A member asked:
Would lisinopril help with opiate withdrawal symptoms the same way catapres (clonidine) does?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Catapres (clonidine) helps with opiate withdrawal symptoms by reducing the sympathetic nervous system (which results in a rapid heart rate and elevated blood pressures). Although Lisinopril is also a blood pressure medicine, it's mechanism of action is completely different. It is in a drug class called an ace inhibitor.
