Clonidine question

In going through opiate wd (Oxys about 200 mg a day insuffilated) which I am in some discomfort that's for sure... Anyway I've taken clonidine before for wds and the doc prescribed .1 mg twice a day... Worked pretty good. But this time a diff do prescribed me 3 a day... So the question is has anyone taken that amount while going through this? I don't want my heart to just stop, and feel like that may be too much... Any advice woul be great, or words of encouragement ... Thanks guys

Do you happen to have a blood pressure cuff so you can watch your BP .I would also call the doc tell him of the diffrance .

Hi-
Sorry but we can't advise you on dosages here; it's against policy. I'll just say you should go with your gut...

I wish you well with this. Are you getting any support/recovery care this time? If not, think about it.  It's a tremendous help...
