How Long Does .1 Mg Of Clonidine Last For? (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

Im a 33 year old woman. I was just prescribed .1 mg of clonidine for OxyContin withdrawals. I have bend using Oxy's for about 2 years now. The clonidine seem to be working and I have weined myself off from 60mg a day to 20mg. But now the next step is to go off completely. I need to know how long they last in your system. I know it's at least 3 or 4 hours but not sure if any longer. I want to take my next dose before the withdrawals start. Plz help. Mom of 2

You can take the clonidine the minute you start feeling bad. I suggest taking .2mg-.3mg initially for the first couple nights, take less in the day. It makes you feel heavy and very tired, but works great for withdrawals as it keeps the restlessness, anxiousness and hot/cold sweats at bay. You shouldn't need it longer than a week. Take L-Tyrosine to re-up your energy levels. Good luck!

I've been reading about the success with clonidine for methadone withdrawl. I have been taking Methadone for 6 yrs because of severe fibromyalgia. I decided 8 weeks ago to start getting off, knowing how difficult the withdrawl will be. I was on 15 mg 3x day. I have gotten myself down to 5 mg in the am only. The clonidine .2 mg patch is not helping withdrawl at all. I'm grateful the pharmacist wanted to check BP after I was on the patch for a week. I have never had high blood pressure, but because of the severity of withdrawal, it was 178/109. I live alone and feel so beat up from this withdrawl, I don't know I will be able to stand it when I take the last dose, for the last time. Do any of you know of other meds that can get me through this last phase? I know Methadone is one of the worst withdrawals and can stay in your system for over a month, even though you stop taking. I'm 63 yrs old, use to be in great shape, runner for 30 years. These last 6 yrs have been hard, but getting off meth has been hell. I'm a strong person, but I'm terrified for what lies ahead with withdrawl.

Most definately the Clonidine!! My old Doctor from around 15 years ago gave it to me for sleep as I was really having a ton of problems trying to get any sleep. The Clonidine also makes me so dizzy that I have to sit down as fast as I can before I pass out. Even though I have been taking it for this long. Now ALL I want is to get off of the Clonidine. I am looking for answers to stop taking mine completely. My Doctor said they would NOT help me get off of it at all.

I hope that helps you with the answer you are seeking?

you will feel weak and tired for a few weeks after coming off oxys and hydros, also the cravings suck. Its hard but it can be done . When you go through withdraws like that it feels like it will never end at the time and you will feel depressed. It takes a good 30 days for the body to get back to normal.

If u r too sick to stay hydrated it can kill you through dehydration. I experienced this after having a rapid detox procedure. And this was with my husband and mother supposedly taking care of me. My heart rate was down in the 20s. I passed out once when my husband was getting me out of the bath tub because that was the only place I could get warm. And then they leave it up to ME if I want to go to the ER. They said another 2 hours I would have been dead.
