I started subs four days ago I am taking a whole 8mg sub twice a day. I also take 45mg of adderall a day for ADD and i need the adderall because I am a college student is it harmful to take them together? The suboxone has done excellent for me, and has kept the oxy out of my mind. I got addicted to tabs when I was playing college baseball in order to play through two broken fingers and bum shoulder. So instead of doing a gut check time dealing with the pain through an ice bucket or taking some time off to heal up because i was just a freshman and i was battling it out for starting spot with a all-conference senior. I became immune to the tabs, so a player introduced me to oxy contin I was taking 80mg a day this continued into the fall season of my sophomore year until I tore the ligaments of my throwing hand I had to have surgery it was career ending injury and rehab was nine months during which I received perocets I began to stack them with oxy and adderall. This addiction almost destroyed my life.It almost cost me everything and put my parents through hell not only physically but also financially cause I used the money they sent me for living expenses instead to support my habit,but they continued to be my rock and never gave up on me. The suboxone made me feel like life did before oxy. I am now a junior and with the help of the Good Lord I am getting my life back. I would like to know if the 45mg of adderall is safe with the suboxone? I am having to buy the suboxone is there clinic i can go to thats not rehab to get prescribed or a doctor? What are my options? I went dry for a week but quickly relapsed,but I want this time I don't care how hard it is. So please any help with my options would be appreciated.
As far a getting off Adderall, it can be done but should be done very slowly. There's a Yahoo Group that helps people do this with little to no disruption to their lives. It's called Withdrawal_and_Recovery.
Adderall addiction is a real and dangerous. This is a vastly overused drug that is rarely truly needed. Millions of people made it through college without it or another psych drugs. We live in a time now where the pharmaceutical industry has convinced everyone that any struggle we have is a mental illness and needs to be treated. The longer you take this drug the more difficult it becomes to get off it.
A study, published in June 2009 in the American Journal of Psychiatry, confirms that stimulants used to treat children for so-called ADHD can cause sudden cardiac arrest and death. As an athlete you are even more vulnerable to this. There is also evidence from studies of stimulant addicts and case reports that stimulant drugs can cause heart disease, including inflammation and scarring. When drugs like Ritalin and Adderall are prescribed in routine pediatric doses, they commonly cause hypertension, which can lead to an enlarged heart. Suboxone also increases blood pressure so your risk is even higher.
It's really important for you to have some medical oversight. Good luck. Remember to check out the Yahoo Group.

There are no warnings listed against using them together, but you really need to consult a medical professional to be certain.
As was posted above, this really needs to be used under a doctor's supervision and only one specially trained in the use of Suboxone to treat addiction is allowed to prescribe it for this in the U.S.
You can check out that link to see if there is one in your area.
