clonidine controlled substance

I would pop one every now and then if I felt jittery. It is not a controlled substance and there is NO risk for addicton to this medication (Clonidine). I am suprised it is not more widely discussed or known about.

altho i do think there are pharmacies in canada/overseas where u can get it without one as it is not a controlled substance,,,clonidine is a touchy drug and i think u need to be monitored while on it due to blood pressure and stuff...hypotension/a drop in blood pressure can be fatal...

He was a respected doc in substance abuse and detox and had some new ideas. I had clonidine patches put on me and was given clonidine pills about 3 times a day. I was also given attivan about 4 times a day and 2 davon 65 pl. 4 times a day. At night I was given chloralhydrate to sleep. I slept about 8 hours a day and 8 hours a night for the first 10 days and the gardualy less and less.

I had knee surgery several years ago/started me on percs/then gave me tramadol. I remember asking BOTH the surgeon AND the pharmacist if it was A controlled Substance. Both ASSURED me No it was Not, and I do not really remembering catching any kind of buzz on it. . . . . Was not on it for very long. . .maybe a month???? Any thoughts?????? I need to educate myself if the professionals want to give it to me again in the future. Thanks ALL!!!!!

as a rule there is no need to wean off neurontin...clonidine patches r a bit less controlled than the pills...if ur blood pressure runs low, i would call and be sure u do not have this info backwards some how??? a patch continuously releases...as a rule tablets r given for shoort term use/ so if u feel ur pressure is low//ie dizzy etc...u can skip the next dose or only take 1/2 if it is not time released...what was ur doc and dose per day?

The dr that stepped in for mine said that the controlled substance dept will help me with medications for withdrawls mentally and phisically. I go tomorrow in the am before. work. What about the norco withdrawl?

The answer is not going to change. At 15 mgs, a small amount compared to most, you can jump off safely. We cannot tell you how much Clonidine to take..

Well, if you're on Methadone because you were addicted to opiates then you know what to expect. There is a medication that made getting off Methadone easier for me. It's called Clonidine. It's an anti-hypertension drug. It keeps your adrenaline from getting too high and causing that "I feel like I'm gonna turn inside out" feeling. It's not a controlled substance and it's not addictive. Ask your doctor. Read up on it.

I am a nurse and our pharmacy recently contacted us to implement the changes of tramadol over to a controlled substance. Yes, went the switch was converted over, it went straight to the higher class of scheduled drugs. It will be a bit for the drug books to catch up, but when they republish, tramdol will be listed as a controlled substance.

Neither are habit forming. Trazadone is an AD and clonidine a BP med. The clonidine has to be tapered, so ask your doc. And Congrats on 5 days!

WIkipedia says clonidine is good for reducing sweats and general "unease", but the patient must withdraw carefully from it too, in order to avoid rebound hypertension. Has anyone had experience with this? Did you experience the rebound hypertension after using clonidine? I'm considering asking my doctor for this drug because I'm still experiencing w/d symptoms after 2 weeks w/d. I've not slept for four days, too. Thanks for your help.

Obtaining Controlled substance prescriptions from two different drs is ILLEGAL and can result in not only being blacklisted in drs offices and pharmacies, but criminal charges for doctor shopping to obtain controlled substances. It is also dangerous and can easily result in accidental overdose, respiratory suppression and death.

I am only posting this because tramadol is not actually a narcotic( so they say) they are actually on the verge of making it a controlled substance. I was on a bicycle and was hit by a car and I stressed to them not to give me any narcotics because I was scared of being addicted again after I had defeated that demon. We'll let me tell you they don't get you as high as like a lortab or Percocet or oxy, but boy oh boy the withdrawals are just as bad or worse.

Thanks for your response mustang! I've heard about Clonidine- how do you go about getting it? I can't really go to the dr. and tell them I'm a drug addict- because I have to use the school dr. Admiting to them something like that might make my life very difficult because I'm in a very small gossipy word. I don't want everytime something goes missing from the controlled substance (which happens a LOT and it ain't me!) cabinet every one looks at me!

Tramadol is a pain reliever, as I desperately need something for the pain, but is not an opiod or a controlled substance. Stronger than tylenol or any other otc med, but by prescription. The clonidine helps you sleep at night, and it flushes out your system (makes me pee alot!!!) and lowers your immune to all the opiods. And I got valium for the anxiety of detoxing. (I have always suffered from anxiety) I know it may sound like a lot of pills, but it is helping me SO MUCH.

It's tricky when dealing with a controlled substance. I would doubt they would just "exchange" the medication for a different brand. Actually, I'm pretty cure by law they're not allowed to accept medications back, most especially narcotics. You would probably have to get a new script from your doctor specifying the brand you want. Start by calling your pharmacy and ask what your options are. Let us know the outcome! Good luck.

The dr. took me off of Cymbalta because I was getting no relief. He put me on Lyrica. When I got my Rx filled I had to show my ID. I'm guessing Lyrica is a controlled substance? Does anyone know why or what it contains that makes it a controlled substance??

clonidine is the med doctors give for that symptom during detox...

Just saw a posting where someone said Ativan is not a narcotic, I do know that it is a controlled substance but I thought it was a narcotic also. Can anyone tell me what is correct?

Shes right, Gabapentin is not a controlled substance, but it should be. A newer version came out years ago called lyrica. Same exact class of medication, same mechanism, and it IS a controlled substance. The only reason gabapentin is not is because its super old. No one can or wants to re-establish its status. I would suggest a slow weaning off of it over a month or so. Take your time and decrease the milligrams every 5 days or so.

Hi, I’m currently taking Abilify, Prozac and Clonidine and I got offered a great job, I have to do a drug test, will any of these medications make me fail? It’s a urine test at arc point labs. I’m assuming no but I want to make sure.

Hi, sorry for your wait in answer. Xanax does work, however, has draw backs. It's addictive. So you build tolerance and it takes more to get the effect and in general, people can begin taking more and more. That's why it is a controlled substance. I know that is hard when it has worked in the past for you. What other meds or therapy have you tried? (also, they've made it harder for doctors to prescribe controlled substances).

t know where you live, but in the US, Percocet is a controlled substance, and purchasing it without a prescription can lead to big trouble. See a doctor. This is not a medication that anyone should be purchasing online. Apart from the fact that it is highly addictive, the online sellers who make it available are not likely to be trustworthy, and you could be purchasing expired medication, or medication that has been tampered with, or totally fake medication.
