Yup I defiantly feel ya Dr. K. Amphetamines for me seem to be the only thing that helps fight off the extreme tiredness/fatigue/weakness that subs are giving me.

That’s interesting that it’s working wonders for your depression though. For me I find that my depression is worse now that it ever was before opiate use and during opiate use. I blame all the nasty side effects for making me feel this way. You do have a point how a lot of our emotions are numbed down though, kind of turning you into a zombie. For me, I was THAT heavy of a user and probably didn’t actually need sub, so this is the first time I’m actually experiencing not having emotions (although I have tried various SSRI’s before). I must say, I miss them. On the plus side, having them numbed probably does prevent us from feeling true sadness/despair/hopeless that usually accompanies depression, but I still feel like I can get pretty damn depressed some days. That seems to be the case more days than not.

I hope low testosterone levels are too blame so I don’t need to feel like this throughout my sub detox. Weird thing is a felt the same amount of tiredness on 24mg as I did on 4mg. I sure hope this is the cure so I dont need to resort to adderall to help fight off the bad symptoms of subs anymore. True, I may actually have add (got diagnosed with it, but who knows if that’s for sure or not? There’s no surefire way to tell), and I really don’t want to be taking something I don’t actually need, especially something that could be jeopardizing my recovery.
