Is the Aurobindo version of Clonidine HCL (0.2mg) gluten-free? ## Aurobindo lists the inactive ingredients of their Clonidine 0.2 mg (NDC 59651-233) as including: Corn starch, hypromellose, lactose, magnesium stearate, microcystalline cellulose 101, polysorbate 80. D&C Yellow 10, FD&C Blue #1. So, it looks like it is gluten free, but please be aware that inactive ingredients may change in the future. Ref: DailyMed ## It's kind of sad that I haven't gotten a definitive answer yet from this manufacturer. I had to start taking this rx 3 days ago. I just went with what the pharmacist found in the paperwork of the product.

I am a counselor at a ministry for addiction and need to know if clonidine will test positive for Benzo's. ## Clonidine is not a benzo. It is a blood pressure medication and off label can also help with anxiety and insomnia. This med is often confused with klonopin because of the similar sound of the 2 words and for the fact that is can be used to treat anxiety. But the chemicals in clonidine are completely different then the chemicals in benzodiazepines , so I couldn't see any reason at all it could test positive for a benzo . I also researched clonidine pretty extensively when my dr suggested it for me. So the answer is no. Don't worry , it's not a benzo . Hopefully you are also not confusing it with klonopin, cuz if it's klonopin your talking about then yes of cou...

I have been on 0.1 clonidine now for several years. Recently i have been getting very high spikes. My doctor increased me. I was taking 0.1 twice a day. I now take 0.4 split up into 3 times a day.

Clonidine does test positive I've been going to outpatient and I'm on vivitrol which is an opioid inhibitor and i do a drug screens everyday. I'm on clonidine and gabapentin for withdrawals and my drug screens test positive for bup. ## When you say its comes up at Burp. are you meaning the ingredient in Suboxone. ## What can you clonidine show up as in your urine?

Has anyone experienced anything like this? ## What time of day are you checking it? Has there been anything you've done differently those days, before checking it? Such as being more active, smoking, drinking alcohol, having higher amounts of salt in your foods? Learn more Clonidine details here. There are many things that can affect your blood pressure and it will always fluctuate throughout the day, depending on what you're doing. To get a good average, without anything else affecting it, my doctor has me check mine only a few times a week, first thing in the morning, before I get exercise, drink...

I was just informed that my family member just took 7 Clonidines. Is this an overdose? Please answer as soon as possible. ## I sincerely hope that this person's family member suffered no ill effects.

I have recently been put on this drug for sleeping and well its not working at all. I have been taking one at night before bedtime which is what I was told but is it safe to take 2 since im not getting any rest with the 1? ## Also I failed to mention in last comment they are 0.2 mg ## I would recommend trying 1 1/2 first take it no more than 15 mins before bed it works fast. But if u take it 1hour or 30 mins before bed you can kind of simulate yourself into it not working then it loses its effect. Once the groggy effect wears off before your in bed most likely you will not fall asleep well. ## I would also call your doctor to let he/she know it's not working because if you increase your dose without say so to the doctor they will not be happy and you will run out of meds early. If t...

I have a little fat round peach colored pill with a line down one side and L and 165 under that on the other side. ## Hi K, I located a round peach colored pill with a score line on one side and the letter "L" over "165" on the other side to be a 0.3mg Clonidine hydrochloride tablet.

They go on to state that Clonidine extended-release tablets may treat ADHD by affecting the part of the brain that controls attention and impulsivity. Labeler:...

My diabetic and hypertensive mother (age 88) was recently hospitalized for weakness and frequent falling. She has been on clonidine and a new doctor took her off it. She has been having horrible waves of nausea and diarrhea for about a week and a half now. She has to force herself to eat a couple of bites of each meal, and she weighed all of 92 pounds when she went in. Besides the hell she is going through, I am worried about her wasting away. How long does the clonidine withdrawal process last? ## Are you saying they just abruptly took her off of it? Did they replace it with something else? Are they providing supportive therapy? I doubt that the hospital will really let her waste away, if she starts to lose too much weight and isn't holding anything down, they will force nutrients ...
