taking clonidine with opiates

There's a natural supplement called Seredyn,it helps with withdrawal from opiates and Xanax.Google it,sounds like pretty good stuff.Thought it might be helpful.God Bless all of you.I know how hard it is.

if you are trying to taper off prescirbed opiates, can you still take clonidine at the same time?

I have been tapering off opiates and I have clonidine and use it to sleep during the taper. I'm pretty sure opiates lower your blood pressure and so does clonidine, so can you take too much if you are combining them?

Good day, clonidine works very well when coming off of opiates. That is what they gave me during my 8 days of detox and after 54 days I use it at night to help me rest. It really works well and I would call it a miracle drug as well. Just only use .1 and no more than that, but it all depends on what your doctor says too.

After a severe wreck breaking my back I was sent to a pain management doctor in 2006. Started out with no education with opiates and other meds. Started out taking them as prescribed and them moving on the other ways for the quicker high I realized I was a full blown addict. The Dr was raising/changing my meds every several months. Anyways fast forward it to May 2010. I am trying to change my life around for many reasons.

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? Please respond. I am scared.

so im now on day 5... ive been taking clonidine .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?

Or will taking the .1 twice a day eventually be easier on me? Stopping opiates became necessary when my intestinal track became so messed up. Never was told that withdrawal would be so disabling -- I'm 69...

Does any1 knw how long you usually have to stay on clonidine after getting off opiates? And am I still considered in detox even tho its bn twelve days?

Hi and welcome to the forum. I read your post and it doesn't sound like a good time to jump as it is Christmas Eve. But if you have no pills, then that's it. So, I agree with Mary above, my Dr. prescribed Clonidine for me, and it really helped with the w/d's. Plus the Thomas recipe and I swear by Epsom salt baths for the rls. I know it's hard to get in touch with any Dr. at this time of year, but try anyway. Yours might be working, and ask him what to do.

t have much success with it. The problem also with Clonidine is if you are in real bad withdrawal and take too much, it can drop your blood pressure really low which is extremely dangerous. I don't know anything about the Thomas Recipe altough I have been reading a lot of posts about it, Good luck with getting off your meds.

I know someone mentioned taking benzos to relieve the w/d symptoms. Anxiety, etc. Is it ok to take CLONIDINE?

My friend is a Heroin addict and has been clean for a few months (I think) anyway he was taking 0.1mg of clonidine and has was taking it 4 times a day. He has just stopped it without slowly lowering the dose.He is going into a rehab next week and can't have the clonidine. Is this a drug that can become addicting? He has been extremely sick the last two days and it's not stopping. What can help him and what is the right thing to do for him while he's here going through this?

Be careful with the xanax, I became addicted to that on top of opiates and it is really dangerous to come off of. If you are only taking one a night though, and can keep it at that good for you, because it will help you sleep and also help the RLS. Congratulations!

No, I am 1 week off the meds, but taking tramadol and clonidine. What is the safest way to get off all this junk?

I have heard clonidine had helped alot of people with wd. Does the dr that prescribed the clonidine know you are taking atenol? If your dr knows and he prescibed then it should probably be ok. I mean, i would love to have some clonidine right now. Going through severe wd's myself. If you can tough it out then good for you. I wish you the best and hope you feel better soon.

Yes, I often recommend clonidine during withdrawals. I also suggest gabapentin, Requip, Seroquel low dose, and Soma if you can get it. Varerian and magnesium are useful as well. It is hard to do it by yourself, so if you run into trouble, read my blogs or look on my clinic website for more info. Good luck to you.

Then this morning I talked to my current Dr to help me make it till this appt, to my surprise he told me just to take my clonidine .1mg which I have been taking for 3 times a day for 2 yrs already. and now I am taking another BP med on top of that which is Labetalol 50Mg a day. sorry for bitching just seems like the clonidine is not doing anything at all My legs, I sweat bad, Hot then Cold and I just F-ing hurtso bad...

When coming off of opiates and using the aid of another medication to cope with the anxiety, w/d's. What is the most/least addictive? Xanax, Valium, or Clonodine. Is one more addcitive then the other and do they all work alike or just as well as each other??? Has any one had experiences with these medications??

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.

there is a site called benzo dot uk dot org lots of benzo info there how do u man it when u say "work"? clonidine helps with sleep and anxiety to a certain degree...it will not erase wds tho...have u talked to ur doctor?

I noticed that Clonidine helps with sleep too. I don't think you're addicted to Clonidine - I just think you need sleep and Clonidine seems to help so you take it. Maybe talk to your Dr. about a better sleep medication (that doesn't affect BP).

This will also drop your blood pressure slightly and along with the diarrhea and atenolol......stay well hydrated with lots of gatorade and other drinks with electrolytes (sodium, potassium etc...sports drinks). The lexapro will be helpful also, however, remember that you will not feel the full effectiveness of it for about 2 weeks.

Hi, most of you know me. I'll be jumping off soon...and want to know/have some hope/reassurance in how well Clonidine helps with opiate withdrawals? I've heard various stories...Looking for personal experience stories please. I'm sure my Doc will give it to me, I've come clean with him and he has been EXTREMELY understanding and helpful. Congrats to all those with one day or ten years of clean time. I'm still waiting for my (final) day 1.
