Can you go through withdrawals from clonidine 0.1 twice daily only if used for 5 days? I have been on Methadone and Opana for a number of years now. I made the decision to get off the Meds and battle the withdrawals. ER Doctor gave me clonidine the help with symptoms have been on them for 5 days and ready to get off it. Any answers on timeframe or relevant info greatly appreciated. Main question is. "Is five days of clonidine 2x daily enough to experience withdrawal symptoms after done taking?" ## Hello, Louis! How are you? No, there shouldn't be any major issues after taking it for such a short period of time, especially since it is not an opiate. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, anxiety, dizziness and loss of appetite....

I have a drug test tomorrow and need to know if clonidine and clonazepam will test positive as the same in my system? Please help ## No deinitely not. Those two drugs are two completely diifferent ones. One is narcotic one is not. They arent used for even close to the same thing. Clonodine is typically used to treat high blood pressure, it is also used to helppatients going through opiate withdrawal. Clonazepam is used to treat sever panic disorders/attacks, and epilepsy to name a few. It is also considered a narcotic whilst clonidine woulnt even show up if your having a drug test. I hope this helps.

I went to the doctor for an unrelated issue. BP was high 200/95. Might be situational but she had me start a regime of .1mg of Clonidine 2 times per day. Took the first one at 7pm. BP was normal at 6 am. Can it work that fast or was my high BP situational? ## Hello, Scoop! How are you? Clonidine is known to work well and fast, but it wouldn't take it down to normal that fast, so it could be that your elevated blood pressure was situational. However, regardless of that, you do need to take something to prevent it going that high in the future, because that's a very dangerous level to hit that creates the risk of heart attack or stroke, unless your doctor okays your stopping it.

I strongly believe my ex wife is giving my 6 year old child clonodine against my wishes, I want to have him drug tested but cant find out for sure what type of test Clonodine will show up on. Per our custody order, he is not allowed to be taking this medicine, it has caused all kinds of bad reactions in him, but it knocks him out and he told me she still gives it to him before bed so she doesnt have to stay up with him. I am just having a hard time proving it. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated! ## r u sure clonidine? That's a blood pressure med

Liofen 10 Pills are round, white with SUN imprint on one side, scored on other side. Is this chemically similar to Baclofen? Arkamin brand Clonidine is scored, round white and imprinted with ARKAMIN. Do you think these are safe and effective? ## Unfortunately, since they are from India, I can't verify any information for you from the markings on them. There is no database of markings to refer to that would enable me to do so. However, I can tell that in the CIMS India database, Liofen is listed as containing the active ingredient Baclofen, which is a muscle relaxant. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and drowsiness. Learn more Liofen details here. I also can't comment on their safety and efficacy, since I have no information on their validity, efficacy testin...

I took 4 clonidines at 1:30 and the doc descirbed 2-3 and I heard these wouldn't hurt you it would just make it better but about 30 minutes later, I was knocked out and I woke up at 7 pm. So I decided to get up and I couldn't feel myself moving, but I was, and I went to get dinner and my eyes were seeing silver and black spots everywhere, and next then I know I'm on the ground with a chair on top of me! I got up and I didn't feel a thing but it cleared my vision up some but I still wobbled while I walked, and I couldn't eat dinner because my throat was tight and mouth was dry! WTF! ## Hello, Reeree! How are you feeling? I'm sorry about what happened. Whomever you heard that from was incorrect. Taking too much of any medication can be harmful and could result in o...

I have half a pill with 25 on the front and v on the back its round and light orange in color ## Hello, Don! How are you? I can't be sure, without knowing the full imprint, but you may have found a tablet manufactured by Vintage Pharmaceuticals that they list as containing 0.2mgs of Clonidine. It matches this description and the additional numbers on it would be 42. Clonidine is listed by the FDA as having quite a few medical uses, including sedation, treating ADHD and treating high blood pressure. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and headache. I'll keep looking and post back, if I find any other possibilities. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Clonidine Mylan Vs Actavis Filed in Clonidine Hello, I am on clonidine hcl 0.2 mg. twice a day. I started on the Mylan brand and only took it for one month. Then I went to a different drug store and they gave me the Actavis brand. I have been taking the Actavis brand a few months now, but it seemed like the Mylan was better. I just got a new perscription of the Mylan brand again and just took my first pill. Can you all tell me which of these two brands of clonidine hcl work best for you or if you can tell any difference. After I am on the Mylan again for awhile I will post here again and let you know if it is really better then the Actavis. Anything anybody can tell me that have tried both of these brands of this medication would be of great help. Thanks, nora ## I have been taking the ...

interaction between clonidine and seroquel cause false positive for amphetamines? ## Hi Jon, While I didn't find any specific details regarding Clonidine's false positives, I can verify that Seroquel (on its own) is known to cause false positives for amphetamines. Referenced from: askdocweb.com/falsepositives.html Many of these cheaper drug tests have a 40-50% chance of being completely accurate with the drug(s) in question. False positives are just another way of saying they made a mistake, but rather to put the blame on you as opposed to them. I hope you are able to get this situation sorted out. ## I just I just had A drug test that showed I tested positive for amphetamines. I take seroquel and colonodine and the to will show up as A false positive. So please post this to you...

SOMETIMES AT NIGHT MY PRESSURE WILL SKYROCKET TO ABOUT 235/105. I DOUBLE DOSE MY MEDS BUT IT STILL TAKES AROUND 3-4 HOURS TO GET IT DOWN; NOT LOW BUT LIVABLE. I TAKE CLONIDINE .02 LOSARTAN 100 MG AND SOMETIMES AMLODIPINE 5 MG. ## Actually, the only thing bringing it down after 3 to 4 hours is time, not the medications. These medications don't work like that to bring it down that fast, they take time to work, which requires consistent dosing for 4 to 6 weeks to have an effect, occasionally doubling up, just when it spikes does nothing. Have you consulted your doctor about the spikes? What are you doing that may make it elevate like that? You most likely need a med adjustment in the evening, which will probably be a higher dosage of one of them. One that you could ask your doctor abou...

Who is the manufacturer in the US? Are they located in Florida? ## Can you post back with the specific markings from the tablets you are asking about? Cloidine is a generic medication, so it is available from quite a few different manufactures, such as Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Mutual Pharma, Vintage Pharmaceuticals and several others.

It seems the other generic name for clonidine was not catapres, what other drug could it have been instead of catapres? ## no markings ## A257 is on the back of the tablet. Very important is that it's the extended release form of...

Can I take my expired clonidine 0.1mg patches as prescribed? What would happen if I do? I used to take these when I was WD from opiates. They worked great.
