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.
880900 tn?1467270141 I was taking Clonidine pills (2mgs 2xday)for w/d from smoking. I began taking it in March and it works very well for the sweats and makes you feel pretty good, but I started to wonder as time went on why I couldn't sleep, and I mean At All, and why I was a nervous wreck! My doc said I could use it "as needed" so I was using it erratically. I finally looked up the side effects and everything I listed above were side effects of Clonidine.
9880688 tn?1414115647 I'm sure you are asking why? Well, let me explain what my main addiction is and has been for years --- smoking!!! Now don't yell at me guys. Because of Joe's health I do not smoke in the house, car or around him. In fact I don't even use my vapor nicotine thing around him. I'm down to between 5 and 10 cigs a day (used to be a 2 pack a day habit -- a year ago). I wanted to quit back then but the doctor felt I was under so much stress that it wasn't a great idea yet.
Avatar m tn damn ive come down before and i just had insomnia, do you think smoking weed will help

981443 tn?1250115802 i suffered with RLS from a very young age and tried everything possible to stop it, but i can promise you now the only thing that works is smoking weed. i started smoking weed at 16 and straight away RLS stopped, i am now 45 and recently stopped smoking weed and the RLS came straight back, but from 16 to the first day i gave up weed i never suffered a single night, THIS IS NOT A JOKE, i know how bad RLS is.
585414 tn?1288941302 When I tried to stop the clonidine my pain returned. I tried to just take the clonidine and that didn’t work. Now with the low dose of oxy and clonidine I have relief from the severe pain and can live a more normal life.
Avatar f tn I use to love to drink and smoke? If a friend would call me to ask me to go out I would go. Now I don't ever go. Does a beta blocker in anyway help you to stop drinking or smoking because you think those two things would be hard to do? I found it a piece of cake!
Avatar f tn It works really well if you taper and use the Clonidine. Clonidine is used for short term HTN to get a BP (blood pressure down) so if you note your BP going up due to W/D you could ask for a short term use of Clonidine to bring your BP down, HTN is one of the W/D symptoms. This weekend was the first time I tried the Clonidine and I am really suprised on how well it works, at first it made me fell in a deep fog and very tired but today Iam feeling alot better, more awayk.
Avatar f tn My problem is that I am addicted and I always run out before I have money or another RX to refill and I start to experience horrible withdrawal , mostly just the full body anxiety and hot/cold sweats that makes every minute feel like an hour and I get close to being suicidal becuz I am willing to do anything to make the feeling stop. The Dr did RX me clonidine becuz I am also having high blood pressure, but since I have been taking it (only 2 1/2 days) I am feeling even worse.
Avatar f tn Long story short. My doctor switched my Ativan to Clonidine 0.01 for my PMDD night sweats. Has anyone ever taken it for this reason? Did it work, and is 0.01 a low dose. I am afraid to take it because I don't have high BP. Just curious and nervous about taking it. thanks, Nauty......................
Avatar m tn How long does hyper tension caused by Clonidine generally last? I have been trying to find others experiences with the length the rebound effect lasted.
1243196 tn?1526387849 About 4 months ago I quit smoking and moved into a new house all at once, since then I have been expierencing PVC's. I am 24 and have been the ER twice where the hooked me up to the EKG and it showed everything was fine. They also held me there for about 1 hr on a monitor which also showed everything was fine! After that I went to a cardiogolist who listened to my heart and looked over my ekg's and holter monitor and felt there is nothing to be worried about!
Avatar n tn Pills lead to snorting, and snorting leads to smoking, and smoking to injecting. Doses get higher, and ways to find money that once seemed daring start to become routine.
981443 tn?1250115802 i am on 50 patches i want to stop i have clonidine can i start taking clon.
Avatar m tn I would like to start by saying I was never a heavy opiate user, or even used long enough to believe I was addicted. I had been taking 10-20mg a day for maybe three weeks. Monday night I took four 5mg pills in an eight hour period and smoked weed as well. I began to feel nauseas and threw up, then went to bed. I woke up Tuesday morning with a migraine and violently threw up multiple times. I said to myself that day that I wouldn't do oxy anymore.
1401949 tn?1296043724 You might ask your doctor for Clonidine also. I got awful hot flashes when I quit smoking and this med worked/works wonders and will also help you sleep if that's an issue when you quit. It's just a blood pressure med used off label for opiate w/d, smoking cessation and menopausal hot flashes. I'm still taking it do deal with menopause. See you in a few weeks or so!
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..
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?
Avatar f tn Day 10 got some Clonidine from my doctor, Praise the Lord. Helping some. I may get through this. Not crying as much but still feel overall like crap. How much longer???
