Hello, id just like to ask a few questions and post a few things. Im currently on 4 different medication. Note im am a recovering opiate addict, alcoholic, but basically a downer type person.
I started on zoloft 2 yrs ago which is ok, im not depressed, but im not out there being mr. social and motivated. Then i was perscribed Suboxone, which is an opiate detox med, and a partial opiate it self, and blocks opiates. Basically it keeps one from using opiates. Effects are that it doesnt make me high, but takes away all withdrawls ,and helps cravings.I then am perscribed klonopin for anxiety. WHich works well to calm me down, but by itself, with zoloft, it still doesnt work like i want it to.
My new doctor, recently diagnosed me with ADD, basically i have no motivation, drive to do anything, ect, uless i am high. Opiates made me a social butterfly and feel euphoric,creative and motivated, etc.
I started on adderall, 10mg 2x a day, and the first few days i felt good. After a week, i really dont fell much except some anxiety and some focus. I know that klonopin is blocking some of the anxiety it can cause, and vise versa, adderall picks me up from sedation.
I feel normal on these meds, but i does anyone think im on too much of a combo. I some times, feel dysphoric, not much, sometimes feel anxious unless i take my klonopin. I do feel more motivated, but i guess my brain isnt back where it should be due to a year of pounding it with oxys and h. I was clean for 8 months, only using zoloft and remeron, but still didnt fell like doing much. I guess experimenting is the only way to go.
RIght now, as i type, i dont feel a scense of well being, but it could be due to lack of sleep last night, or some withdawls setting in.
This suboxone really helps alot and is a down step from methadone. If i were to use an opiate, it would block it. But it doesnt get me high. Even adderall, doesnt make me euphoric like some say.
I think im looking for a quick fix and to feel "high" since i wa so used to being messed up all the time.
