Clonidine

Hi there, I am tapering down from methadone, was at 130mgs two years ago, and am currently at 41mgs, now tapering 2mgs/ week. I know this is a low and slow taper but still I am not feeling so great. I keep getting hot flashes, nausea and going hot and cold, it's uncomfortable. My methadone doctor suggested clonidine for these symptoms, I know some of you have tried it and I was wondering if it helps much, and is it worth even taking? Thanks for your responses...G

Dito!!!! It does wonders for your BP being out of wack. I took 2 a day for the first 14 days. I dont need as much now maybe 3 a week now. But yea for sure if your DR says you can have it I would say it worked well. Good luck and keep posting. Take care and God Bless!
