I’m thinking about trying to get clonidine. These restless legs and insomnia are killing me. I’m on day 4. Nothing is helping at all. I quit cold turkey 4 days ago. I feel like I’m dealing ok besides at nighttime. Any suggestions at all??

HI,
Yeah I used the clonidine 2 years ago when I quit opiates. By then I had moved up to chewing oxys all the time. When i was serious about quitting I went to the ER and told them what I was doing. They gave me clonidine,valium and compazine. All the meds helped me alot. I was still miserable but it wasn’t nearly as bad as if I had cold turkeyed it with nothing. The only thing that I hated about the clonidine was if you get up too fast you see stars. Other than that I was able to stay off since. I am on day 759

Everyone out there who is struggling…you can beat this!!
