methadose

Avatar n tn I just recently got a perscription to adderall to help with school. Will the adderall help with my withdrawal symptoms from the methadone?? I want to get off the methadone so bad - i just dont have the will power to go through the withdrawal.. Can anyone help??
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 n tn Dave, I know exactly what you are talking about with the adderall...I used to do the same thing with running out for the next two weeks and its usually one really bad week, the next week isnt quite as bad, the last two days of the second week you start to feel normal again,...Then that day rolls arfound and its time to get your new script and for me anyways, as soon as i get them back i usually stay up the whole night because i have taken too much and my tolerence was down...
Avatar f tn Tapered down five milligrams every single day but towards the end I began substituting the lack of methadone with heroin for about a week. Monday was my last line of heroin and on tuesday I took three v icodins. That night my withdrawals were intense, second the same. My worst symptoms are always the wls. So on day three I was given a very small does of chlotopan.1mg I slept five hours yesterday and eight today. Im feeling much better just extremely sluggish.
Avatar f tn i knew he had taken drugs before and spent time in prison for stealing to support his habit. When we first got together he was on the methadone program and doing it right. We were so happy with each other completely in love things moved pretty quickly to me staying a night every night to us moving in together i had found my future husband. six months into the relationship he would be so wound up hardly ever sleeping for three four days...i knew something was up...

Avatar m tn My wife knows about the sub (and previously the methadone) but not the Amphetamines (not even the Adderall) it would absolutely hurt our marriage and my relationship with my wife to say I need 12 step or therapy. I know that sounds like she is horrible or it can't be true, but it is. 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.
673186 tn?1225983925 I personally tried severalk times my first two years if college and I never had taken more than 30 ngs and that seemed like a very high dose and i gotwith very jittery and a huge efffect. A few months ago I was diagnosed with ADHD and instead of Adderall I tried Strattera knowing my addictive personality and past with drug abuse.
5957912 tn?1379936972 I have experience with Most of those drugs. I was snorting Adderral that I got off the streets with my Methadone and took a benzo at night. I did not think anything about the adderral or benzo withdraw. Oh I knew about the other opiates and Methadone w/ds but not the other ones until I got on here and Read alot..BUT If these meds are prescribed and they are for a reason. I did not have the ADD so the Adderral was like legal crank or coke.
Avatar m tn I have been battling addiction for 3 years now. It started out with tramadol, then I got a script for adderall and was taking both of those together. Then it progressed to taking DHC (DiHydrocodiene) because I built up a tolerance to tramadol.
Avatar f tn Hey well I started useing methadone about a year ago. I never did opiates before but got addicted quick. Ive been trying to get off it cuz my fiance just had a baby. I dont like it and is ruining my life cuz Ime so dependent on them. I have been off of methadone for like 4-5 days now. I didnt want to withdraws cuz I have a really good job and dont want to lose it so I have been taking adderall so I dont withdrawl. I feel like **** because I cant sleep or eat at all.
Avatar n tn Me or my sister does not have a job. I usually take methadone 10mg 3 or 4 a day if I have them or can get them I also take adderall 30mg 3 or 4 a day. Sometimes I will take loratab, percocet, roxycodone, and any other pain pill. I have been hooked on them for about 5 years. To make things worse my sister also takes pillls as well and she takes a LOT more than me. She really only wants the methadone and adderall my mom and dad also take percs, tabs.
Avatar n tn He may need immediate medical attention if the symptoms have not resolved. Overdose of Adderall with is an amphetamine can be toxic or deadly. Please make sure that this is addressed. My best wishes to both of you.
Avatar f tn i take 40mg prozac,1mg twice a day clonozepam,30mg adderall xr and 100mg methadone im tryng to quit smoking cigs.and quit takng methadone but my lifeis very unstable i am blackmailed in a relationship i havnt figured out how to leave yet.we hav a 2yr.old thats y i stay he wont let me take him with me.i hav a record and on probation one more year heis clean. tired and cant stand this life help me by telling me how many of these pills shld i take at one time to go to sleep and stay that way!!
