Opiate Withdrawal
"I&#039;ve found clonidine does help very much with physical symptoms of opiate w/d.But many Dr&#039;s dont want to give more than a few pills at the lowest dose. Which wasnt any help at all. Its unfortunate that I ended up failing cuz I couldn&#039;t find Dr. to &quot;trust&quot; &amp; understand I could handle a short term prescription- which regrettably led me to a methadone pgrm. Now I know better I know what I&#039;ll need once I finish tapering off the meth. Only thing is I don&#039;t hear anyone speak about side effects of stopping the clonidine tho. I gave it a 7 because I always get an uptick in my BP &amp; heartrate. Best to be very careful &amp; use for shortest time possible."
