you will have to taper , from the clonidine, it can only help with some of the withdrawl symptoms..... it will not make them all go away .... theach you have been going threw this for a while have you thought about a program , not everyone can do it on there own you seem to be really struggling with this . have you considered sub ........ I recall setting you up a taper at one point ......

[wait2long]

i am on suboxone maintenance...
i used the clonidine to lesson my withdrawals symptoms during my 5 day withdrawals process from methadone for my transition to sub and for 5 days after...
do you think you might be using the clonidine to lesson the anxiety that comes with the withdrawal process? you do have to go slow hun...what does your doctor say?

[teacher569]

almost 1 month. have a refill. Are you clean?

[wait2long]

ok...i took it for 10 days for withdrawal purposes too, i do not know how long you hjave been on it...but you HAVE to taper from it or you could end up with rebound high BP...
so if you start to reduce your dose every 2 days, you should be ok...you shouldnt be too uncomfortable when all is said and done, but do go slow...maybe just cut pout 1/2 a pill every 2 or 3 or even 4 days...
i tapered off in 4 days, but was only on it for 10...
how long have you been on it?

[teacher569]

withdrawl purposes.

[wait2long]

are you on it for blood pressure reasons?  or did you use it for withdrawal purposes?

[teacher569]

clonidine the bp med.

[wait2long]

or klonopin the anti-anxiety medication?
