Adderall question??

Another question for you all I have been taking Adderall for the past 3 months I take 20mg twice a day, and my question is I went to the OB doctor yesterday and I told her I was on Adderall and suboxone and the other meds and she look at me and said "why would you doctor have you on adderall and suboxone at the same time? adderall is a stimulant and suboxone is to help you get of drugs? and I really didn't know what to say.
What do you guys think I take it for ocd

that's not a good sign that this doc didn't even know what sub was. The adderal may not be a good idea with the sub but you should find a doc who really knows. all the best

I know I should have said that but I was so ashamed of my self, plus she didn't even know what suboxone was she went to look at her book and then she came and told me as I was checking out.

I don't think it's a good idea to be taking Adderall because of its addictive properties..but, that being said..Sub is for opiate addicts. Not addicts in general. That's why it's not used for Meth, Coke, Adderall, Pot, etc. Different chemicals. I would have asked her why she didn't know that since she's a doctor. It amazes me how ignorant some doctors are. I had a doctor write a note to my employer last week that was riddled with grammatical errors. Doesn't give me much confidence in him.
