Clonidine for withdrawal?
Given her age and not knowing her current blood pressure, it’s not necessarily a good idea to give more. If she’s really having a tough time, any emergency department should be able to improve her symptoms. Additionally, she may be a great candidate for Buprenorphine prescription. It can treat pain as well as prevent relapses to opioids. Sometimes it’s tough finding a doctor who is familiar with this med, but they are out there! READ MORE
What is the most successful way to treat alcohol addiction?
Everyone is different, but still to this day the most effective way to a meaningful recovery for the majority of alcoholics is a peer program such as AA. This particular program has saved millions of lives in less than 100 years of existence. There are also medications that can help certain individuals dramatically, such as Vivitrol. I’d say start by listening in on a zoom AA Meeting or better yet, go live. You can find them online. And speak to your PMD honestly about the situation. You are not alone. Over 10% of our population has suffered from Addiction and knows the misery and destruction it brings. READ MORE

Dependency to opiate vs addiction
Only you would be able to tell if you truly had true Opioid Use Disorder versus a physiological dependence alone. There is a lot of gray area and in-between spaces with this disease. You can look up the DSM5 criteria online, answer the questions to yourself with brutal honesty, and if you meet more than 2-3 criteria, you are likely in the realm of a use disorder. If the meds are causing you to be hostile and not know what you are doing more than just occasionally, then you probably have a use disorder. You can always consider switching to Suboxone which can treat pain as well as prevent progression of an opioid use disorder. A much safer alternative for someone who needs long term opioids. Good luck. READ MORE
Please suggest your opinion?
You most certainly are a human being with feelings. And you have been shaped by your experiences as a child. Since you are having such trouble, you really should reach out to your psychiatrist to reinitiate treatment. If you ever have thoughts of hurting yourself, please call 911 or the Suicide Hotline 800-273-8255. You are responsible for your own life at this point, so if you don't like how you are feeling inside, if you'd rather feel happy more often, then you need to take action to change that. READ MORE
Opiate use-legal?
You need to see a doctor to determine if you have a full blown use disorder (it sounds like you do). If you want to avoid the detox and don't mind being on long term medication, then I would guess from the little you have written, that you may do well on Suboxone. It can treat the withdrawal and also prevent you from using opioids on top of it (it will block the effects). Find an addiction doc, or psychiatrist, that can prescribe Suboxone. READ MORE
