Question 4

quite lortab cold turkey not by choice.going on 18hours since 5mg pill.was at 30mg daily for 3years.i feel sick.clonodine being called in.i'm scared.

Accepted Answer

Fear not: This is a very good response to the withdrawal problems. Some of them are from the elevated BP and this will lower that, relieve anxiety, help you sleep and generally get you through the rough spots of getting Lortab out of your system. But - PLEASE - discuss w/ Dr. right NOW how you'll get off Clonidine since it is also not safe to do alone. Learn from this to always plan for the end of any drug.
