Right now, I am taking Busbar 30mg, Zoloft 100mg, Vistaril PAM 200mg, Ativan 2mg, and Clonidine 0.9mg. But they are not all prescribed for anxiety. It just ended up this way due to pain management and GAD treatment.
Vistaril PAM or (hydroxyzine pamoate) has the sedative properties that help with anxiety. Regular hydroxyzine is not what you want.
Taking Clonidine with Vistaril PAM & Ativan will really decrease anxiety and help induce healthy naps. Clonidine is the major contributing factor. I have been on it for 25 years and it never lets me down, always works. A Clondine 1.2mg PO (oral) dose will induce heavy sedation and is dangerous on so many levels. The long half-life is also dangerous for people taking Clonidine for off-label or non-prescribed ways such as combating opioid withdrawals.
Especially IV opioid disorders, the long half-life of Clonidine can linger and trick people into thinking it is out of the picture. Overdose from bradycardia is just one factor. As of now there is not a "reversal for Alpha-2 drugs" other than adrenaline, meth, or cocaine. Thus the issue with this "tranq-dope" Xylazine is an alpha-2 drug, but the Xylazine being used for tranq-dope comes from a concentrated version like 300mg/5mL. Clonidine is 40 times stronger than Xylazine mg vs mg.
