted to jump at 5mg but me phyic doctor told me it would threw me into a manic episode im bipolar as for what your doing know I dont recamend doing your dose of 1 mg ever other day your low enough to just jump my withdrawal lasted about 10 days for the phyical part but the mental/emotional and '
Avatar n tn how long does it take for amphetamine to clear out you're system and start to feel you're normal self again?
Avatar f tn I put my daughter on a amphetamine after i see the effects and benefits and try other things like behavior management and therapy. It helped a little but when my daughter was getting Ds and Fs in school and could not sit for more then 10 mins and talking out in class and other things that you do not need to know. I had decided that it is time to take other action and put her on meds.
Avatar f tn Although not approved by the FDA for these purposes, Catapres has also been used to relieve alcohol withdrawal, as an aid in methadone and opiate detoxification, as an aid in quitting smoking, to treat diabetic diarrhea, to treat Tourette's Syndrome, to reduce menopausal flushing. Catapress has also been used to treat postherpetic neuralgia, to treat ulcerative colitis, and to diagnose pheochromocytoma. Catapres may also be used for purposes other than those listed.
1264367 tn?1408104163 I have gastroparesis, and GERD, and am on methadone maintenance. I noticed I started having problems as soon as I started the Methadone Clinic, 3 yrs ago. I recently had an endoscopy and waiting on the biopsy results. I'm so sick of not being able to eat anything. I'm living off of oatmeal and can't over eat. But it's not over eating because I've been starving. I can only eat a small bowl of oatmeal before I take my methadone and then another small one for lunch.
1861446 tn?1320445285 I am personally a great fan of amino acids and vitamins. Amphetamine in particular takes a lot out of your body. Good info on the amino acid protocols in the MedHelp archives - or simply put amino acid protocols in the search engine and have some good reading. Keep p[osting for support....

999828 tn?1250122926 in the you tube search box you will see a video I made called getting off methadone 2 and this has some more info on a methadone step down on sub . How long were you on methadone?
Avatar f tn 12 to 14 hours for Vyvanse and 8 to 10 for Concerta. Thats very close to all day coverage and not necessary. Second, they are of two different chemical classes. Concerta is a methylphenidate based medicine, while Vyvanse is an amphetamine based med. Usually you go to an amphetamine based because your methylphenidate is not working for you. The only possible reason I can think of to take both would be to turn off your mind at night so you could go to sleep and stay asleep.
Avatar f tn Ritilin is an amphetamine and will affect ur brain like Crystal meth..same mechanisms of the brain r triggered..this would be a very bad move/taking ritilin for u..dont do it..there r other ways to get nrg like exercise, tyrosine helped me tons...even talking to ur dr about sumpin safe for nrg would be better than ritilin..for those who medically need ritilin it can have the opposite effect..for the majority of the population it is speed..My neighbors son was on ritilin for years..
Avatar f tn my dr toldme if the prozac dont kick in and help my depression he will precrine a anphetamine with it...has any on eheard of this?
Avatar f tn Buprenorphine is the only breakthrough in addiction pharmaceuticals methadone. Researchers where funded to research psilocybin and cluster headaches and ibogaine for heroine dependence/addiction. Endeogens stimulate, rather than block, the transmitter sights in the old brain. Spiritual revelations and cleansed/stimulated receptor sights in the old brain do create life changing experiences and a 'sense' of clarity.
Avatar m tn Good link here on straterra - http://www.crazymeds.us/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Meds/Strattera Basically it is an antidepressant. Has no stimulants in it. Thus I would think that it should pose no problem with urine or hair tests - unless, they are screening for antidepressants.
Avatar n tn I have two sons with ADHD. The 'upper meds' 'boots' is talking about are the ones the are in the amphetamine class...extremely addictive, if abused. Ritilan, Adderal, Focalin, Daytrana are a few more in that class. He/she also added that they are an recovering addict, so I assume that they have abused, or are afraid that they will abuse these meds. Boots: I know of one that isn't an 'upper'. It's called 'Concerta'.
Avatar n tn When nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are activated by amphetamine, the mental focus, the ability to stay awake, and the ability to concentrate is improved, which is helpful for those with hyperactivity disorders or narcolepsy. Although the physiological experience of using amphetamines and cocaine is almost identical, the effects of amphetamines can last several hours whereas the effects of cocaine generally last less than one hour.
Avatar f tn It's not okay to take someone else medications but well, Vyvanse is a stimulant in the category of amphetamines. Not suggested for anxiety but can be helpful for depression. Wellbutrin could be a bit more suitable for you with less side-effects if dopamine and norepinephrine is a problem in your depression/anxiety. Depression often leads to anxiety so yeah maybe when you took Vyvanse you had euphoric effects similar to those with amphetamine ''speed''.
