User Reviews for Catapres

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.

Catapres (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: I take clonidine to lower the sweaty feeling that comes with taking methadone and it works well for me. Only side effect is I get dizzy sometimes when I stand up too fast.

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!

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

Catapres (clonidine) for Migraine Prevention: Clonidine will prevent a migraine for me, if I take it as soon as the headache is starting, and sometimes even helps after it's under way. Of course, the drug does cause wooziness, so I have to be careful about standing up or making other sudden moves. It's very effective, and cheap. Give it a 10.

Catapres (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: I have been on suboxone (since january 10), for opiate withdrawals and I am having panic attacks. I was prescribed catapress this month (the end of june, 10) with my suboxone and day 4 on it so far so good! It makes me sleepy and very mellow, calm like. I assume its doing its job, I only have taken it at night. I haven't had to take it for a panic attack yet.

Catapres (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: No more withdrawal symptoms. Clonidine works when I'm out of oxycodone. I can sleep and be normal like I've never taken an opiate.

Catapres (clonidine) for ADHD: I used it to come off of oxycodone and it helped some. My doctor continued it as an adjunct to my ADHD medicines and it was a nice mellow touch. Discontinued after a year; I take enough medicines as it is.

Catapres (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: Catapres does help with physical withdrawal. I am weening myself down on Duragesic From 50mcg to 25mcg due to the medicines withdrawal from the market. (FDA investigation stopped production around Feb 2011 and Johnson & Johnson has no OK to produce still.). After allowing the Catapres to work for a week, I dropped to 25Mcg with little withdrawal symptoms compared to the unbearable effects without it. You must try it and remember that its not a miracle medicine but a crutch to help you through what could have been a temporary absolutely unbearable experience. Some feel fortunate, blessed, rescued and saved.

Catapres (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: Clonidine is definitely a wonder for opiate withdrawal. I asked to be detoxed in hospital after over a year of pain management got the best of me...they aren't kidding when they say opiates are addictive. After 2 days of sleeping through cold turkey (for the most part) I was able to eat and act normal, with no physical cravings. They administered a combination of clonidine, Serax, Soma, Ativan and gabapentin, so I can't say which worked better initially. The clonidine seems to lessen the worst physical effects. It lowered my blood pressure a lot, so only 0.5mg dose was allowed at a time, maybe more would work better for someone else with higher pressure. Detox with a doctor's help, they've got lots of options.

Catapres (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: Works extremely well.

Catapres (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: Wearing the clonidine patch a few days and it is working.

Catapres (clonidine) for Migraine Prevention: A small dose of Catapres will stop the onset of a migraine, if taken before the pain gets really bad. It can also speed up the relief when taken with a pain-killer.

Catapres (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: I do feel Clonidine is a highly effective while going through opiate withdrawal. It helps a great deal. I couldn't imagine a detox without it.

Catapres (clonidine) for ADHD: It makes me sleepy during the day but helps with side effects of Wellbutrin (itching and stuttering). Helps me sleep at night so it is doing something for me.

Catapres (clonidine) for Opiate Withdrawal: This patch helped me so so much with opiate withdrawal. I used the patch for 8 weeks and discontinued my Ultram. I experienced zero withdrawal. I highly recommend using this patch to get yourself off the opiates.
