Hi, i havent been following this board lately, but id like to post a few meds i came across which seem to help with my social phobia and motivation.
Befoe i start, i was using illicit drugs, such as GHB and Oxycontin to be more functionable, outgoing, happy, ect. But due to the side effects and a bunch of other things that come along with it, i had enough.
I was informed by 2 of my friends that they kicked oxy/heroin habbit. Its called Suboxone, Cheically its Bupenorphine and nalaxone.
I went to a special doctor who perscribed it, and after i took the first dose, i felt no withdrawls and bit more at ease and not dysphoric.Along with my zoloft and Klonopin, I was also diagnosed by the same doctor for add, so i was perscribed adderal. My current Med regiment is:
Suboxone 8mg (2x daily) Which is a partial opiate
Zoloft 100mg Am
Klonopin 1mg 3x daily
Adderall 10mg (am) and (mid Noon)
Remeron 30mg for sleepThis combo which 3 beers effect who used to post(havent heard from em, works well for my depression, sleep, social anxiety, add, and motivation. It seems like alot, but it does keep me off ghb and oxycontin, which basically almost ruined my life.
My question is that i think sometimes there are too many medication im taking. But if i break each one down, they seem to go along to what i use drugs for.For one. Suboxone. Its a partial opiate agonist and antagonist, so it illimates most all withdrawls within 1 hr of taking it, then you maintain such while it gives you some opiates but also, you cannot take any other opiates or it blockes the effect. Some say it it improves mood.
Second, Zoloft. THis med iv been on for 2 yrs. Alone, it doesnt do much, but it does keep me from getting depressed, but i dont fell elation from it. NOr i dont feel sad or mad ect.
Thirdly, Klonopin. This benzo helps anxiety, and with some social disinibition. But taken alone, it just makes me feel too mellow, and just lay around.
Next, Adderall. Used for ADD, i feel that i can concentrate more, have more motivation, unlike other stimulants, i beleive it selective for dopamine and norepinephrine, Dopamine release from the nucleaus accubus, which is the reward center of the brain. Iv been reading alot about add meds. Some say adderall is superior, some say dexadrine is, or Ritalin.
Last, remeron. It drifts me off to a nice sleep. From taking adderall, even zoloft, can be a bit stimulating, so the remeron i take, i know i will get at least 7 hrs of sleep.
But, at anytime, i could just give up, stop taking my meds and start using oxys again. Former ghb addict for 4 yrs, which is a very powerful mental drug. Oxy is more physical feel nice drug. Basically its legal heroin, i tried both, nasally only and they do feel the same.
please post id like to hear from a few of ya.
