Suboxone, Adderall And Klonopin (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I am very pleased to say that I take all three of these great medications. The suboxone is the most important because it keeps me from craving other drugs which I used to abuse. I take 12mg a day. The Adderall XR 30mg is helpful with ADHD and staying alert. It keeps me going all day. And finally, last but definitely not least is the klonopin 1.5mg a day. Nothing else has touched my anxiety or made me feel so comfortable around people. Each med is important, and I would highly recommend this mix for anyone with anxiety, ADHD, and substance abuse disorder. Of course, they’re all controlled substances so you have to control yourself and be responsible, especially with a history of substance abuse. Other than that, just find a good doctor who cares and take them as prescribed. If you can’t do that or you’re still abusing other drugs, just work on it. It took me years to find out I needed these meds.

Do you think if I walked into my doctors office and told him I wanted all three of those meds he would actually write them out????? Really!!!!! He would laugh me right out the door and tell me to have my head scanned for being so stupid to ask him for them!!! Lol. Just sayin!!! Lol.

I have suffered with HIGH anxiety my whole life so I have by weekly therapy sessions with my therapist because I don't want to be controlled by a controlled substance!! I have also had ADHD my whole life and went onto Adderall many years back and did not like the way I feeling on them so I asked my mental health provider for alternative ways to learn how to deal with ADHD without meds... I have those medical issues but they don't control me!! I am in control of them with determination and understanding and hard work!! I live a drug free life!! Before I would suggest anyone to get onto any kind of drug I would suggest them to seek out a therapist and a mental health doctor because I am proof that people can live with conditions without drugs!! I also have a 24 year old son who has been diagnosed with ADHD since he was 3 years of age and not once has he taken anything for it!! I raised him to learn about ADHD and how he can live with it!!

So many times people are so quick to start taking medication for so many diagnosis but what people should do is take time to educate themselves first!! This is why antibiotics aren't working on so many people because they were over prescribed!! And also the opioid epidemic we live in now so many doctors got a pad and pen and just started writing and now pain doctors are being forced to shut their doors because of OVER PRESCRIBING!!! Too many people are suffering with pain now!!!

I just hope this message helps someone who may be dealing with these issues!!! Just sayin!!!

Wow I really thought I was the only one that was on that mix. I am on 8 mg of Subs, 20 mg 3x a day of Adderall and 1 mg 4x a day of Klonopin. It helps at much with cravings, and anxiety which makes me want to use, so the klonopin helps immensely and I've tapered off of it many times with no problems. Most addicts have ADHD and that's why they use so the Adderall helps me focus and it also keeps my cravings for methadone. I've been on this combo for 20 yrs. I'm going to do another klonopin taper (very slowly) and I'm also going to get the Sublocade shot to get off of the Suboxone. Because I don't care what the Drs say Suboxone is a very long withdrawal and I've never been able to go longer then 4 mo. Without giving up and relapsing because I feel like I'll never been better. But I have a lot of hope to get off these meds. I've been on them a long time. They've been good for me but there's a lot of side effects as well. Thank you for sharing. It's very hard to get a Dr to prescribe these however.

I take xanax, adderall, and oxycodone and it’s perfect. I have taken this combo on and off for a long, long time & I am fine.

How do you get to have suboxone prescribed and be on 2 other controlled substances? I have been on Adderall for 24yrs for my narcolepsy and no sub doc will give me a script because of it?

Re: Robert (# 5)

I’ve been taking adderall and benzos off and on since about 2005. I take a half of a 0.25 xanax when I need it and 5-15 mg of adderall a day. I think at one point I took two 20 mg adderall but I suspect I had a weak generic, not that I have a tolerance.

Re: Jrrkdk (# 18)

In the beginning, the Xanax or Klonopin helps with the come down but now it just hurts the Adderall effect so I use it only when I feel my anxiety getting bad. I have found switching between Adderall xr and ir as often as I possible helps. Also, I try to always get Adderall xr brand name. I don't like generics if I can help it. There is a new ir manufacturer, it's not teva. It's a new company making those ir pills and they are pretty decent. Not like the old barr ones years ago but better than the tevas had been. Also, I get better results if I only take my Subutex once a day and try to keep my dose low like 16mg or under so my tolerance doesn't get out of control. I find my Adderall effect is better if I take lower doses of Subutex as well. I get prescribed 24mg of Subutex daily, 25mg 2 times daily of Adderall XR and 3mg a day of Klonopin daily. I usually try to take 12 or 8mg or Subutex and 1.5mg of Klonopin a day but usually end up taking the whole 50mg of my Adderall dose, unfortunately.

