1124967 tn?1283705847 Does anyone know the usually dosing amounts to help for severe wd or what the max allowable for clonidine? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
1335947 tn?1275685447 Its for high blood pressure, they have also used it for insomnia, and adhd in children, dosing for wd's are usually .4mgs .. I have tried it.. It will help with the chills, watery eyes, and runny nose.. It wont help with the cramps!!! Nor the lower back pain!!! It also gives you dry mouth. I could fall asleep for a lil bit, but would wake back up very uncomfortable!! I don't know how it works for others though. Read up on it!! When they gave it to me, I googled it!!!
1762497 tn?1313272219 Here is my question over the course of the last month i was slowly weaned off a yr and a half addiction to dilaudid. This past thursday my doctor gave me a script for clonidine to help with some of the withdrawal symptoms. I am about to start taking it tonight for the 1st time as directed, how will it help ? and how will i feel in the coming days as my body adjusts to not having the Dilaudid.
Avatar m tn 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...
Avatar f tn You may be having too much clonidine if your feeling dizzy and lightheaded. I had clonidine and valium to take together by my subutex doctor for detox. It worked wonders.
1128565 tn?1316721143 The normal dosing of clonidine are 0 .1mg as a standard beginning dose. Thats what I was given. Instruction were that I could take "up to three" at bedtime but to never exceed that amount. Partly due to see how an individual adjusts to the med once they start taking it as best I can remember from what my doctor said. I then asked if this would conflict with my regular BP (metoprolol 50mg) medicine I take once a day to which my doctor said it would not be a problem..
981443 tn?1250115802 i am on 50 patches i want to stop i have clonidine can i start taking clon.
656243 tn?1231288052 Hey eveyone. I was recently put on Clonidine to help with anxiety and I am currently on Effexor. Does anyone have any past experiences with Clonidine? Does it work? Do I have to build it up in my system? Thanks C.
Avatar f tn I have been on methadone for 2 1/2 years and have been tapering down for about a year of that. I am on 4mg of methadone now. It got the hardest when I got to 12mg and since 6mg it has been even more difficult. I was prescribed neurotin which has def helped witb the withdrawal and also clonidine which helps when I can't sleep. I just don't want to be dependent on another drug when im done with the methadone. I was planning on dosing to 3mg then 2mg then 1mg being on each for 4 weeks.
Avatar m tn I just wanted to ask if clonidine, nerontin, or Valium help w opiate wd?? If so when should I use it? Pls help!
Avatar f tn But after 3 months I needed more per day because they stopped working at minimum dose. I decided to just start dosing down but that was hard also. I ended up throwing them out and just detoxing off them with clonidine. Took me a week too start feeling better. I am on week 3 and not taking anything. I crave to feel good again and pain free but I don't want to get hooked again. I have cesarean back pain. ***** mostly at work I feel tired still. No more narcotic for me. Withdraw s are awful.
237152 tn?1206651036 Dr. prescribed Clonidine to ease w/d off hydro. I'm already on day 3 clean, so do I really need it? Should I take it? The w/d symptoms aren't that horrible, more emotional than anything. My question is does it help with cavings? Is it ok to take if I am in charge of 3 young kids tonight? Will I be able to function ok?
Avatar f tn Call your local pharmacist. We at MedHelp are not allowed to give out dosing instructions. Your pharmacist will be able to tell you exactly how to dose the medications. If your regular pharmacy is closed on Sunday, call any pharmacist availabe at your local grocery store or drug store such as Walgreens, CVS, or RiteAid.
Avatar n tn Immodium helps with restless legs too. Google it to see about dosing as I'm not allowed to recommend it here. I think that benzos for sleep are a good idea. They won't make it worse. I've done it before. Just only use them when you NEED them. Being tired and not letting your body rest WILL make you feel worse. If you can't sleep, try to get something for anxiety *from a doctor*. A lot of people suggest clonidine. I hope that you tapered.
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..
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.
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.