Avatar n tn This is not uncommon, I have this problem as well. The question is can you live with the extra anxiety if the adderall is really helping you? The problem with taking an upper (adderall) and a downer (ativan) together is that they will counter act against each other and neither one will be as effective in your system. You said that you were just diagnosed? Is this your first add medication? You may want to consider trying a different one if the adderall continues to give you problems.
Avatar f tn I have gained over 50 pounds while taking it and I know that it is the subutex causing the weight gain because I took methadone for 5 years before the subutex and I gained a lot of weight on it too and no matter how good I ate or exercised the weight wouldn't budge. When I went off the methadone and was drug free I lost 70 lbs. in 5 months until I started the subutex and now I am fat again.
Avatar m tn I was also taking the Clonazepam with it only at night..It took me many years to find out that on the methadone paper it does say not to mix with this med I was on..My doctor nor the pharmacy said any thing about it..I was up many times at a higher dose then you stated..Methadone is a bad, bad drug..It is very addicting..If you are on a maintenance program that is good to know..I will just say the sooner you get off of both meds the better..Do not go C/T..
Avatar m tn Wake to synthroid, and 2 adderall, 75mg ea and methadone 5 mg. Mid day I take 5mg methadone for pain. In the past years I have developed the following, weight gain, severe dry skin, cold body temp and freezing hands and feet. short of breath, (lung test shows nothing). depression and anti depression meds do nothing but put me to sleep. Joint pain and such. Tappered off methadone and had to start back. I ended up so depressed I thought i was dieing. No energy and no drive.
Avatar n tn ve been reading a whole lot over the weekend and hope to attmept to address my ADD more with diet and less with the drug but I will say adderall has opened my eyes to the possibilities for me.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed to methadone with my youngest daughter. She is now a very healthy, happy, and smart 2 year old. I took about 40mg a day the entire pregnancy and she didn't experience any withdrawal symptoms. However, I miscarried a couple of months before I got pregnant with her due to stopping my methadone. I was seeing an oncologist who prescribes the methadone and he had never had a pregnant patient before and wouldn't give me refill And the ob couldn't get me in soon enough.
Avatar f tn Go to sleep with migraine and wake up with one. Since I tried adderall, I can hardly remember those heavy duty migraines! It works great for my hypertensives. But I just moved to a different state, and doctor doesn't believe that adderall can be helping. How can I be tested for ADHD and get the prescription that works for me? Thanks for help.
Avatar n tn I also experience face flushing and dizziness during this also. Outside of this occurance, I feel very fatigue and weak. I am taking methadone 80mg and Adderall 30mg once a day. Please help me!!!!!!!!! I feel like I am on an episode of Mystery Diagnosis. This used to be a minor inconveneince and now it is ruining my life. I also have had big problems with constipation and bowel movements.
Avatar f tn Adderall should relax people with ADD. It relaxes me. She's basically using (abusing?) speed and dumped her boyfriend for no reason, possibly because her endorphines were flowing like crazy and she thought she didn't need him. She might have a tough time getting off it and crash hard. Plus when she gets offensve about her meds, that's a possible indication of drug abuse. Does her doctor know she also drinks every day? This is not a good recipe.
Avatar n tn i am not a doctor but I can say that I was on Vyvnase 60 mg per day and experimented with opiates including methadone, for chronic pain, chronic bowel issues and for Opiate addiction. I was talking between 10 and 40 mgs of methadone. What you can expect is a severe decrease in the efficacy of your ADD meds Vyvanse. You will feel tired, or easily exhausted, if you are a man you will likely have a decrease in the amount of testosterone in your system.
Avatar n tn I have been diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder. I take Adderall and abuse many other drugs. I could write forever but I just want to quit everything and be a normal guy.
