Suggest Remedies For Withdrawal Symptoms Of Clonidine

I was prescribed clonidine Hcl 0.1 tabs to assist with withdrawal from prescription opioids. I have been o opiods responsibly for over 15 years. I am concerned with what to expect if I go cold turkey? Will this drug relieve me of withdrawal symptoms or only some? I do not know what to expect and if I should take the clonidine while reducing the opioids or when I am completely off. Would appreciate any assistance you can offer. Will I get sick? Do I need to take time off work?

Hi,

Consult a physician and get evaluated.

Benzodiazepines have to be started after the initial evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
