I'm glad you did not get those.. I'm sorry you do not feel like you can be honest with your Dr. That makes it difficult to manage your health.. I wish you well...

yeah unfortunately clonidine has been the only hypertensive blood pressure med that truly aids in easing wd's as much as any drug out there..it really helps with the hot/cold flashes, the temp. and BP spikes, and the restlessness and insomnia as well, it is truly one of the most important detox meds for opiates.it would be nice to have all BP meds aid wd's, but sadly clonidine uniquely is the only one..-christos

so it wouldn't be wise to just get some from a  friend.he also takes 3 or 4 b/p meds.i was just going to get 10 or so,but i dont know the ramifications,i just hear that b/p meds. are good for withdrawal.thanks for your response
