opiate withdrawal
"I have been addicted to opiates for over 10 yrs. and I have been through many horrible withdrawals.  After getting my habit over $150 per day I had had enough.  I decided to get on Suboxone.  I was prescribed 8mgs per day and this went on for over a year when my doc suddenly shut his practice down.  I decided this is the time for me to get off.  Well I found myself in the ER and the doc prescribed .1 mg clonidine.  It was a GODSEND!  It helped so much with the chills, sweats, crying, etc.  It does make you very drowsy but it makes the detox tolerable.  I was able to sleep and eat during the detox while on Clonidine.  I used Xanax at night also to help with sleep.  Clonidine helps big time!"
