A member asked:

Will clonidine help with oxycodone withdraws while tapering off of them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it can...: Clonidine has long been used to treat symptoms of opioid withdrawal and oxycodone is one of those. However, it should be taken under a doctor's supervision and prescription.
