| Caboose – you said you were dx with ADD and then given Adderall. Then you described how the Adderall counteracted your fatigue and gave you energy and even kept you up at night, but that the effect subsided unless you took it occasionally instead of everyday. My concern is this: What you are describing is the reaction a person has to Adderall who does NOT have ADD. A person with ADD who takes Adderall will NOT get a boost of energy. It will make them focus and sometimes even make them sleepy. But for non-ADD people it will act just like an amphetamine, which is what it is. I’m no doctor, obviously, but it doesn’t sound like you have ADD to me. It sounds like you’re using an amphetamine to adjust your mood. Please understand I mean you no offense by what I’m saying; this is just my two cents. |
That was exactly what I thought. Normally someone who hasn’t taken that medicine wouldn’t be able to compile their thoughts and sit still long enough to compose a detailed post…but some folks react differently to different meds.
I have to wonder why you never asked for a testosterone test to be done, because it’s pretty common that Suboxone lowers the T levels…I’m having it done tomorrow when I go into my appointment…just to see. I have a hard time getting motivated to do anything, but once I start doing something, I’m fine. I just can’t make myself get up and going…and I’m POSITIVE that it’s my testosterone. This should be a priority if you continue with Suboxone. If not, then you T levels will return to normal after a period of time without Suboxone.
