Can Clonidine Patches Be Removed To Avoid Dizziness And Hallucinations Caused By Them?
i was put on a weekly klonidine patch for the purpose of weaning off of a nartcotic oxycontin that i dont want to take. I am experienceing intermittant dizziness, halluciantions, weight gain and I passed out. other than seeking medical help should I goand take it off. I have had 2 seperate ones within 10 days, will it hurt me to take it off until i can get help?
