Report

I have taken several medicines from different doctors to quit this drug but was not able to overcome it. The last treatment I took was 3 years ago where a doctor recommended me some medicines in which one of the medicine is arkamin 100 mcg (clonidine) .i was not able to overcome opium addiction this time also but instead, I became addicted to arkamin tablets and I start taking it in high quantity along with opium. Now currently I am taking 15 tablets of arkamin 100 mcg along with opium from last 3 years. I really need to quit these both drugs. Please help me. Advise me some good medicines. Is there any better medicines available in homoeopathy? Actually, I want to move on for further studies to abroad next month and I am really worried about my health and I want to leave these drugs behind here and want to start a new life. Please help me.

You can stop opium and can take ost initially. Ost is legal in most of the countries and approved including India. I can help you and guide you if you prefer to and also help keep your privacy should you really want.
You should if you want peaceful days ahead without any withdrawals or mood and cravings.

Hi,
Arkamine is not the medicine which is started initially until you have a derrange kidney.
Arkamine has to be withdrawn gradually and not all of a sudden.
If you are taking it thrice daily than change it to twice daily and then once daily and then stop.
Keep monitoring your bp.

Dear Harshan,
Congratulations for withdrawing from opium. When you could do it, you can try to withdraw from clonidine also. Use all your strengths and coping mechanism. You can go for 12 weekly therapy of motivational enhancement. It can be done online too. Please reduce by 1 tablet every day. Tomorrow 14 tablets, the day after 13 tablets....... In 2 weeks time you will be off clonidine if you continuously motivate yourself. Your goal will be to go abroad without any drug dependence.

your bp is not under control despite best medicines taken
go to local doctor and get bp monitoring done with another group of medicines
reduce salt to bare minimum
take more potassium through citrus fruits like oranges and lemon juice
exercises and yoga and meditation reduce stress and anxiety related issues
