Off Methadone and Oxycodone for good
SORRY FOR DELAY... I am on my way off taking Methadone and Oxycodone for good, and seriously it has been a long time coming and I am actually thrilled about it all ending! My question is that they want me to start taking Suboxone 8/2 mg twice a day! I already mentioned that I really didn't need/want that high of dose.. But there the Doctor's.. Also I mentioned wanting Zuzolv? Is there any major difference between the two that would affect me different than Suboxone? Also, I have noticed a lot of Psychiatrist's prescribe Adderall after the Taper off of Suboxone? Mostly because of the quick taper, and stop of taking the Suboxone, there is a big lack of normal energy, focus, concentration and still the ADHD type Jitter's. These people now say that it was the best thing for them, they are back to there old selves and definitely most important thing is that they don't want to take anything else ever again! Do you think this can be a good way to End all of the long Opiate Addiction? They are so happy with their lives now, good jobs, able to think right and have happy relationships and lives now!! Also im 33, when I took the ADD, ADHD test in school, it was suggested that I can get help with the ADD, ADHD, but at time it was not a big problem, like how they treat now.. So my parents thought for me to tough it out, more or less....
