Methadone to Clonidine

Methadone to Clonidine

I decided today after speaking with my doctor to discontinue the taper of my Methadone treatment. I will take my last does of 40mgs of Methadone on Monday. Wednesday morning I will start my .01mgs of Clondine, every six hours as needed. Does Clonidine help the acute withdrawl (withdrawal) syndrome?

During my detox from methadone I used clonidine & yes it really does work wonders, I used it 4 days after taking my last dose of methadone & it saved me from many bad days, Im not saying I felt great on clonidine as I did,nt, but I sure felt more relaxed & could sleep.  Take Care Penelope

Good luck and congrats on your decision and commitment to quit this madness. I didn't use Methadone but was on hydros 10-12 a day for over 5 yrs and did ct. almost 10 weeks ago. Clonodine helped me alot with anxiety related to wd and helpeg some with sleep as well. It's late and many are off for the night. Try sending a PM tp SadinMichagin. I think she went the methadone route. Good luck to you. Wish I could have been more help. Corey
