880900 tn?1467270141 I used Clonidine during detox and was glad I had it! As long as you don't have blood pressure issues, then I think it will not harm anyone. Clonidine helps stabelize the bp and it really was a godsend for me! I only had 12 of them and so I wasn't on them very long. I didn't have to tapper off either. I also took cymbalta and remeron for sleep, now I take 2 cymbalta a day and the remeron at night.
1700643 tn?1464846682 I already have xanax but will be going to see the doc and ask for clonidine. Think I might inquire about cymbalta too. I had depression before becoming an addict and I know from the past that quitting makes the depression much much worse so this might help. Thanks you for posting.
Avatar f tn re already taking high blood pressure meds, you need to ask him about that and perhaps you can switch to Clonidine to get the benefit from the high blood pressure meds and help with the w/d's. I would say that the Clonidine cut at least 50% of my w/d's if not more. It will almost completely get rid of sweats, chills, even bone and joint pain that you feel with opiates.
473503 tn?1225489964 I know for a fact that the clonidine will infact give you all of the fatigue that you have now. Dont believe me ? dont take one of the pills in the morning, go about your business for the day take the evening pill & you will see that it truely is the clonidine thats making you tired . But i wouldnt think that would make you swell so yeah see the doctor about that & tell him the clonidine is making you tired. Just seen my doc for this very reason . Switched BP meds & fine now .

1935252 tn?1329757119 Today is day 6 of my journey through this w/d hell, and I'm still not feeling any better... I don't know what to do now, I'm vomiting none stop it seems and my head feels like it's gonna explode! My emotions are out of control and my kids and husband are looking at me like I'm dying, and I feel like it... I'm an emotional mess and I'm no better physically. How much longer do I have to battle this?
Avatar m tn Can anyone tell me if cymbalta along with colonidine will help at all with tramadol withdrawal im on my first day of cold turkey and someone handed me these meds and said these would help please let me know as soon as possible im in a dark place right now but i am dam determined to succeed at this effort Thank You.
1935252 tn?1329757119 I have admitted to my doctor that I have a problem and he prescribed cymbalta and clonidine. Can this help me with w/d symptoms or is it a waste? None of my family knows about my addiction but I am 4 days into w/d and I feel like I'll die. The rls is the only thing that I have trouble dealing with... any suggestions for how to help myself without relapsing?
722310 tn?1234762137 I am desperately trying to cut back on the clonidine and zanaflex and I am experiencing terrible w/d symptoms. (heart racing, anxiety, sweating, pain, nausea, etc.) Could I be still having w/d from the tramadol or is it the other meds causing it? Did I just give up one addictive drug for 2 others? I am so tired of this continuous roller-coaster of chronic pain, meds, w/d's, pain... The dr has also put me on Cymbalta, it has been 7 weeks. It doesn't seem to be doing very much.
Avatar f tn the sub/bupe would not be my first choice unless u r a very heavy user and even then not sure i would....clonidine will help and so with sumpin for sleep and anxiety..exercise and the thomas recipe..a plan helps to quit..a written taper with a QUIT day or just CT...
596143 tn?1226648054 I'm on Cymbalta for moodswings and fibro. Someone posted that they were on Cymbalta and Lamactil and it worked well. Cant find the post. Anyone taking this combination and does it work.
Avatar n tn I was put on cymbalta for depression and nerve pain ( RSD ). I hate taking new medicines I know nothing about. I am young and I am afraid of it. I start off taking 30 mgs for a week than increase to 60 than I will get up to 120 at some point. Could someone please tell me something about this drug? Is it safe? Thanks Susan...
Avatar f tn Last week I was crawling up the stairs on my hands and knees and going down on my bum and from mid-morning yesterday to today, only a slight ache in my really bad hand.
Avatar n tn i have taken tylenol alot lately, and it doesnt help at all. I actually have a drug called clonidine, and it doesnt really help, but it is for recovering alcoholics. i have got the worst "jolts" ever, and my husband is not very understanding at all. he works constantly and my kids are driving me NUTS!!! i feel like i could blow at any time. There isnt any way for me to get any other AD's. This is really scary for me!!!
