Hi BL's,

I feel absolutely terrible. More so than ever. Please help me. A little background... After many years keeping myself sober, I did opiates and then Suboxone .5 mg for years. Then I wanted to get off and thought short acting opiates was better than .5 sub. I eventually wasted 20K on opiates and hadn't quit even though I thought It would be easy b/c I kicked so many opiates before. 5 days compared to who knows. I usually avoid methadone but ended up going to the clinic. I stayed at my highest at 70 mg's. I am scared b/c I always knew done was worse, but Im here. Im tapering to these douches schedule of 2 mgs every wk in which I'm at 66 MG now. I just drink about half since it makes me feel awful in hopes it would get better that way. Plus, I want to be more in control of my dose and have it not be too late if I want to hold the taper or whatever.


The past 6 mos on done has made me a completely different person! I feel like shit. I'm not myself. I cannot function. I am too tired and feel sick. I have always had 2 jobs when I could afford to live on 1, gone to school, did everything around the house including cooking dinner after both jobs, Ive gained weight, I don't talk to people or see tham when thts all I did on my free time before. I would get redy as if I was going out even on days off around the house. Now, I cant even shower every day. Before, I would be late for work on the off chance I didn't have time to get ready and now I don't even wear make up, get my nails done, care about clothes, etc. I have great job and I'm scared Ill lose it as I haven't functioned like myself ever since starting methadone.

I really need Adderall to function. I have done it in the past and know it would give me motivation, help to stay motivated and preoccupied during my taper, etc. I had my 1st appt. with the psych 2 wks ago and seeing her early on Fri instead of the month out appt. She prescribed Wellbutrin during the 1st visit. How can I get those prescriptions through the clinic psych while being on MMT? Instead of me getting my life together while on methadone it is ruining my life. I started b/c It is cheap, I cant waste more money, I don't want to get caught driving to pick up, etc.

Should I leave and get high for a month then go back to sub?

I cant lose everything due to side effects of methadone and I really need advice as I don't want to appear as a drug seeker and am unsure how to go about getting Adderall without waiting longer. I dont have more months of doing horribly (already been roughly 5 months) to waste going through the phases of different med's to get Adderall.

We can't help you get drugs, sorry.

Adderall gives the impression that you function better. I've seen more than one person take adderall without prescription, then completely waste their time. Only a professional can tell you if it really helps you.

Whatever you do, getting high, I'm sure, has caused you enough turmoil.

Just tell your doctor exactly what you are experiencing. People need to make sure you don't respond well to certain, safer medications before they'll try you on others. It's your choice whether you tell a doctor what you want or not. If they're competent they will give you something that helps.

Ask yourself if you really want to run the risk of another addiction. Many people who illicitly use stimulants never recover.
 
Ho-Chi-Minh covered it. We cannot help with this question. All you can do is be honest with your doctor.