I was diagnosed with adhd/add at age 5...I’m 36 now... I don’t take nearly as much as I get, but it helps me more than anything in my life. Would I rather have my back hurt everyday and sit at home with no job? Or take my meds and living a great life. I go to the dr once a month and have never had a problem. I get where you are coming from but we only live once man. It’s better than abusing fentanyl or some other street drug that could kill u because you don’t know what the hell you are taking. Peace.

Me too....I never figured out a way to smooth over the adderall comedown even with Xanax 2mg multiple times a day. But with subutex life is beautiful. I’ve been on this combo for years and years and I love it. It’s just the hassle of pharmacies If I don’t get my meds at my drs office. :) peace!

Re: Verwon (# 1)

Hey, I've been on that exact combo for about 10 years. Actually, I've been on Subutex for 13 years now, Adderall for 7 years off and on as well as Klonopin for 10 years. I was the same as you for many years... I felt great and had no real bad side effects. The past 4 years now the Subutex stopped giving you that little euphoric effect that it gives you and really doesn't get rid of cravings anymore. The Adderall gives me a little energy sometimes but nothing like it did before. The Klonopin doesn't causes memory problems and doesn't work that we'll either. You build up a tolerance to all of them and they will eventually stop working even at higher doses. I have had some bad side effects also long term from this combo. Just be careful.

Re: Robert a maina (# 10)

Hey, in 2011 I was in rehab but on subs cuz I was using oc80 pills ...anyways, you have to taper like this.....

You are at a high dose...... if u have the strips .... you gotta lower 2mg every 3 week ....then 1mg ........when u get comfortable with less ......then go to a lil bit so u have some in your system but it takes 2 weeks...... I had no withdrawal at all.....I took Advil it’s a miracle ....that’s it cuz I had access to nothing and still it’s 2019 I’m still alive and kicking....working doing well..... hope the same for u

I have a question. I am on suboxone 3× a day 8/2mg dose. Does anyone know the best slow taper titrate percentage? What % at 24mg per week drop is comfortable and appropriate? A real taper schedule would be appreciated....Verwon or anyone with experience please.

Re: Cart123 (# 7)

Cart the methadone tolerance is quick, cravings come back, withdrawal was a b****. It helped for about 6 months. Suboxone has been much better with no cravings, opiate free (other opiates), has a ceiling so after 24mg nothing happens, you don't feel high. It's much better as a medicine. God bless. I wish u the best. Make your life a success story.

Re: Cart123 (# 7)

Cart, thank u for the empathy. Na said one addict helping another is good. I'm glad these help u. I pray that they don't start becoming a NEGATIVE and u can't get off one or more. I was given methadone for pain, not maintenance. When I got off it and morphine it was so bad that I started getting hooked on benzos and been trying to get off ever since 3 yrs. The best I've ever been if I'm honest is not taking any mind or mood altering instantly drug. I was using recovery principals.12 steps. Paxil for depression and anxiety and speaking to others in this dilemma no matter what chemical I use accept anti-depression medicine I got into some issue mental physical emotional spiritual always a problem, they all started out helping but finished being problematic. That's why i try to tell young people what could possibly be in their path. Not trying to preach, trying to help others not fall into these life wasting patterns and offer other solutions for the uneasiness some of us have for whatever reason u have. {edited for privacy}

Robert a maina (# 6) --

Hey man. I’m sorry for my reaction to your post. I’ve been in benzo withdrawal a few times myself and I know the agony, anxiety, and severe depression that come with it. I also know what you mean about tolerance building over time. I’m just happy to be given a chance to even take these medications. So I won’t complain when tolerance builds up. I’ll just deal with it. But I do feel your pain and I hope you feel better soon. By the way, what is methadone like as a maintenance med? Does tolerance build pretty fast? Does it hold off withdrawal pretty well?
