Common Questions and Answers about Catapres tts patches

catapres

Avatar m tn I'm on a strict diet and on the catapres tts system patch . It lowers my blood pressure but makes me feel like a zombie along with a host of other bad symptoms. My following symptoms are: internal core shaking, lower back tingling and really warm(at random times) constant need to poop and usually when I do it's a loose stool. And then I have random flushing and sometimes out of breath when talking to my customers.

380558 tn?1309042387 Hi- We don't give dosing information on this forum. What does the prescription say? Do you know what Catapres is? I don't think it's wise to have on two patches at once! Be careful!! What symptoms are you having specifically? We may be able to offer some suggestions for relief.
232264 tn?1191248480 My frined told me of this miracle cure for the withdrawls.... catapres patch TTS 1, and since I put that patch on, no restless leg, no sweats, no vomiting. I know you are talking about Xanax, and Valium, but this patch works for real. So far 4 of us have done it. It does not change the fact that insomnia hits, and you need immodium for the stomach, but I have Kaiser and my Dr. has been real helpful.
981443 tn?1250115802 But if you want to be really safe get a Catapres TTS-2 patch it gives you exactly .2 mg of chondline over a 24 hr period for a whole week. Works like a charm. You can start out with the patch then after day 4 most of the bad wds will be peeking down you can cut the patch in half which gives you .1 mg now. You can then1/4 it and in a week your off the chondline. But buy some of that tape in drug that is like band-aid tape water proof. You need it to keep the patches on nice and tight.
Avatar m tn Ask you doctor for a chondline patch called catapres TTS-2 which will ugive you .2mg over 24 hrs and good for a week. It really really helps. You can cut this patch in half to bring it down to .1mg if needed. It really takes care of restless leg, that creepy feeling you can get . No matter what anyone tells you this is one of the very best detox meds to take. It will lower your BP so good to check with the doctor first.
Avatar f tn Ok, I understand I have TTS and just have to live and deal with it, I have it over 15yrs now and I'm 38. But, My biggest problem is, is it normal for my legs to hurt so much? They hurt from my thigh to my ankles and I do not have the typical TTS symptoms. Is it possible there could be something else going on? The best way to describe what my legs feel like is that their being strangled where the thigh and hip would meet. Most people complain of burning in their feet and toes hurting.
Avatar m tn In another post someone asked when symptoms of TTS would be relieved after starting thyroid meds. I am taking Levothyroid and started 1 month ago. I have suffered from TTS in my left foot for 8 years and now have the beginings of it in my right foot. I have had all the steriod shots and now have my L foot in a cast for 3 weeks without relief. I am tired of the pain and now with the R foot beginng to burn I am going to ask the podiotrist to do surgery. My questions are; Can hypothroid cause TTS?
Avatar m tn I think it was a Catapres-TTS patch and Motrin beleave it or not . The patch is used for high blood pressure . They also gave me stuff to help me sleep but did not work . I just woke up after 3 hours of sleep and before that I was awake for right around 40 hours with one half an hour nap . And my first post I should have said at detox I did have trouble sleeping but I do if I'm not in my bed . The shakey ness came on after I left the detox unit .
317019 tn?1532965586 the u/s tech took measurements of the fluid around the babies and it looks like twin a is getting more fluid than twin b....so it looks like i might have the start of twin to twin syndrome (TTS)....i am horrified right now because i dont know what to make of this.....my doc says early detection is good and that there is a doc in NC that is great with the laser surgey that they use to try and fix it....
Avatar f tn What would make you think that you have toxic shock syndrome? :) Symptoms of TSS include: high fever, accompanied by low blood pressure, general feeling of illness/severe flu symptoms, confusion, which can rapidly progress to stupor, coma, and multi-organ failure. The characteristic rash, often seen early in the course of illness, resembles a sunburn, and can involve any region of the body, including the lips, mouth, eyes, palms and soles.
Avatar m tn When I stopped using opiates I was prescribed catapres for my blood pressure and anxiety. I have been on it for about a year and recently started abusing it taking 5 or 6 times my normal dose (.2mg) a about three times a day for the last 6 weeks. I was abusing it b/c at the high doses it gave me a "high". I've ran out of pills of course and my question is is catapres addictive, will I go through withdraw not having this medication.
Avatar n tn can you take methadone and catapres together? and if you do take both catapres and methadone ,how will it affect you?
682757 tn?1226867854 After a couple of months of being on the 50s i insisted that we back down to the 25s because I had heard how addictive these patches were. So I have been on the 25s for about 4 months. About 6 weeks ago i started experiencing EXTREME fatigue, loss of appetite and headache which were constant. I was supposed to replace my patch every 48 hrs. I started noticing that I was getting exremely jittery, nauseaus and sweating after having the patch on for only 35 hrs or so.
Avatar m tn thank you. i just wanted to know if its std related tts all.
Avatar n tn I am detoxing after 2 years of being on methadone. My doctor gave me catapres patches but they make me feel really weird and zombie like, so I can't take it and go to work and watch my baby...I need some advice on what else I can take as far as OTC's to get rid of these stomach cramps. I feel like I'm going crazy. This doctor won't give me anything else..
Avatar n tn Top nitro, Nitroderm TTS, Myovin). Nitrates are also found in illicit drugs such as amyl nitrate (poppers). If you are not sure if any of your medicines contain nitrates, or if you do not understand what nitrates are ask you doctor or pharmacist. Penegra (sildenafil) is not approved for use in women. There is also a potential for cardiac risk during sexual activity in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease.
Avatar f tn My doc gave me Catapres - it's a BP med, not addictive. It helped me TREMENDOUSLY with the sweats and anxiety - it lowers the BP so if you've got low BP it's not for you. He also gave me Klonopin - very low, very limited dose to use ONLY if I really needed it in between the Catapres doses. I've taken like 1/2 a tab once or twice a day and that's it.
403399 tn?1201833095 I decided to stop, tapered down (although you said you had no more, so you have to cold turkey, which is also fine!), then I used the Catapres patch (Clonidine to help the withdrawals disappear-- in which it did indeed!) and then I was done! Now I'm NORMAL again! (Although many don't claim me as normal.. hehe) You'll be done in NO Time! It's a process, YES, not a dam event, always remember that! do you have a family doctor? If ya want, pm me and we'll talk more..
Avatar f tn Ok, so I'm slowly tappering off suboxones. I've heard of many on here talk about using a clonidine transdermal patch to help with w/d's. So I was able to obtain a descent amount of this - - only in tablet form, from a relative - - catapres O.2mg tabs.
Avatar f tn Figured it was the TTS... Last year my left leg would just go dead on me, I assumed it was the TTS so figured this is not good I need to go to the Dr lol He said NO this is definitely not my TTS. So, is it whatever I have going on that has effected my legs so long or is it TTS? No idea and really not sure what side mine started on because I'm not really sure when it would have started. Also let me add that even left sided people get the keys taken away.
Avatar f tn i know what u going thru this day 3 three for me but i didnt have to use subxone bec my unsurace did coverate my doc gave me a blood preassure medication that will control ur blood preassure and clean ur system out at the same time the name brand is catapres the generic name is: clonidine HCL 0.
