How Long Clonidine Withdrawals Last Cold Turkey? (Page 2)

Omg I'm f***n miserable! I didn't think I would have withdrawals this bad after only a month and a half of taking thus drug everyday. It's literally comparable to a milder xanax withdrawal. Yes, I did abuse it. I would take 3 0.1 mgs 2-3 times a day. Tolerance goes up extra quick with this drug. I have none left and I'm on my 3rd day of feeling like s***. I'm on a hundred and 30 milligrams of methadone every day, and it's not even taking care of me in the morning times because of how s***ty I feel. Woah good lord I f***d up royally lol my tolerance for things is always extra high because of how long I've done drugs. I refuse to tell my clinic and I just need some help because I can't find any info about how long it stays in the body when you stop it cold turkey. Anybody have any information for me it would be greatly appreciated so I will have something to look forward to, cause lord knows hating life right now.

Congratulations, Wow you've come a long way, You must feel so good about just that. I see it's been a while since your last post. Are you finally feeling back to normal or not quite yet? I've got a long road to go as I am just now here and trying to find the best route to take to get me off Clonidine and gabapentin not to mention methadone. I never thought in my wildest dreams methadone would be the least of my concerns as far as addiction.

I have sort of an unusual issue called hyperhydrosis (severe sweating for no reason) of my trunk front and back. The specialist prescribed clonodine 0.1 2x a day. I took the drug for 6 weeks. the specialist told me to take it religiously. The drug dried up the sweating but also my mouth, nose & throat. I had no saliva so I could not swallow solid food unless I had a drink to get it down. However, the drug made me very sick, i.e. dizzyness, clumsyness, headache, nausea, salty taste in my mouth, drowsiness and more.

I went to see him 3 days ago and he told me to not take it any more. However, I did not realize I would feel kind of sick being off it. Approx. how long will it take to get out of my system? I'm going cold turkey. I was not prescribed anything else.

I feel bad for some of the posters with their awful issues. God bless and I hope you find the relief you are looking for.

I completely understand how anxiety consumes the whole body....I feel trapped underwater ready to pass out at times. I can't leave the house, My body shakes and my head jerks bobs, my voice is broken up...I look and sound like someone in withdrawals, yet I'm not. I do know what withdrawals are like only too well. I feel like Methadone is liquid handcuffs! Top 3 in my books! Hope you get to feeling better. No ones should just have to " live" with anxiety without help! Most doctors have the " God Syndrome ", would be nice if more had a even tolerable bedside manner. Some are compassionate and decent and use their knowledge to truly help! Others just ABUSE it....

Clonidine (Catapress) need only be taken FOR 7 DAYS....4 times a day A DAY @ at 8 AM, 12 noon 4 PM and 8 PM. This will give you time to think. Catapress can lower blood pressure and that is normal, you may feel a little slow so eat a protein snack like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for energy, eat apple sauce, turmeric and coconut. It takes patients and in seven days you'll be free. Pick out your favorite Psalms and memorize them. This will increase your power to get above your problem. For sleep take L-TRYPTOPHAN 1000 to 2000 milligrams with a cup of carnation instant milk. If you keep a good balanced diet and drink grape Gatorade for electrolyte balance you will feel a lot better every day. I like Puritans Pride. Be sure to take a multi -vitamin in the am and pm. I have years of experience and still remain strong in this field. Eat plenty of nopolito and alovera. Get hepatitus A and B immunization. Talk to your Specialist or P.A. and check blood pressure until it is between 100/68 or so to 120/80.

Regarding anxiety. A homeopathic remedy, Kali Phos 6X or 6C, perfectly safe regardless of any other drugs or any health conditions, is available at most health food or vitamin stores. It will stop a panic attack within minutes.

You must not eat or drink anything 15 minutes before or after. If you've recently eaten, rinse your mouth very well with water, but don't brush your teeth. Don't expose the medicine—even inside its vial—in sunlight or near anything that has a strong odor.

Put 4 tablets under your tongue and let them dissolve. Don't chew or swallow them. Use as needed. Higher potencies are available. Stick with 6X or 6C. Potency isn't the same in homeopathy as in pharma drugs.

You won't feel any highs or lows. You won't feel anything at all, except your panic or anxiety will stop.
