I am joining this site to address some of the misinformation w/ regard to the thread
Dear fellow bluelighters,
A little background I'm new . I graduated from a prestigious university w/ a major in political science, pre-law, And a minor in japanese. That said, I'm an addict like many in here. I have PDR's lika any good addict.....but also I was tinking w/ going into nursing.
However, I saw many in here dismissing adderall & ritalin out-right. Some have tried w/ negative effects. Albeit, r all idividuals & have diffiring rxns. I have for 20 yrs. ; drug of choice - heroin. I've been on suboxone for about 3 yrs. Prescribed 8 mg. T.i.d + klonopin 2 mg. T.i.d. for the last 2 yrs. I've taken only 1/2 of 1= 4 mg. A day.
W/ regard to adderall & the like helping to mitigate opioid wd....... I found it to be true and so too some ppl. I know. There r roughly 4 opiate receptor sites: kappa, delta, mu, et.al. Rickket & Bencksiter made the product as a partisl agonist w/ a ceiling affect oppose to being dose-dependent. It targets the mu, allowing other sites to heal or cause new white matter ( synapse & connextions). Not to be confused w/ grey matter. Ampthetamine & the like affects and restores white matter....... even Strattera does that. Moreover, the dopaminergic affect caused by adderall is a benefit for wd from opiates as well as the NE transmitter. That said, its not the CNS effects but rather the PNS (peripheal nervous system) affects that, unchecked or abused, can be detrimental.
May I also recomend a benzo or barb. I used xanax & klonopin. All r legit Rx. Melotonin like someone mentioned, Bentyl, Tigan, sorry I'm in a rush- but u can look the meds u may not be familiarw/.
I have to go ttyas, best wishes & happy new year! [B ].
