Clonidine is a weird med. I never knew it was approved for ADD/ADHD in some countries until I read it last week or so. It does more than just reduce blood pressure.
I took 0.1mg every night before bed, mixed with a cocktail of other meds. It helped make me drowsy. Oddly, it provided ZERO opiate WD relief for me - it just made me tired. I could take 0.1mg and still be shivering like crazy with chills/etc. Even though it made me tired, I couldn?t sleep if I tried to take less Oxy/Hydro or even skip a night does. So I found it quite useless... yet it did seem to make me drowsy so I kept taking it, maybe for 1-2 months straight.
Then I would run out, stop cold turkey, refill when I remember - and take for 1-2 months, repeat. Never had any WD from Cloidine, but then again it didn?t help WD one bit. Maybe the dose was too low to even affect me? Dunno. Maybe that?s why I got no WD as dose was too low and didn?t help.
I haven?t taken it in about 6+ months though. I assume since I haven?t taken any in 6 months that any WD symptoms would be long gone? I do have more anxiety/blood pressure is off, but I also started to smoke Pot which affects both so it?s likely that.
