I'm 15 and 100 lbs
But you should be completely fine. I've been reading about overdoeses on clonidine and you'd have to take much more than that. I was actually planning to down the bottle maybe a little less than that.

Seroquel is a dangerous drug. Read some info on it and be careful. I stopped taking it after I researched it.

Laura,

You might want to consult a local crisis center if your having thoughts of overdosing on clonodine...I get that ur parents family or friends at your age can seem indifferent but there's always someone that cares enough to listen if you reach out . Please take care,Kenie

So very sorry for the loss of your family member. I couldn't imagine that emotional feeling, then the terrible thing we call abuse I have been there so I completely understand why you did what you did. So did I, so let me tell you that it truly gets better. I can't say how long but it does, so please hang in there. Hope this helps. Wish I could help more in other ways. With a lot of love and concern I responded to your story.

I think I got my answer. I was just prescribed colonizing 0.1 msgs and it say two a day. Last time I was on this medication was years ago and n rehab. It was given with alternate doses of phenobarbital. They had to discontinue the clonidine after first day because my bloodbpressure bottomed out so am a little concerned about how will I know that there is the same thing happening?

Not a drug addict,

When someone uses that user name it makes one wonder what difference that makes when you ingest typically doses that defy medical necessity.Apparently it's so acceptable to bash those suffering from the disease of addiction but perfectly fine to intimate a mental disorder that would
gleefully attribute taking 10 times the recommended dosage makes you "feel great" . Do yourself and see a competent prescriber to evaluate your condition. Providing such information to those who make be struggling with life and death issues is reprehensible .

Seriously? Clonidine is not a drug of abuse, nor does it have any recreational value. At all. Perhaps you should refrain from making random remarks on a topic about which you clearly know nothing.

Actually they are commonly used to help treat addiction. Well more to help with some of the withdrawal symptoms. Again some like sweating, chills, restlessness, anxiety, etc, but not all.

Are any of you people ACTUALLY going to seek the ACTUAL medical advice from a board certified health care professional, or are you grooming each other on tips for how to abuse your prescriptions. If your doctor says take Clonidine 0.1mg daily at bedtime.....that is expressly what he wants. He would write a script slash order if there are gray areas or off label uses for the med. If he doesn't...I don't know. How bout you schedule yourself a doctor's visit at the clinic. The emergency room does NOT count as a wellness exam. Based on some of your posts I can imagine many of you frequent the ER for preventable self directed health problems. Stop asking Dr. Google, stop comparing your health to everyone else's health, and for the love of God stop taking everyone else's pills, stop giving your pills away, stop trying to titrate your OWN dosage by asking other unqualified *****s that you don't even know about how much you should be taking. Stop asking each other for medical advice. I am pretty certain in fact I would bet my entire paycheck that a doctor knows a little more than any of you people. After reading some of these nonsense posts I am wondering why none of you have perished for the choices some of you are making. I get a little tired of the joint commission breathing down all of these doctors necks because of fatties, drunks, drug addicts can't get their damn s*** together.

Um nurse jenny, how are obese individuals causing the joint commission to breath down anyone's neck? Just curious cause your rant was quite long. And personally all of these posts are utter nonsense to begin with. Half sounds like attention seeking and the others are so off topic it's laughable. For someone who just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with a possible lethal dose of clonidine this thread has spun way off its intended purpose. Your rant being one of them. Sounds like your just a frustrated health care professional who just wanted to blow some steam at some people who from the sounds of it need some serious help. So how does your needless b****ing help in any way? Either find another stress reliever or find a better forum to spit your venom.

Any drug is potentially a drug of abuse or perhaps misuse if it is being taken in ways other than how the prescribing health care professional has ordered.
