Can Clonidine Be Taken In Place Of Oxycodone For Treatment Of Anxiety?
Hi, I am tapering off Oxycodone and the specialist suggested 0.1 mg. Clonidine up to 3 times a day to help with anxiety. We are trying Depakote to help relax. Do you like the Clonidine idea? Also should I stop the Depakote while on Clonidine? ( Don t want to be a Zombie). Thanks Sorry, no money to pay. Thought it was free.

Hello,
Clonidine is prescribed in anxiety disorders also. So, as your doctor has prescribed, you can go for it.
Depakote has no problem with clonidine. Maybe your doctor prescribed you clonidine as Depakote is going on.
So, have faith and go on with the treatment as said by your doctor. You are under good treatment, that much I can assure you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
