What is the best way to taper off dexedrine IR in order to minimize depression and anxiety during withdrawal? I was prescribed 30 mg two times per day 6 months ago for severe sleepiness probably caused by hard-to-treat depression (after abusing oxycodone and switching to suboxone). I got down to 25 mg 2xday for the last 3 weeks but I am feeling that it is wearing off . But when I tried 20 mg it doesn't work at all. I cannot take another episode of severe depression because I am sick and tired of it and don't wanna hurt myself. Has anyone managed to successfully get off this drug?
BTW the reason I want off is, I need to see how my new antidepressant (Trintellix) works....and to try another anti-depressants if needed.
*A bit of history. I have had moderate depression for over 20 years that was controlled decently by celexa. Since 2014 I have been on oxycodone high doses then in 2017 I switched to suboxone and felt terrible for a year. Then I got prescription for oxy again and was one year on it but could never reach any high (euphoria) at any dose. Suboxone has blocked my feel-good cells. Then in January this year I started suboxone again but in much lower doses because oxycodone caused bad akathesia and this time mentally I felt better than before when I quit oxy the first time. (maybe sub is worsening my depression who knows)*
PS. If anyone has a link to a successful suboxone withdrawal as well please let me know
Thanks
