Adderall somewhat helps, but I'm getting used to it too. I'm at 60mg on that.

You're taking addy for pain?

You on xanax as well?

You sound a lot like an old friend of mine (now finally clean) who had cancer as a child. It completely wrecked his body and gave him all sorts of issues, but he had a quack who overprescribed him everything (opiates, adderall, and benzos). He ended up eventually getting completely strung out because he has an extremely abusive personality and high tolerance for everything.

It was a complete downward cycle for him that ended up with him having psychotic breaks brought about by the benzos, his wife leaving him, and him eventually getting put into a facility. He's now, thankfully, clean for the most part with just small maintenance doses.

The problem was that he felt completely legitimate in his usage because it was all prescribed and he does have some underlying health issues. in the end, though, his addiction was the MAIN issue with which he was dealing.

Whenever he'd have to go home to get his pain medication, it wasn't because he was actually in pain. It was because he was starting to go into withdrawals.
