320944 tn?1245966599 Thanks for caring, I have not had any tram since the day i posted which was 09/13/2010. I got some clonidine .02mg that i take twice a day. The clonidine is actually used for high blood pressure which i do have now from stopping the tram, but there is also some kind of chemical in the clonodine that helps you clear off your opiate receptors, therefore reducing and eliminating your craving for opiate like drugs. Best thing is a months supply only costs $11.00 without insurance.
1926359 tn?1331588139 Am on day two of detox though I am still on a tiny amount of opiate-I was too scared to cold turkey as the last time I did I had seizures. This time however I have clonidine-and I am finding it is making it bearable enough to sleep for short periods of time. I also am taking the L-Tyrosine and vitamins from The Thomas Recipe. I would like to drop the rest of the opiates and just get this over with-if the clonidine continues to work this way. will it? Or is this going to get worst?
Avatar n tn problem is i was taking around six mgs of klonopin everyday for three months and i wanna stop....someone told me clonidine will work for the benzo withdraw? it doesnt seem to be.....anyone got any ideas???
Avatar n tn It helps RLS during WDs I think. I took it once, and it did seem to help it a little. Clonidine, a BP med, helps a lot too. Both have to be given by a doctor, and you have to be careful with both meds. Clonidine can lower the BP too much!

HELP PLEASE, WILL THIS GO AWAY COULD THIS BE A START OF TOURETTES I AM SCARED AND HE IS TIRED OF BEING ON MEDICINE AND WE ARE TRYING SO HARD TO GET THROUGH THIS WITHOUT MAKING A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT ESPECIALLY WITH HIM IN SCHOOL.
439522 tn?1214951189 Well, at 5pm today, I enter Day 4. At least I think that is what it is. Took the last dose of lortab at 5pm on Friday. I think that means I'm completing Day 3 or close to it. Still feel really horrible, even with clonidine and 50mg of tramadol every six hours. Wonder why they aren't helping more? I've heard some people on here talk about how the clonidine or tramadol can spare you from withdrawal symptoms. My doctor prescribed them to me just for that, too.
Avatar n tn I believe they are both similar. They are both benzos. And it wasn't clonidine? If it is clonidine, that would make more sense.
Avatar f tn How long do you normally take clonidine for withdrawal symptoms from Oxycontin and Percocet?
902736 tn?1242615086 Please get some meds from a Dr. ( Clonidine and a few tranzene ) then the otc stuff like Immodium, pain meds otc, benadryl, Try the things from the Thomas Recipe if you can ( in the Health Pages ). My best wishes to you and please post often and ask any questions you may have. Detox is rough but doable. Please read the others posts as there is alot of good info on here. After day 5 you aught to feel better so you're getting close, just hang tight!!
Avatar m tn This is my second post on this forum, my question is i am now going on day 3 CT after a 15 to 20 a day 50mg tramodol habit not feeling to bad except for fatigue an major depression but after reading some of the experiences of others about seizures and so on im scared to death i do not feel that bad right now. Can anyone tell me if the worst is ahead of me because i do not have any other way to do this but cold turkey period any advice would help.
Avatar f tn First day I was in excruciating pain, cold sweats, and felt like I had seizures in the night. Second day minimal pain but so sick like I had flu. Third day took some old tramadol I had and sickness went away and starting feeling better. But I only had 4 days worth. Second week for first few days I felt close to normal without any meds. But then yesterday I woke up in pain and sick again, had night sweat and twitching all night.
Avatar f tn I was told that Kratom would help, does anyone know about this? I do have Clonidine at home, I can take that, too. Please someone reply, I am down and depressed!!
Avatar m tn So he wants me to switch over to a pca pain pump with dilaudid then discontinue the oxy and then switch to eurozone. They will also give me clonidine for panic attacks, phenobarbital for anti seizures, IV fluids and zofran for nausea and I will be hooked up at all times to a heart monitor. Oh yeah and I also have multiple sclerosis. Have any of you got off your meds this way.? I'm supposed to be in the hospital about a week and then ill be on AutoZone if it works for pain.
Avatar f tn The best thing you can do is look up the drugs because they all have very scary side effects. If you read anything that I have posted you will read where I don't believe in drugging People for ADHD. There are other ways to help the Person ,like taken Vitamin B6 and Omega 3-6-9 Vitamins every day. There is no test to prove that any person has ADHD OR ADD. Some people mostly children have more energy than others and that can be a good thing.
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 Thus the reason for the foggy head/headache during the acute phase. The clonidine helped immensely and even helps with sleep.
Avatar m tn It is really amazing my pain is completely almost gone, with the exception of a little soreness. I have starting weaning myself from the oxy and was going to ask my doc for some clonidine. How much does it really help with the w/d symptoms?
Avatar m tn enybody got eny feed back clonidine it was given to me to help with withdraw from oxi and its not doing enygood going through hell right now I have about 7 days
401095 tn?1351391770 anyone use clonidine during WDs? What dose,,,just wondering..
Avatar f tn hi.....i have never used clonidine but it's suppose to be for high BP and also can be used for anxiety from what i've read. I am on a diff med for high BP. Good luck and hope it works for you! i've read that it helps alot of people calm down thru WDs.
198154 tn?1337787265 s but only a caring doctor will give it, most would rather see you suffer....i took .1 mg of clonidine 3 times daily...worked tremendously well...if taking clonidine will help get you off your d.o.c.,...take it as your doctor has prescribed it...regardless of what you think MIGHT happen...it does help more than i can describe, i think it is a miracle drug for wd's. i took it for 10 days, then tapered for 3, it is not addictive, but you have to taper to avoid rebound high BP...
Avatar f tn second, my doctor prescribed two clonidine patches for me for any withdrawl symptoms. What do these do ? my doc said it woud basically knock me out...love that of course... but, i am hesitant because i had never heard of it... i know it is a little strange for a prescription lover to be afraid of a new drug...weird. but, i would like to hear about some experiences with people who have tried it before. Thank you so much.
Avatar m tn It really works. It will not make you 100% the same as if you were taking the percs but it helps with anxiety, sleeplessness and overall feeling like crap. My doctor gave me 1.0 milligrams with a refill. She is awesome. Yesterday was my full day 2 from all addictive substances (day 9 from Vicodin) and I had some anxiety late afternoon and evening. Took a pill each time and I was fine. Slept a full 8 hours.
Avatar f tn My methadone doctor suggested clonidine for these symptoms, I know some of you have tried it and I was wondering if it helps much, and is it worth even taking? Thanks for your responses...
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?
