Opiate Withdrawal
"I had a clonidine patch to help me withdraw from oxycodone (as prescribed for foot/ankle surgery). The patch helped with that, and my doctor continued to prescribe it for a year, as he felt it would take that long to truely recover. He also treats me for ADHD (it is used in conjunction with stimulants sometimes), but after a year we dropped it. It&#039;s stabilizing I guess."
