What To Do For Addiction And Anxiety?
I am an addict I am on saboxin and some anxiety medicine. I can function but I think I need to get off saboxin and work on some of my problems. I have been going to a dr in Houston but he told me I have all the signs of adha and wants to see about medicine for that but he also says my addiction is hopeless I need someone to help

Thanks for using healthcare magic
If you want to get off suboxone, do it gradually.Try to decrease the dose 0.4 mg per day or more slowly, rest depend upon the dependence or dose of suboxone. That would help to control withdrawal. For anxiety symptoms, you can take low dose benzodiazepine. In your ADHD, i can not say much. It may be misdiagnosed due to your addiction.
