Avatar f tn I would suggest to get off the colonidine now. You may have to lose a few hours sleep until your body adjusts to going to sleep on its own. But clonodine can be addicting too.
Avatar f tn Thus the reason for the foggy head/headache during the acute phase. The clonidine helped immensely and even helps with sleep.
401095 tn?1351391770 anyone use clonidine during WDs? What dose,,,just wondering..
Avatar f tn I'm with bmdad on being a little confused as to the dosing that you have. I too was prescribed the .01's with instructions that I may take "up to three" but only in one daily dose which was at bedtime..Then my doctor specifically warned me that this drug is not to be abused as it does lower one's blood pressure..The implication of taking more than prescribed could be the possibilty of setting yourself up for a stroke due to blood pressure getting too low..
Avatar f tn She was prescribed that to relax and sleep, and help with her moods, doctors think she is bipolar, according to her, it is like Xanax, calms, relaxes. Good luck.
Avatar f tn anyone had experience taking clonidine for sleep issues? i have high blood pressure (and clonidine is a blood pressure med), but my doctor is mainly prescribing it for me as a SLEEP AID to try to keep me off of the benzos for sleep purposes (which have always worked so well for me!)....i'm curious about two things though.....one, how much has anyone taken strictly for sleep purposes? and two, have you had ANY problems stopping it if you want/need to?
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
473384 tn?1210206242 Clonidine helps with the sweats and GI problems with WDs..it slows your body down a bit and helps the anxiety as well...like penelope said...
349859 tn?1257790973 Does clonidine really help with easing some of the yucky wd feelings??
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 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.
Avatar f tn on my 3rd day ct from oxy's i did clonidine....phew....some relief..no sleep but chilled the leg cramps a bit......helped alot....stopped the serious day 4 shakes did it for 2 days and it was great....hang here ,,these ppl are smart.experienced and supportive...oh day 13 no oxy's feelin good....
10047460 tn?1407438406 m done now, but I did have a hard time. But I will say, the clonidine helped me immensely! It gave me the sleep I had been longing for. You just have to take it at the right time...which was 2 hours before bedtime for me. I know that once you get home you wil be back to your regular regimen, but when you decide you've had enough of this evil crap, come back here and we will help you. Talk is usually cheap...but not here my friend!!! Talk...it got me thru the hardest time in my life.
Avatar f tn How long do you normally take clonidine for withdrawal symptoms from Oxycontin and Percocet?
Avatar f tn Now that my arthrits is properly treated,i did not need them,and stopped with Clonidine,by myself..But the Clonidine is not working like it used to be,and I cannot sleep because of the night sweats.summer is coming,and it will be harder with the hot weather.No kidding,but sometimes I fell worst than when tapering opioids.Wish I had taken more time,and stopped very slow without clonidine..i have the 0.1 and 0.2 ones.They are cheap,and i can buy how many I want..but want my life and sleep back..
Avatar n tn I went to the doc hoping he would put me back on subutex as I had no side effects from that the first 3 days-he said you should not be on subutex long term and gave me a clonidine patch that lasts 7 days. I really thought he would change the meds or change the dose. Anyway its probably best that I stay at a low dose anyway so its easier to get off later. If anyone has any info about this combo please let me know.
Avatar f tn Clonidine DOES help! It totally helps you sleep at night. And I am coming off major pills...and it takes the twitches away. For the first three nights, I didn't have the clonidine, and I got NO SLEEP...found myself running aroundmy house, wanting to run cuz my leg was twitching so bad....punching my couch cuz my arm was twitching! Nothing was working!! But the clonidine slows everything down, and relaxes your body. Try it! It will totally help!!! Good Luck!
Avatar f tn He has a hazardous job at a place with a very strict attendance policy. He needs to get some sleep so he can return to work ASAP and he cannot afford to lose his job. Any experiences out there good/bad? Suggestions?
203003 tn?1210855907 help with the RLS and getting good sleep. I wish I would of had the clonidine...a LOT of people use that to help themselves get clean. Seriously, hang in there. Another trick, I used Robitussian Cold and Cough on Day 3 for bad stomach pains. It's with Dextromorphan in it. It's been shown to help with withdrawal...and it honestly did work for me. It eased the cravings and the stomach pain. The RLS and stomach pain were the worst for me.
Avatar n tn ok I have high blood pressure, anemia, and i have these really bad anxiety attacks and i have had these problems since i was six years old and when i was about 14 my doctor perscribed me clonidine and now if i dont take this pill i cant sleep at night i get sick and i throw up until i have this pill my doctor wants me to stop taking it and if i do it just make me so sick and i would never sleep what am i going to do.
Avatar f tn He cannot sleep, the doctor suggested putting him on clonidine to help. Has anyone had any experience with taking clonidine as a sleep aid while on vyvanse? Also, my son is extremely short of breath when doing any physical activity. He takes 50 mg of Vyvanse daily and was wondering if anyone has experienced this side effect with Vyvanse. Thank you.
774059 tn?1235681948 it basically slows down the body..making u less anxious, helps with sleep and tummy issues..u do have to monitor ur bp..if it is too low it can cause it to bottom out....good drug for heavy use and under a doctors care..
Avatar m tn 1mg at 10am, 4 pm since i started and trazodone 100mg at night for sleep... anyone have experience with these? ive heard clonidine if you just stop taking it it can spike your blood pressure... and trazodone is addictive? i dunno.... anyway any comments would help.. i was gonna start today by reducing the trazodone in half and tomorrow cut back to just one clonidine a day for 3 more days... sound alright?
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 m tn Anyone have any sleep aid suggestions? Something OTC. I took my last clonidine last night, and am trying not to think about losing sleep tonight.
672943 tn?1226589081 I'm on Dexedrine. The Clonidine helps me sleep, it seems, so i will keep going with that. I'm on my last day of HydroMorph, yay, i'm doing ok, cept im craving it. no physical manifestations, though.
237152 tn?1206651036 Congrats on the 3 days! You're over the worst (in my opinion). I would take the clonidine if you try for a hour or two and really can't get to sleep without it. Or you could take half. Dont be too hard on yourself, you are doing great!
