Avatar m tn His blood pressure fluctuates from 120/70 then 190/94 (3-4PM). So, he takes 1/2 of Clonidine HCL (0.1mg) then it drops to 58/47... eventually it comes back to 120/70 at night. Labetalol HCL 200mg Two time daily (8AM and 7 PM) Libinopril 10mg One time daily (noon) Gabapentin 300mg Two time daily (10 AM and 8PM) Clonidine HCL 0.1mg. Take 1/2 Tablet when blood pressure is higher than160/90. With high potassium, he doesn't eat banana, orange and cocoa. He also has gout disease.
Avatar n tn I was Rx'ed clonidine HCL as a potentiator to opiates, essentially so I could take less of a bad thing. Beware there is such a thing as clonidine withdrawl - FAR worse than opiate w/d - pounding heartbeat, sweats, and lots of anxiety. What happened was I had quit opiates long ago, continued clonidine for my hypertension, then when I quit salt (removed from my Rx diet by my MD)- my blood pressure tanked, and that's when I suddenly had to quit clonidine, which was worse than opiates!

Avatar m tn I was also wondering if anyone new about incorporating Clonidine HCL 0.1MG with a tapering schedule to detox off of Norco 10/325? I take 15mg. a day, or 5mg three times a day and would like someone to provide me with a slow tapering schedule to detox off of this medication that also uses Clonidine to help reduce the detox withdrawl symptoms. I am presently going through withdrawl symptoms everyday such a muscle and bone pain, sweating, mood changes, etc.

Avatar m tn I went to the doc yesterday and she gave me clonidine to help with the withdrawls, which everyone knows are hell. I was wondering if anyone has taken this medication and if it works.

656243 tn?1231288052 Some confusion. He was speaking about Clonidine, a blood pressure medication used off label to control mood disorders. Klonopin is an anti-anxiety medication which is a benzodiazepene. I have been on it for years. The only risk is the potential of building up a tolerance to it which has been of concern in me as I have had to gradually up the dose with my psychiatrists permission. But generally its safe long term.
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.
Avatar m tn anyone have any info on using Clonidine .1 mg for opiate withdrawal systems? Suppose to be a high blood pressure medication, but says it can be used for withdrawal systems too? wondering if it really works?
Avatar f tn I did have unprotected sex with a female in October. I self-medicated myself with ciperfloxacin hcl which right away took the swelling away in my groins and testicles. I did go see an urologist after taking ciperfloxacin hcl. The urologist didn't think I had an std plus my urine was tested for an infection and came up clean. I was sent to have an ultra-sound done on my testicles. They came up fine. Can anyone give me their input on what i could have had? Could this have been a std?

Avatar f tn It is a medication for high blood pressure but lots of people use it to help with opiate withdrawals, so it depends. What did the doctor say about why they gave them to you?
