Avatar n tn does clonidine in combination with ultram, help the severe withdrawal from opana?

"Rapid detox" programs claim to accelerate the process of detox and opioid withdrawal by giving large doses of opioid blocking drugs. Some programs place an addict under general anesthesia during the detox process. These programs have not proven to be more effective than traditional methods of detox, and may be more dangerous.

Avatar f tn If so, will he quit cold turkey, or will he be able to taper down? Tapering down would be the easiest on his body with less intense withdrawal symptoms! You can help him with that my controlling his doses! I don't know much about Klondine as I've never taken it! I believe it is a blood pressure medication and supposedly does help with withdrawals! Has your son been prescribed this? Hang in there and others will be along to offer support and advice! I wish you the very best!
Avatar f tn Why did your doctor just stop writing your script rather than tapering you? There are also some other prescriptions, non-narcotic, that can help, like Clonidine, which some people say really works well in easing the withdrawals.
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.
439522 tn?1214951189 m tapering down from Oxycontin (done a week ago) and now hydrocodone (down to 4 per day- 5mg). Dr. has me on .1 clonidine to help with the physical withdrawal symptoms as we move down. But, today he prescribed me tramadol...with lots of refills and for long term use. I had never heard of it, and the point was that I decided it was time to move off opiates and try some other non-narcotic pain relievers.
Avatar n tn I would like to know if I take Ultram for these w/d symptoms, will I then have to go through w/d symptoms when I stop the Ultram - and if so, what are they like? How safe or unsafe from a narcotic standpoint is Ultram? - and is it actually considered a narcotic? I've had a Dr. tell me no it is not a narcotic and a good replacement for pain control for other narcotics.
Avatar f tn I would just rip that scrip up but you would really be better off to fill the clonidine and take as directed.It is non narcotic and will not get you high.It is a blood pressure med and it will only help you.Since you have only been taking around five vics a day this will get better in about 4 days.
1013208 tn?1256824731 If you did the HCs for a month or more after going off of the suboxone, you're just going to go through regular opiate withdrawal. If you were going through suboxone withdrawal (just in my experience) you probably wouldn't have the fatigue, just the RLS and insomnia for a month. If you're in full withdrawals (which it sounds like you are), then I don't think the suboxone will haunt you.
610505 tn?1329603723 He agreed and gave me clonidine and xanax for the withdrawal. Out of my fear of the withdrawal I also made an appointment with the Sub Dr. that same day. He prescribed me Sub for six weeks only. So, heres the thing guys... I have been off all pain meds since 3/8/10, and I quite the Sub after only 6 days of being on it. 3/13/10 was my first day off the Sub.
Avatar f tn I can tolerate most of the Withdrawal symptoms that are given to me, but those cold sweats just have to go! Unbearable!
Avatar n tn everyone is different but i would prepare and ask ur doctor for clonidine like avs said and some non-narcotic aids to help u get off the meds u r on...it definitely will not get any easier to get off as time goes by...
Avatar f tn Is this from the withdrawal and has anyone had this problem? If so, is there any suggestions to help calm me down, (besides drugs!
Avatar f tn ) I have a PIC line for antibiotics so the staph will soon get better but my mail order pharmacy has been processing my fentanyl order for much longer than usual and I am on my last set of patches. I went through withdrawal once following a hurricane that shut down our city entirely for two weeks and it was not a pleasant experience. I have clonidine, valium and 4 mg dilaudid I can use to minimize the symptoms, but I am not sure of the proportions to use and how often.
Avatar f tn I did go see a doctor when I went cold turkey who gave me clonazepam and clonidine to help ease the withdrawal but all they did was make me sleep. The first week of my withdrawal was the worst at least what I remember of it. The second week I ended up in the hospital due to such lack of energy. It turned out the meds the doc had given me were interacting with other meds I was on due to my disorder and were causing my heart to beat extremely low.
Avatar f tn The worst of the WD symtoms lasts 4-7 days, although the sleeplessness usually lasts longer. I was on both Clonidine (a blood pressure med that also eases withdrawal) and Phenegran. Phenegran is in the anti-histamine class of drugs & is commonly used to treat nausea. So is Compazine and Vistaril. The anti-nausea effect is very nice, but these meds also make you very sleepy (as does the Clonidine).
228936 tn?1249094248 That's about right. In conjunction with benzos it the best narcotic detox with no narcotic rebound like meth or sub.
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?
1162610 tn?1262829016 I've been cutting down on my hydrocodone (Lortab) since my hip replacement 7 weeks ago. I was on that stuff for a LONG time for severe chronic pain though, so I've built up quite a tolerance to it. Although I've cut down, I'm still on it, in lower doses and it's going okay, but today my prescription ran out. I've only had a tiny amount today and that was about 10 hours ago. My hip pain is starting to get to me.
553001 tn?1218811768 Hi Stacy, I just found out yesterday that Neurontin really helps with the withdrawal symptoms. I have been on Percocet for 10 years so I know what you are going through. I tried the Neurontin for the first time today and I couldn't believe it. No withdrawal symptoms whatsoever and I should have been in major withdrawal by 3:00 pm and I still was fine. And the best part of all was I wasn't craving a Percocet like I normally do. I just was shocked.
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 I applaud you resolve to stay clean, but want to caution you that methadone is a long acting narcotic and your withdrawal symptoms will stick around for quite a while. You will feel rotten for as long as four to six weeks. You can try asking a physician to prescribe you some Requip for restless legs, Clonidine for blood pressure and general anxiety control and maybe get some over the counter Valerian for sleep and sedation.
