And yes, it reduced the amount of pain I’m in. Noradrenaline can increase your perception of pain.

It’s good for methadone withdrawals to

Technically you don’t have a “right” to any medication, especially controlled meds like benzodiazepines.

@@struck.kobe1999 yeah you sound like all the idiot doctors and naive people. There are a ton of psychiatrists right here on KZfaq that say the best way to come off these drugs is to slowly taper, not to detox in 5 days or 10 days. You really have no idea what kind of struggles people go through that get taken off these drugs too soon. Do you know the effects? Or are you just a hater? Why are you looking up videos about clonidine which is a blood pressure pill?

Agree.

You're welcome 😊

Then why take it for 5+ years if it doesn't work?

@@lachousalle31 because it maybe working for other things like blood pressure! Notice they say it "doesn't work on me for anxiety" .

اگه میتونی ترکش کن بعد از پنج سال😂

@@lachousalle31 it’s also prescribed for high bp

Same here, I don't trust doctors at all anymore, it's more about money than actually curing people imo

yeah me too

Yes, most Dr don't these days can't think for there self

@@JamesHobart-tb6ik very true, it's like they are so afraid of someone overdosing even though I was on them and my methadone got years with no problems. They work so hard for their license and then are afraid to prescribe what actually helps people. Then that leads to people buying stuff off the streets which nowadays is ten times more dangerous than the thing they are afraid to prescribe you. I mean these psychiatrists don't even know about protracted withdrawal syndrome. They'll just spend 5 minutes with you and put you on a ssri, which sorry, that don't help anxiety. Serotonin has nothing to do with the gaba receptors. I literally feel like I know more than these people nowadays. I got the same access to research they have.

@@EdwardBose it's all they know from their lessons at big pharma inc...lol.

Yes it can be. Oftentimes that combo is used for patients who don't tolerate the norepinephrine increase or have increased heart rate with Effexor. It can also help with anxiety.

@@LevelheadedMind how do you know if you have an increase in norepinephrine? Thank you in advance. I may speak to my psychiatrist about it.

I’m on 225 mg of effexor and use Clonidine as needed. It’s been extremely effective! 😊

@@skigirlcaroline thank you for the response.. How long have you been on that dose of effexor? In on 187.5. may need to move up. Also how does clonidine make you feel?

Based off what she said .1-.2 ir is for anxiety

Tizanidine makes my bp go up several points. Guess these meds affect different people differently.

Thanks for the video idea. I will consider it.

It is scheduled for next Saturday, January, 27th from 11a.m. to 1p.m. EST. Hope to see you there.

It works great but higher doses I almost fell a few times from being light headed. The cool thing is it sort of reset me. Even not taking it now my sleep is more even. Disturbing and frantic nightmares are few and far between.

Try propranolol.

nah just learn to spell

@@mofo681 that's not how we handle similar sounding drug names.

Yes. Discuss this use with your doctor.

The only thing you can do is keep spreading the message. I took vast amounts of prescription medication in an attempt to overcome my anxiety but in the long run it only made it worse. Luckily there's been so much backlash over the years that Drs are finally being held accountable and suggesting other alternatives rather than strong medication.

Try listening to Binaural beats and sleep hypnosis. Sometimes it's not necessarily medication that you need

I think substances may help with many of the symptoms associated with anxiety.. I don't know. I've hardly suffered from what I'd call anxiety, (I don't count fear).

False. I’ve tried just about everything for severe GAD and Panic Disorder and Clonidine works better than benzos for me and a lot of other people.

@@ivantrump4022 that's great!!!!!! I'm so glad!!!! Do u get dizzy spells/fainting from it?
