Has this worked for anxiety for anyone?if so what was the dosage used?like how frequent i guess do you have to use to feel less stress.

Clonidine is not an anti anxiety medication, but rather an anti hypertensive medication (used to treat high BP), it is Rx'd a lot during detox to help keep BP down, and does seem to have a calming effect for some people.  It doesn't have a HUGE potential for abuse, but it should only be used short term, during the initial phases of detox.  Also, never take more than Rx'd, there is a good possibility you could become hypotensive, which could result in a medical emergency.

Ya my doctor put me on a low dose of this for oxy withdraw 0.1mg twice a day for a month but i was already at 10 days sober! It really helped me to relax and stop moving my legs so much! Careful though i can see how it could be abused there were days i wanted to take a 3rd or 4th to become evwn more relaxed! And be ready to pee 20 times a day!
Best of luck
