656243 tn?1231288052 It all makes sense but I think one thing we should be careful of here is when we use the term "doctor". Some people feel more comfortable referring to a psychiatrist as a doctor and a psychiatrist is of course a medical professional but some people don't have good health insurance and a standard physician prescribes their psychiatric medications which is not advisable.
237152 tn?1206651036 I was on 10-15 7.5/325 hydros per day. Day 1 was rough, day 2 not great, today not great either, but tomorrow will start day 4. I'm just concerned about being in charge of 3 young children alone if it makes me really sleepy. My blood pressure was 122/84 at the Dr.'s office, so I am a little hesitant to lower it, but I will take it if it helps and doesn't cause any trouble. I only plan on a few days, tops. If at all. The cravings suck more than anything.

Avatar n tn Hi, The golden rule is unless recommended by a doctor, do not take supplements, get the necessary nutrients directly from food only. Supplementation can very often overdose your body with vitamins and minerals, which can adversely affect. In your case, stop if possible, the supplements for few days and see if the symptoms go away, if so, do not take them, orelse, talk to your doctor about the symptoms.
Avatar f tn Two months ago I experienced an overdose on excedrin, clonidine and benadryl and recovered. At the time, I was informed of a potential heart murmur. Lymph nodes have been tender and large for years but one has become hard in the last month. I occasionally have moments where I loose a couple seconds and get startled. I get random, painless muscle spasms quite regularly. I normally have lower blood pressure floating around 120/55.
585477 tn?1218360618 but, you are not in the best place right now to be caring full-time for your children. You are vulnerable, anxious, scared, confused, hurt. And, obviously...if you are suicidal, you are not in the best frame of mind. YOU are going to change that. The BEST revenge, wanda...is living well. When, down the road you can free yourself from this man...and be happy with YOURSELF because YOU have made things good for yourself and your kids....THAT will be the Karma.
Avatar f tn Small children need supervision, make sure you are around ..it wont happen if adults are in the vicinity......
Avatar f tn My daughter had a sore on the outside of her ear, was looked at for 2 min. in urgent care and prescribed clindamycin e150 mg pills....3 pills 3x per day (12 pills) she is 15 and 119 lbs. Was not diagnosed with ANYTHING. Now we have had a utility, yeast infection, her iron level is at 30, she has passed out over 5 times, cannot sleep has lost weight, major stomach pain etc. urgent care has said it was right meds and right dose. NO WAY!
Avatar m tn i had purchased a 70 mg vyvanse pill, took 1/4 of it yesterday and the other 3/4 this morning, so today i was on about 50 mg. after school i was with my friend and started to experience terrible muscle contractions in my hands, forearms, feet, and calfs; i couldn't move my hands or feet AT ALL and it felt as if i was clenching those muscles as hard as i could and i could NOT stop this. I began to feel nauseous, and started vomiting.
Avatar m tn I took Clonidine for several days during detox. It really did make a difference in helping with my withdrawl symptoms. Helped to keep me calmer and in my skin. I also had a few tranzene that I took ( I cut them in halves ) . These two things along with the Immodium and otc pain meds were a hugh help for me.
Avatar f tn Be careful not to think more is better because you will just drop your blood pressure and end up in the ER or worse. Clonidine is a blood pressure medication but is known to ease WD in very small dosages. Ok if prescribed by your doctor. I like patch better because you will not try to take more to make you feel better, Good luck..
Avatar f tn I missed where you said taking a piece of the Fentanyl. Don't. It won't help and it will just prolong things. You're really in the thick of it now and you should feel somewhat better in the next day or so. What lasted longest for me was the fatigue and my muscles were so heavy and achy. (But i also have fibro so it's sometimes hard to distinguish what's going on.
10047460 tn?1407438406 Wow Jeni I'm not sure. The only time I took Clonidine was for my high blood pressure. I've heard that Clonidine helps with a lot of symptoms of withdrawal including cravings. My doctor gave me Zofran 8 mg for nausea. It worked really well. Sorry I can't be of more help. Hang on for a while.
Avatar f tn My doc sent it in to the pharmacy to help with the WDs I am now having. I am reluctant to dd in any other pills, but I need some relief. Any experience with this drug? Side effects? Does it actually do anything? Thanks.
Avatar f tn Does anyone have info on Clonidine? My daughter is in Medical detox and they are giving her this during her detox. I'm just wondering if it is another addictive drug or if it is just an aid in the detoxification. I would assume they wouln't give her something addictive but you never know.
Avatar f tn Way to go day ten!!! Clonidine does help so much during detoxing. I am glad you got in to your doctor quickly. I am happy to hear your not crying as much. Your on the downside of this now. In a few days this will all be over. Have a beautiful Sunday.........
Avatar f tn I am going hot and cold and getting hot flashes and really nauseous. My methadone doctor told me that clonidine will help these symptoms, I know some of you have tried it. I was wondering if I should start taking it, I am so uncomfortable. I know this is a slow and low taper, is it worth getting it?
