User Reviews for Clonidine

clonidine for Perimenopausal Symptoms: Using 0.05mg morning and again late afternoon for hot flushes (menopause). The hot flushes have definitely abated. Dry mouth, for sure, but that makes me drink more water, which I need to do anyway.

Catapres (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: This made me more "at ease" in my opiate detox without the narcotic effect.

Catapres (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: Clonidine, or catapres, is a Godsend for opiate withdrawal. It takes a lot of the worst parts out of it. Best done under supervision of a compassionate doctor.

Catapres (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: It seems to be helping so far, without having to go through detox.

clonidine for Opiate Withdrawal: I found clonidine to be the best thing ever for the withdrawal symptoms. For me it took all the withdrawal symptoms away. It took about 7 days and I was feeling very good. I was able to sleep the whole 7 days I was able to eat. To me that was just unbelievable - anyone who has been through a opiate withdrawal you know what I mean. Try it you wont be sorry you did.

Kapvay (clonidine) for ADHD: I have a 8 year old son with ADHD. He is extremely hyper and unable to focus, school and friends became a true nightmare. We see a wonderful and highly respected psychiatrist. He is very knowledgeable on ADHD medicines. I was told when their is an emotional factor to the ADHD, Clonidine is the best medication for this. We tried Clonidine after MANY stimulants and non-stimulants also anti-psychotics. Clonidine 1.0 mg 2x a day this was the only medicine that we saw immediate results with. The only side effect was the tiredness, which did go away. I started him on the Kapavy 2 weeks ago. This medicine is a true GOD send. He is calm, focused, and far less emotional. We can't say enough great things. Please give this medicine a try.

Catapres-TTS (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: I've been on Oxycodone for over 3 years thanks to a drunk driver that hit me. I had a cervical fusion and suffer from Chronic Myfacial pain syndrome. I am basically tired of being stoned on Oxy and would like to downgrade to a NSAID. The catapress patches work absolutely great when it comes to the awful withdrawls from Oxy. The first day or two I was pretty out of it, but like most medicines, it wore off and I don't feel like I need to pop oxys as much as I did before. I recommmend it.

clonidine for Opiate Withdrawal: does great to help withdrawls!

clonidine for High Blood Pressure: Clonidine along with Diovan brought my blood pressure under control. The side effects that are so annoying for me are extreme dry mouth and constipation. So, I chew gum, gargle and brush my teeth with a product for dry mouth, and I am using Mag 07 for the constipation. I dislike the side effects but I am so glad my blood pressure is under control.

Catapres (clonidine) for ADHD: My son has been on this for about 2 years, as well as vyvanse. It really calms him down so he can go to bed and get a good nights sleep! He used to have nightmares, but since hes been on this medication, he hasn't had one! Again I thank the makers of these wonder drugs and I know my son thanks you all as well!

clonidine for Opiate Withdrawal: I have been taking one 2 mg clonidine twice a day for Opiate Withdrawals. I have a $200 a day Heroin habit. With the Clonidine I have not been sick.

Catapres (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: This does help a little but it doesn't take it all away.

clonidine for Insomnia, Stimulant-Associated: My 5 year old son is taking clonidine for insomnia and I can see a difference in him.
