Clonidne

What is this used for? I've seen some people post that they used it for w/d. Is it a benzo? Is it worth asking my dr for?
Clonodine ( catapress ) is a blood pressure med, and standard protocol for opiate wd,it is not a benzo, not an opiate yet it does hit the receptors and helps alleviate some of the wd. My husband used it and said it helped with the leg kicks and the creepy crawling feeling.
You can get it in pill, or patch and the choice is yours to ask the doctor.

Good Luck...
Love,
Tina

Lynn, I was given Clonidine earlier this year to get thru oxy w/d. I really can't say that it helped me a lot. It did make me sleepy. It's only prescribed for a week or two.
