Question by Peter: Why am I not addicted to Adderall?
I have been prescribed 45mg a day of Adderall to treat adult ADHD, and I woke up late 2 days (worked a lot of OT last week (Thursday and Friday only for 13 hours) and weekend (15 hours of work a day) and did not sleep a lot, I had this week off). I had off starting Monday (memorial day) Tuesday, Weds, and today (Thursday): I did not take my Adderall on Monday, because I slept until 12 PM, and I was just going to relax that day. I just felt excessively tired which may be caused from working too much. When I thought about it, I thought I should try to take that week off (from taking my Adderall), because all I knew about Amphetamines before I was prescribed them was that they were extremely addictive and dangerous. It seems that Monday and Tuesday I just felt a bit irritable, nothing too bad and slept a quite a bit more than I usually do (12 hours). By Weds, I was sleeping 7 hours a night, my usual sleep if I’m not working overtime. I did not crave taking my medication, I had absolutely no withdrawal symptoms (I smoke cigarettes, so boy do I know withdrawal). I was just wondering…why did I not get addicted to it? After a month of smoking, I found myself addicted to cigarettes (quite a while ago) yet after a month (and a bit more, about 5-6 weeks now) of taking Adderall daily, I do not feel withdrawal AT ALL from it? The only side effects I get when it wears off (generally goes away 3-4 hours after it wears off) are slight anxiety and muscle tension and I did not experience those at all now.
I did also notice a rebound in symptoms, but I assume that’d be obvious.    Read more...

Question by L Dane A: question about methadone for w/d’s?
I just got my hands on 10mg of methadone after the most ruthless six hours of withdrawals ever, and I’m wondering if this is enough to take the pain away for someone who’s on 180mg of oxycodone plus 75mg of morphine daily. Also, how long does it take to work? I took it like almost an hour and a half ago and.. nothing. I mean, my w/d has decreased noticeably, i suppose, but not the way suboxone could help me if i railed it
