Hey u all am new dnt really knw how thz works. But I do knw reading all your stories helps 2 a degree. I would like to tell u whats going on with me and anyone feel free to comment. I was a opiate addict for 2 years took any kind a pills I could get my hands on. I am on day 6 rite nw of being clean and to mention I have bronchitis. I was so weak yest had to fess up and tell my doc what was goin on and he sent me there. They didnt do much bt gve me clonidine and a antibiotic. Well I have not took the cloninide today becuz I didnt really knw am I still withdrawn or does the bronchitis have me dwn. I went thru extreme physical wdrawls the first fw days bt I cnt even pull myself up 2 clean my house. Should I take clonidine or am I just sick

broweyedgirl gave you some sound advise. Take it easy and just stay the course clean. It will get better as lon as you don't give in. I have seen people hooked on clonidine too so my 2 cents are dont take it. You will only be switching your addictions to it. There is no doubt that once a pill addict allways a pill addict. Just do it one day at a time, keep posting and talking about it, be truthful and bring the disease out to the light. Once we do it starts to lose its power and grip over us.

You can do it!

Have you tried prayer yet?

I just said one for you.

cloninide or however you spell it...lol.  I really can't type right now.

I have heard clonidine had helped alot of people with wd.  Does the dr that prescribed the clonidine know you are taking atenol?  If your dr knows and he prescibed then it should probably be ok.  I mean, i would love to have some clonidine right now.  Going through severe wd's myself.  If you can tough it out then good for you.  I wish you the best and hope you feel better soon.

Ty yeah I really feel like the bronchitis is playing a major role in this

Hi! Welcome. The first 6 days of w/d i did nothing. I didnt even cook dinner for my family. I had zero energy and was sick. I thought it was all w/d but turned out a wicked sinus infection was brewing. Try and take care of you today. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Thats true and no its nt addictive I was just researching it. It is suppose to help w wd bt its a blood pressure medicine to and I already have to take atenol for my mitral valve prolapse.and the pharmacist said they could interact. I took today off frm work any advice on when I should try to go back. I stayd up all nite coughing bcuz of thz bronchitis I guess

To be honest with you I don't know anything about clonidine.  We all have to make our own decisions but I would say that if it isn't addicting and it makes you feel better take it.  If it is addicting I would totally stay away from it because then you're just trading one problem for another.

[mercedeze]

Aw ty guys so much am I doing the right thng by nt taking the clonidine. Still cnfusd abt that nt even sure what it will do 4 me

[Danny111]

I totally agree with dbrowneyedgirl.  Don't even worry about the house work.  By far the most important thing is that you don't use.  You've made it to day six which means you're on the downhill side of the wd's.  In a few more days you won't be feeling many physical symptoms at all.  Don't bother with housework, or any chore you don't feel like doing unless it has to be done.  Just get yourself through a couple more days and things will be a lot better.  

Hang in there a bit longer.  You're doing great.

Just be sick today. Take it easy as you possibly can. You're prolly feeling down cuz your sick and coming off opiates. The housework can wait. Believe me it'll be there tomorrow. Only do what you can. Take care of yourself and remember if you don't do anything today except not use then you did A LOT today. Take it one day at a time. You're doing pretty good not taking any opiates. Tomorrows another day. Live for today. Good work on 6 clean days. Hang in there. You'll feel better soon. I promise. Gotta go to work now. Hope you feel better :)
