Common Questions and Answers about Clonidine and valium
catapres
Can you get some Clonidine (a blood pressure med that helps with opiate WD) from a dr? where are you getting the valium from?
Are you afraid of relapsing?
I have tapered down to 10 mgs of hydro from 120 mg a day. I was on it for about 2 years every day. Can i take both valium and clonidine at the same time to help with my withdrawal symptoms. The last time I went through this my body was so extremely uncomfortable. I had to keep clinching my muscles every time i started to relax and didnt sleep for 4 days. It ultimately let to a failed clod turkey attempt. Thanks so much everybody and i really hope i can get through it this time......
It depends on many things are you taking the sub ?
OK, I'm in my third day of vicodin detox using the Thomas recipie (And Clonidine), and I must say it's working pretty damn well. I have been sleeping "awesome" compared to other failed detox attempts. My main question is how the rest of you have tapered the valium down each day. Although my withdrawal symptoms are mild, I sure feel "doped" out from the valium. I do still have cravings, but I'm scheduled to start counseling on Tuesday.
Ask your doctor for Clonidine. It's an old blood pressure med that helps with withdrawals. (And nerve pain.) I think the way you tapered you'll find it will help a lot. For sleep, Melatonin may help or Alteril. Both are all natural and don't cause any dependence.
Going cold turkey starting tomorrow and have everything listed for the Thomas Recipe, and some Clonidine to throw on top of it all. I've been through this before and the sleep issue is what drives me crazy!! Is the Valium supposed to help with sleep, or should I try to get a sleeping aid to help with this? I don't want to throw to much **** into my body, but I also want to get some sleep. I've tried Flexeril and Benedryl in the past with no luck.
the withdrawals are starting to kick in with jerks and tears without crying and insomnia. i took half of a .1 mg pill and feel nothing yet but mind you, i also am used to taking VAST doses of valium and xanax. my blood pressure is normally very low, but i'm also a benzo addict, so is this stuff gonna work to help me sleep when 5 xanax didn't? will it work at all? i don't wanna take too much and have my bp go down to 40/20.
Hi, I can't answer sorry, I never had a problem with methadone. But 2 is very low compared to 200mg. Good on you for lowering your dose to 2. You may still have withdrawal but how extreme or not all depends on your body. Just get Clonidine and valium and take them together only when you absolutely have to, and don't use the meds any longer than 10-14 days. And only use when you do decide to withdrawal. Go lower if possible with your methadone before stopping.
1mg everynight at bedtime, zoloft 50mg every morning, tenex 1mg 3 times a day, and valium 10mg as needed for anxiety. Now to me this seems like a lot of medications to take considering I have never took any of them before. He determined I needed all this stuff after a 2 hour pshc evaluation and I am tapering suboxone.all of these meds he says are to help me through the taper and minimize withdrawels the easiest way possible.
Everyone is different. I recently detoxes off tramadol and Valium and my pulse was high for nearly a month. My doctor put me on clonidne and it helped calm me down. You should be about through this. Give yourself another week and most of the symptoms should start to subside. Try getting some exercise and drinking plenty of fluids, it will help.
I do have access to meds from my pharmicist and I just want to see if anyone knows any names of some meds that will help me end this vicious cycle or if anyone has any other suggestions. I have valium and clonidine right now and a bag of weed in case I need it because I heard it helps with the withdrawls. Thank you for taking the time to read through this, I really appreciate this.
Klonopin is the brand name for a drug with the generic name clonazepam, and is a benzodiazepine that has actions similar to diazepam (Valium), alprazolam (Xanax), and lorazepam (Ativan). Clonazepam and other benzos are sometimes given to people to help tolerate withdrawal, but they are addictive as well, and so some people would recommend avoiding them.
there really isn't a "best" way..you could get a small amount of valium to help with muscle aches and such..and there is the thomas recipe..you can find it in the health pages to the right..it has a list of vitamins,aminos,and supplements you can take to help your body recover..and then there is old fashined hot baths for rls and muscle aches..etc..what are you comming off of? and how much?
I wish I could tell you the answer to what is safe to induce sleep using Valium, but I have the same question as you! I have Xanax, instead of Valium, and I have no idea what a safe dosage would be for me to induce sleep or that of your husband. I'm a pretty tiny woman, but have a high tolerance to all medications, so it's so hard to know what is safe! I hope you get the answer you are seeking soon, because I know I wondered the same thing!
It has been 78 days since I used Valium and am still struggling with withdrawals. I saw my addiction therapist yesterday and she told my that my last drug test came up showing that I still have Valium in my system. She said that it can take 90 days for it to clear out of your system and that I am still physically not just mentally withdrawing. I was so shocked, but it would explain why it's taking so long. Does this mean that the mental stuff will last even longer?
Welcome to wd. I feel the same way. I had enough energy to wash my hair and shower last night but took a valium to help me sleep and I was out. Your lucky since you have enough to ween. I don't Good luck.
BE VERY CAREFUL. Benzodiazepines are contraindicated for use with Sub....unless like these posters...a doc has said it was okay.
Using them together cam cause serious respiratory depression.
Just be careful, please. My advice would be to find out from the doc what he could safely take.
I was prescribed Valium and Clonidine for my detox off Subs, which helped 100%.
But if you go out looking for Valium and Xanax, chances are if you cant get any, you may go looking for something else.
As you know, Vals and Xanax are highly addictive and if you cant control yourself, you may get hooked on those.
I used my detox meds for 8 days only taking what was prescribed ( actually less ) and anything that is taken for 2 weeks and longer on a daily basis, is the start of another addiction.
