Addie's/ Ritalin to stop Suboxone WD's

[Codymullis86]

Read that adderall and Ritalin can and can't help with opiate or sub withdrawls. I been on subs for about 3 years and today I'm going to go cold turkey. I've tapered down from anywhere to 1-2 mg depending on the day. Just looking for any insight on this path cause I've got to get off the subs. IMO they are much harder to get off I then when I use to blow 15-20 roxi 30s a day. Any advice appreciated.

Some people report stimulants helping their opiate withdrawals (keep in mind they don't "stop" them), but most people wouldn't want to touch a stimulant with a 10 foot pole when in withdrawal. The tweaky feeling, then the crash, caused by stims combined with being dope sick... is beyond miserable.

We have a bunch of threads about this over in Other Drugs. Use the search engine and check some out.

I've had success with taking low doses of amphetamines to get through things like work, but I would usually do it only to make it through the work day knowing that I would be able to get some kind of opiate after work. It definitely helped ME with keeping my mind off feeling shitty and being productive which isn't easy when going through even minor withdrawals.

If you ask me, it's worth a try.
