Clonidine nearly saved my life and my sanity as I was coming off of 30 years of pain medications and benzodiazepines! I’ve been on it for 11 months and it’s been a game changer for me, with absolutely no side effects except a dry mouth once in a while. It’s slowed my pounding heartbeat, decreased my blood pressure which was elevated due to withdrawals, my anxiety that came with all the symptoms of withdrawal, and until my body goes back to normal, which usually takes about a year or so the doctor said after being on medication‘s that long, I’ll stay on it until my cardiologists directs me otherwise. So thank God it worked well for me, I hope it does the same for others!

I just got prescribed it for opioid withdrawal symptoms as well I’m hoping it calms me down I can get some rest and not have a spinning head for the next four days cold turkey oxycodone

[@TevelleAlexander]

Clonidine is a magnificent medicine for withdrawal, hardly feel any of it👌

[@user-us5pv8zw3z]

I don’t know about opiate withdrawal, but it helped me get off of Kratom.

Is it dangerous to take mirtazapine and clonidine together?

[@monami9930]

Yes. Mirtazipine decreases effect of Clonidine . Risk of hypertensive urgency

[@struck.kobe1999]

@@monami9930 that’s not correct. If anything, they would cause a hypotensive crisis

Can you do a video for quetiapine i heard they prescribe it off lable for sleep

[@coast_2coast]

I would go with something else for sleep buddy

[@alt0232]

Nah man quetiapine literally turns off my brain activity and i end up falling asleep soundly, the other stuff just makes me drowsy but doesnt help me sleep

[@coast_2coast]

That's fair, I was on it a little while and had some harsh side effects, I put on a stone in one month

[@alt0232]

@@coast_2coast yea the side effects at first are ass tbh, i take 25mg but i cut into 1/4s that little thing puts me out you should maybe try that i only used it for a couple if weeks tho as advised by the doc

[@connnnnnor]

seroquel isn't recommended for sleep but it is just so effective at knocking you out. i can't even keep my eyes open on 100 mg

[@Crystal_Libra]

Clonidine is a godsend. I would ask for clonidine before ambien to sleep.

[@janiceduncan9147]

Sounds like I do not want to take that. !

[@sewndebisdream6953]

Be careful...it causes so many side affects I couldn't deal with...I'm still trying to feel better after going off this drug.

[@dontmeidgaf2888]

Just quit or did Big Pharma get em😢

[@Payton_Jordan1997]

If your a diabetic you should not take clonidine. Or only take a small dose.
