These are meds for treatment of opiod dependency/withdrawal.
I'm at a roadblock with depression. Im not Willing to Risk side effects from
Drugs like Abilify.
I've tried to find my own mix that will work- sometimes Xanax and Nuvigil but I have a general sense of well being when I take butalbital and caffeine(fioricet) but thats just for my headaches. I don't have an addictive personality for drugs. Sometimes I wait too long before realizing I should just take a Xanax.
Input is appreciated. I hope somJeone has heard of this..
Thanks,

Hi Heather,
Can I ask why you're looking for drugs for opioid withdrawal if you don't have addition issues?
For off-label antidepressants, I've taken stimulants, which helped tremendously. I never liked Ritalin too much, but Adderall and Dexedrine were very helpful. I don't think they are the best idea for a long-term plan, but for the short-term, they are very effective.
