Benzo script while on ADHD meds

[EasyMoneySnip3r]

Impossible? 
 

or just really hard

@Ayyy7393 I'd say it's a tad easier to start taking b3nzos and then adding @ddy or rit or something.

@Ayyy7393 I agree with @TommyAC I started on Benzo's & then added Ritz months later but it all depends on what your issues really are & what can be validated by your Dr's & mental health care professionals.

I have been taking rit for 15 year, and my doc just added a benz last year.  I take rit in the day and the benz at night, and it works great for me.

I got a great psychiatrist start me on both same day which was the first day I saw her. So upset that since I have no insurance I missed a payment for a visit and eventually it was sent to collections and I can't get psychiatrist back unless I pay off collections I geuss. Does anyone know if it is difficult to pay that off thru collections? I owe some loans and don't have good credit but if there was a way to call collections just to pay off what I owe the psychiatrist I would and it would be life saving. She had me on 40mg add and 4mg a Klonopin a day my anxiety is my biggest downfall in life I'd say

what was it aside from “I have anxiety and adhd” that convinced them to do it? I’m struggling with it. I was on clons for like 7 years before I went to treatment. Got RXd addys last year and want to start getting clons again. I think what’s blocking me is the fact that I have sublocade in my database history as well as Spravato. So it may not even be possible. I have an old script with 1 left in it (I took the other 59 over the last 2 months), so if I pop on a UA I at least have something that would help protect my job, but I really need a new script

I had it locked in until my psych retired then nobody else would do it. They all said choose one or the other. My best advice check out propublica prescriber checkup and start from there.

I have been prescribed Klonopin two 1mg tablets a day along with (starting first) Adderall 20mg XR, then switched to VyVanse 50 worked my way up to 70mg and currently on two Adderall Instant Releasae 10mg twice a day along with the klonopin 1 mg twice a day too. I have had prescriptions for these medication's for the past 17 years

I’m Rx’ed Vyvanse 70mg and Xanax 1mg tabs (60count) a month currently and have been on that combo for years now… and it took a hot minute to get that combination, but not as hard or as long as I was anticipating?

For the Vyvanse (due to insurance issues, medication costs, and bullshit that doesn’t make sense… I’ve been switched between Vyvanse 70mg / Adderall XR 30mg / Adderall IR 15mg (2x daily) but regardless, a stimulant that I like) and to get that, I had to start by “trialing” some SSRI/SNRI’s, which I refused to take bc I hate them, effexor made me feel crazy—so I tried wellbutrin, which, come to find out via a genesight test, doesn’t even work for me—I got a new PCP at the time (but not my current PCP) and told her simply I can’t focus and was put straight on some ADHD medication. Never had to trial any methylphenidate types of drugs or ritalin/concerta combination or anything (which, is nice, bc I found out in my genesight testing that the medication class of those that include methylphenidate type drugs don’t even work with my genetic makeup and would be nonsensical to even try) and stimulants specifically amphetamines are really my only option, as well as finding out I am a fast metabolizer of stimulants as well.. puts me on a high dosage. —side node — I’m trying to get my primary to get me on a “booster” dose of IR’s to go with my daily vyvanse, and idk if that will happen, but I think if I switched my PCP to some young and dumb patient pusher, I could get them easily (I have a private practice dr bc of medical issues, so shes a big hesitant and more careful about everything I think, but very much never going to take away my scripts ever which is nice)

As for anxiety meds—had to trial all these SSRI/SNRI’s as well, which I said no I hate this shit and just pretended to take them—and then the wellbutrin was part of this… and then hydroxyzine (an anihistamine with anti-anxiety properies) made my mouth dry af and sooo groggy, I used it for awhile but the side effects were so gross to me and also it just didn’t help. Then I got put on @tivan/@lpraz0lam (which according to my gene testing, is not a good drug for me at all) and i was on that for awhile, until I got my private practice PCP who just switched me to xanax off rip without even talking to me about it, and I’ve been on that shit forever now. I used it up quick, but she doesn’t have to know that.

Trying to get more at the moment—and now trialing SSRI/SNRI’s again—not taking that shit, just going to pretend to—and try to get a booster dose of adds and blame my increased anxiety on my ADHD bc i think that will work.

Its been like… an 8 year process from start to current.

Hope the insight helps.

I also was in like.. an outpatient treatment program for a few months and since they went under, I have no paper trail /records from that place—which has saved my ass so much not going to lie about that. Thank God they lost my records and there’s no trace of me being in that program. Things would be a lot different i think if that hadnt been the case.

How did you get a booster IR with your 70mg? Just curious
