Clonodine is very helpful for withdrawals.

Just wanted to inform people that Clonodine is very helpful when detoxing. It is a blood pressure medication and must be prescribed by a doctor.  If you have very low blood pressure it's probably not recommended.  It is helpful if you are tapering down on Suboxone or perc's, vic's or going cold turkey. I have found it helps with anxiety, sleeplessness and even restless legs. My Suboxone doctor prescribed it on my first appt. to help in the transition from perc's to sub. and now I take it while tapering down on the sub.
****IT MUST BE TAKEN UNDER A DOCTORS SUPERVISION******    and it's best if you check your blood pressure regularly while taking it.
