I have a prescription of Clonidine I got specifically to help me kick this mini habit I developed over the past two weeks. I ready online that the dosage can vary between 0.1 - 1.5 mg/day. I know everyone is different but that is a wide range. What is a safe yet effective dose to help combat some of the symptoms of opiate withdrawal?
 
What was the dosage your doctor suggested when he gave you the script..?

Most impatient detox units have .1mg of clonidine prescribed for withdrawal to be taken every 2 hours if your blood pressure warrants it... the danger of clonidine is that it can cause a steep drop in BP so it is important to monitor your blood pressure if you're going to be taking a lot of it.

The dosage depends on how bad your withdrawal symptoms are.. some people will be fine with .2mg's a day.. others will need much more... so it's hard to give you an accurate dose.

1.5mg's a day though all together is a lot and that much clonidine should only be taken if you are in severe withdrawal and having a really bad detox.
