Hi, i post everyonce in a while. I suffer from depression, social phobia/anxiety, add, and Drug addiction (opiate addiction). Basically the only drug that would make me more social, talkative, happy outgoing, less anxioius and depressed ect, are opiates, (oxycontin). Iv tried so so many medication combonations with no luck, and went back to using. Yes, i did the na/aa meeting which i attend, have support. Im am diagnosed with all 4 of the above from 3 different doctors, one a psychiatrist, internal med doc, and family doctor.
So , now im currently taking 5 medication. Ill list them.
Suboxone ( for opiate detox/cravings)
Adderall 20mg 2x daily (add) Motivation
Klonopin 1mg 3x daily for social anxiety, and helps with any anxiety that adderall may cause.
Lexapro 20mg (antidepressant)
Ambien 10mg SleepThe main meds are the first 3. Being a drug addict, i do NOT abuse any of them, and take them as perscribed. Suboxone, doesnt get me high, nor it really doesnt help with cravings, just really helps with withdrawls. Adderall i find does give me motivation, some creativity, and i find myself more focused and up late at night doing work.
Klonopin really doesnt do much except quell any anxiety. Lexapro im not sure if its working.To this date, im still craving drugs, esp opiates. I dont feel totally normal. Maybe i need some titration in my meds. But without them, im sure id be using. This combo i found is the best i have ever been on. Im not depressed, anxious, angry, but im still not social and dont feel like talking to people. JUst basically stay in my room and read, computer work ext. I used to go out everynight and have fun, now i dont.
Can someone please give me some feedback on maybe what icould do.
thank you
geno
