Question by Johnny Nobody: I have been taking 16-20mgs of suboxone for almost 2 months, cant afford the script want to use H. How long?
I have been on Suboxone now as prescribed for just under two months but cant afford the script and want to go back to H until I can step off of that. Obviously I don’t want to kick the Subs cold turkey so I have to go back to the H.. How long do I have to wait (with a pretty fast metabolism) before I can feel the affects of the H or another opiate?? I am an IV user and was planning on using about 36 hours from my last dose~

Best answer:

Answer by Detective John Kimble
Not a good idea, bud. Personally, I think u are just looking for an excuse to go back on the H again. Be strong!    Read more...

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...
