Opiate Withdrawal
"I&#039;m on clonidine .01 mg before bed for anxiety and opiate withdrawal. I&#039;m not finding it to be super helpful with either issue, although it does take the edge off some of the withdrawal symptoms. I had high hopes after reading some other reviews but I&#039;m not experiencing the same effects.  I&#039;ve been on various opiates for the large part of the past 20 years, the last 6 on methadone maintenance. It has done wonders for me, but I gained a LOT of weight when I went on the methadone and I want to try to taper so I can successfully stay sober and maintain a healthy weight. So far I&#039;m not feeling hopeful but it&#039;s only been a few days.  I&#039;ll try to report back in a week or so."
