Clonidine 0 1

is clonidine pill coded u 135 the same as a pill coded mylan 152? ## yes. I used to get mylan 152 and today got u 135. They are the same. I checked. ## That is correct, they both contain 0.1mg of Clonidine, they are just made by different manufacturers. Clonidine is used to treat quite a few medical conditions, including hypertension, neuropathic pain and opiate withdrawals. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and hypotension. Lean more: Are there any other questions or comments?

Clonidine, sold under the brand name Catapres among others, is an α2-adrenergic agonist[7] medication used to treat high blood pressure, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, drug withdrawal (alcohol, opioids, or nicotine), menopausal flushing, diarrhea, spasticity and certain pain conditions.[8] It is used by mouth, by injection, or as a skin patch.[8] Onset of action is typically within an hour with the effects on blood pressure lasti...

How many Clonidine's of 0.01 mg could cause an overdose?? A friend of mine has taken more than prescribed and I would like to know if what she did take is safe or not. ## My mistake. It's clonidine 0.1 mg ## Without knowing how many they took, it's difficult to say. When it comes to overdosing, it can vary according to the medication taken, the person's overall health and their tolerance to the medication in question. In other words, someone with a very high tolerance that has taken something for years may not have any problems taking a very high dose of something, where a fraction of it may cause an overdose in someone that has not been on it very long or who is in questionable health. However, yes this one can be dangerous due to its mechanism of action, so if you'...

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...

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, sedation, hypotension, and insomnia. Is there anything else I can help with?

## My husband was recently put on this medication for his blood pressure. Since taking it he has lost 40 pounds in a month, his skin is pale, he has to eat tons of fiber and laxatives to have a bowel movement, he is anxious, he has no appetitie, and he sleeps almost instantly after taking it. This is not near all of the side effects that he has experienced from taking this medication. When he called his physician his physician told him that he may have to reduce his dosage. Reduce his dosage? ! Get him off of this medication, it is killing him ! I have never seen my husband so weak, so thin, so pale. He says he feels like he is dying. So if you cannot go off of this medication without weening off of it, how do I go about getting him completely off of it before it kills him? Tommorrow wh...

What all can it be used for other than blood pressure treatment? ## This is sometimes used for migraine headaches as well. ## Occasionally some types of after surgery discomfort from mild procedures, on top of what nenene already stated. I have also heard some people have been given it by their docs to help with withdrawal from other meds, but this is a total off label use, so I don't know much about it. ## My son uses it for his Tourettes. It helps with his tics, but makes him very tired. ## Withdrawal off klonopin which can be worse than opiates. I was in combat 25 years special unit. On and off klonopin and ativan 25 years. This last wd almost killed me. Doc started replacement with slow wd and clonidine. I have complex back and neck injuries. Also relived by clonidine taking pla...

Are the Clonidine U-135 pill the same as the Clonidine R-127?? I got them from two different doctors and I wasn't sure if they were the same. They have a different taste. The u-135 are white ovals and are tasteless and the round orange R-127 have a horrible taste. ## Yes, they have just been manufactured by different companies, in this case Unichem Pharmaceuticals and Actavis respectively. The taste can just vary, depending on the inactive ingredients they choose to use in them. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, hypotension, mood changes, tiredness and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

My doctor has started me on clonidine pills, taking them 2-3 times per day. I was told by a nurse that he has me taking too many. Should I be concerned? ## Hi Pamela, u didn't mention the reason why the doc has u taking it or the mg. it is. (theres many reasons docs prescribe it). Anyway, my doc prescribed it to help with the side effect of extreme sweating I get from being on methadone (in case ur not familiar, methadone is a med that helps keep people off pain pills). I'm not a junkie however from a few scripts for legit pain pills from doc it got me hooked. However, with the help from the methadone I've been completely clean 8yrs now. Anyway, my doc gave me 0.2mg of clonidine & said to take 3 times a day. However I only take it once maybe twice only on days I really r...

Hi i was wondering if i took 2 0.1 mg of clonidine would it hurt me i just got prescribed them help me sleep and they did not make me sleepy so i took one more is that bad ## Hi Kerri, According to NIH, Clonidine is available in three dosage strengths (0.1 mg, 0.2 mg and 0.3 mg). So it's certainly not unheard of to take 0.2mg. The following excerpt on 'Clonidine's maintenance dosing' was quoted from NIH's webpage: "Further increments of 0.1 mg per day may be made at weekly intervals if necessary until the desired response is achieved. Taking the larger portion of the oral daily dose at bedtime may minimize transient adjustment effects of dry mouth and drowsiness. The therapeutic doses most commonly employed have ranged from 0.2 mg to 0.6 mg per day given in divid...

Have been struggling to taper off Clonidine since mid Feb. Was on 0.2mg transdermal patch for 5 wks; switched to 0.1mg patch for 10 days. Had 5 withdrawal rebound attacks in that time, the first time when I stopped cold turkey, a couple times when the patch would lose its potency from peeling off, and then when I dropped from 0.2mg to 0.1mg. In each case, BP spiked between 160/95 to 180/100 and had anxiety, tremor tachycardia. I can always tell when my BP is elevated by the surge in anxiety and HR. Doc prescribed Verapamil 80mg TID to help manage the rebound which I soon after stopped, as it didn't help with the rebounds; later added Lisinopril 10mg to no avail, but am still on it. I now am trying to manage weaning off using Clonidine 0.025mg caps I had compounded and still reboundi...

what color is clonidine 0.2mg ## what color is generic clonidine 0.2mg ## That is impossible to say. Once a pill is available for generic manufacturer, it is made by many different companies and each pill will look different. The color is entirely up to the whit and whim of the manufacturer. There is no law that says all 0.2mgs have to be the same color from one company to the next, so some may be white, some pink, some blue. ## Is .02mg 3 times a day alot. It does make me very sluggish, will that subside in time? ## I need help with getting clonidine 0.2 mg can you please help me I have high blood pressure, diabetes, glaucoma, depressing and No medical I do wirk but its so expensive I cant afford the clonidine thanks ## Are u looking for clonidine cuz I have plenty of them available