Avatar f tn Has anyone any experience with Clonidine and Lassix in pregnancy? Do they cause miscarriages?
1258539 tn?1293840202 Overall I think Cymbalta is one of the best medication out there but this have a cost. Cymbalta cost is outrageous and Cymbalta is very hard to stop. I stopped cold-turkey after using it for only 5 months and I had brain zaps for a little more than a month. The withdrawal was quite severe but it is expected with all potent powerful antidepressant.
Avatar f tn personal_page_id=817569 The link above takes you to the person on here who wrote about Cymbalta and Abilify helping her daughters. It is written in five parts. Thought you might be interested.
Avatar n tn I have come off of a lot of my medications. My final meds are Wellbutrin, Trazodone and Cymbalta. The Wellbutrin is suppose to take the place of the cymbalta. After horrible withdrawal, I came completely off of Cymbalta last week. I became so depressed that I couldn't stand to talk, much less move. All I wanted to do was sleep and be left alone. When I did interact, I was grizzly mean.
Avatar n tn fairly mild though, if you taper real real low. I got off cymbalta, subs, and topamax within about 3 months span... life is WAY better. I'm in a 12 step program.
Avatar n tn The average dose for Cymbalta is 60mg per day, and although some doctors do prescribe it 120mg per day...there is no evidence to prove that it helps any more than the 60 mg per day. The maximim dose for Prozac is 80mg per day so you're still below the highest dosage on that one. I doubt your doctor will increase the Cymbalta anymore, and if he tries to...find another doctor! Best wishes.
Avatar f tn My sister started taking Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia and her appetite dropped a lot, and just a few months later she was pre-diabetic. I have read some other people's comments saying that going on or even going off of cymbalta has really messed up their blood sugar. some people even say that it made them diabetic. so if you are on cymbalta, just watch out for some of the pre-diabetes symptoms and tell your doctor about any weird eating habit changes that happen.
Avatar f tn Namaste, mcmcorp45 offers excellent information and advice and it is true that studies have shown that Cymbalta does note alter the reproduction process. If this is going to be your first child and you are having difficulties, I would consult with a doctor, who may need to refer you to a specialist as mcmcorp45 mentioned. Don't forget to have both parties evaluated for a possible problem.
Avatar m tn There r a lot of difrerent suggestions on the forum but cymbalta,clonidine,xanax worked best4me.DONT TRADE1ADDICTION FOR ANOTHER(PEOPLE SUGGEST METHADONE OR SUBOXINE DONT DO IT JUST ANOTHER ADDICTION)ur so young u can beat this.Any questions ask,u will have a crappy few days then u will come out of the fog.
Avatar n tn And Paxil gives more people a rough time upon stopping than any other antidepressant other than Effexor (and, ahem, Cymbalta). Your friend should have been tapered off the Paxil, and maybe was, but if not, and even if your friend was, there's a lot going on now possibly, too much for us to say which is which.
Avatar n tn As Lulu747 I also used clonidine while tapering off opiates and just wanted off and went cold turkey over a year ago. (morphine sulfate and fentanyl patch). The clonidine did help with my w/d symptoms as well.
712802 tn?1274645485 No longer covered by her Medicare, her psychiatrist took her off the cymbalta and abilify. Switched to prozac 40 mg once a day. Last day for cymbalta and abilify was Wednesday. She is having horrible throbbing , headaches, angry outbursts, crying, the "runs", nausea, panic, agitation. She cannot get to sleep and wakes up after 4 hours once she does get to sleep. What she wants to know is whether or not she can take tylenol for the headaches?
Avatar m tn I was on Cymbalta and experienced those side effects, but was much better after switching to Lexapro. Good luck!
714288 tn?1243254191 lol Maybe someone else can tell you their experience on cymbalta without the methadone and you can improvise accordingly. good luck http://www.cymbaltawithdrawal.
