Once narcotic addiction is established, escaping the cycle of detox and relapse is typically a long-term process. Breaking free of prescription drug abuse takes much more than willpower. Fortunately, medications and counseling can improve the chances of success.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with narcotic bowel syndrome.I am taking 220 mg of oxycontin trazadone 50 mg two times a day I have some clonazepam .5 left and some temazepam 15 mg. The trazadone was given to replace the sleeping pill and I have anxiety disorder and Ibs. the pain meds started due to chronic pain throughout my life. I have no other resource available but to stop these meds. I need to go it on my own. It is complicated. I feel very weak already and still on the meds.

Avatar f tn just an fyi to you....I don't know what kind of doctor prescribed you clonidine but the usual dose is 0.1 mg three times a day. Are you sure you weren't given klonopin, which is a benzodiazepine, and can be given at 2mg doses? Some people have actually been prescribed 0.3 mg clonidine but never that I have ever known have they been given 2 mgs. That would drop your blood pressure way too much! Just thought I would ask. You are right, though, clonidine is a bp med.....but klonopin is not.
Avatar f tn I ended up throwing them out and just detoxing off them with clonidine. Took me a week too start feeling better. I am on week 3 and not taking anything. I crave to feel good again and pain free but I don't want to get hooked again. I have cesarean back pain. ***** mostly at work I feel tired still. No more narcotic for me. Withdraw s are awful. What's a safe pain medication non narcotic for hep c liver health?
Avatar f tn Why did your doctor just stop writing your script rather than tapering you? There are also some other prescriptions, non-narcotic, that can help, like Clonidine, which some people say really works well in easing the withdrawals.
Avatar f tn See if your doctor can write you a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin for anxiety and malaise, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose, for sleep. Clonidine is very helpful for the creepy-crawly feeling and control of blood pressure variations. It will make your withdrawals easier. Valerian and Magnesium is sometimes helpful remedies over the counter.
439522 tn?1214951189 m tapering down from Oxycontin (done a week ago) and now hydrocodone (down to 4 per day- 5mg). Dr. has me on .1 clonidine to help with the physical withdrawal symptoms as we move down. But, today he prescribed me tramadol...with lots of refills and for long term use. I had never heard of it, and the point was that I decided it was time to move off opiates and try some other non-narcotic pain relievers.

Avatar f tn I would just rip that scrip up but you would really be better off to fill the clonidine and take as directed.It is non narcotic and will not get you high.It is a blood pressure med and it will only help you.Since you have only been taking around five vics a day this will get better in about 4 days.
1203675 tn?1285875434 Oh yeah, there area few things you can ask the doctor for. Trazodone is an old school antidepressant with sedative properties that's widely prescribed for withdrawal induced insomnia. It's woth a try. Also, hydroxyzine (Atarax,Vistaril) is a sedating antihistamine that's useful for sleep. You can also ask to try clonidine.
441267 tn?1211687001 old post i know but at what point do you start taking the clonidine- i know my dr told me but i don't remember...
Avatar f tn I've been taking a bit of codeine to help with oxy w/d (I've never had problems getting off codeine -- doesn't do anything for me), found some clonidine, and feel like a zombie. I have some valium, which helps a bit with sleep. Anyhoo, it's been a crappy withdrawal, but not as bad as the last one in rehab. Stopping the codeine tomorrow, back to work Tues., but it's still hard to walk a few blocks without sitting down. Mood is ghastly.
Avatar f tn How long do you normally take clonidine for withdrawal symptoms from Oxycontin and Percocet?
Avatar f tn Who else out there has or is using Fentanyl narcotic patches? My withdrawals have been horrible. I was using them for about 18 months @ 50 mg. Changing them every three days. I stopped using them 11 days ago and switched to just Percocet and I then put myself on a three week tapering off plan. I plan to be narcotic free my September 15th!
Avatar n tn He was put under sedation for 2 weeks, they have now taken off the sedation but it appears that he is dependant on clonidine. So they gave him 4 mg an hour again after an episode of great frustration for him and a heart rate of 201 beats a min. But they reduced it to 2mg then 1 then a 1/2 then nothing in the space of 12 hours and a few hours later he was sedated again after a repeat episode. I'm not an expert by any means but this seemed a really quick withdrawal to me?
1700643 tn?1464846682 Anyway I was blessed that my husband has my back and that he had clonidine for blood pressure(also works for lowing adrenaline).I took that3-5times a day,xanax I'm prescribed as well and prescribed sleeping meds(although I still had SOME sleepless nights).I went C/T from them felt really bad for a few days(if u can get clonidine it works wonders).NO OPIATES for16-17days now.I feel great now.I'm also on cymbalta(for depression but they have a non narcotic pain reliever too).
Avatar f tn I hear you with that! Ask your dr about Clonidine. It's a blood pressure med that will stop the hot flashes in their tracks!
Avatar f tn many detox patients take a drug called clonidine to manage your symptoms, you can ask your doc about them\ as far as sleep, did you sleep well before your addiction, so addicts have sleep problems before the pills so they have to take non-narcotic sleep aids as part of their physical recovery process, others find comfort with sleep on their own within a few weeks
Avatar m tn Can you get some Clonidine? it a blood pressure med to help with narcotic w/d. I would go to a dr to see if they could give you something to help with w/d. You can get physically addicted to Ultram.
Avatar f tn a lil bitta help..imodium affects the same receptor sites/was originally formulated as a narcotic but was a bomb,,,but causes constipation like narcs do///1 or 2 stops the runds all day for many...if u took enuf to feel relief from wd ur bowels would be concrete!
Avatar f tn Is there anything over the counter that will get rid of the chills from wd's? I am trying to get off these Oxycodone 15mg pills that I've been on since my surgery and I can't get over the chills. It keeps me going back since it's so strong. I use Gaba for anxiety and it helps a lot and Hylands for RLS but what about the chills? My doc wouldn't prescribe Clonidine so over the counter it must be.
591553 tn?1218902330 Hi everyone, I have been reading this forum on an off. I have some questions i hope someone can help me with. I started using oc's(80mg) around jan.I would sniff 1/2 each day. Around may I switched to herion an a little bag would last a week.In june I started IV use. I was doing a bag a day. i have tapered down to a bag every 3 days.I don't know the quantity it's a $50 bag if that helps.
Avatar f tn I did go see a doctor when I went cold turkey who gave me clonazepam and clonidine to help ease the withdrawal but all they did was make me sleep. The first week of my withdrawal was the worst at least what I remember of it. The second week I ended up in the hospital due to such lack of energy. It turned out the meds the doc had given me were interacting with other meds I was on due to my disorder and were causing my heart to beat extremely low.
