Clonidine is a blood pressure medication that can help ease some of the withdrawal symptoms. I took this and to be honest, it helped with the sweats and body aches slightly, but thats about it. Look up the Thomas Recipe on this site and give that a try.

It won't help with the most annoying symptoms, RLS and yawning.

W/D's are not easy, but they are managable! Congrats on taking the steps to be clean!

Thank You tommm70, I only have taken this one bottle of pills, it is not a on going problem, mabey the W/D won't be too bad, I just got off Meth, I used that to manage the prescrip pills.
