User Comments about Lofexidine

25 Apr 2011

I have been given this drug to help to detox from taking pain medication (anything and everything codeine based) while looking after my 9 month old baby, not very practical as I am constantly dizzy and having stomach/leg cramps, feeling sick and just feeling unlike myself. Not great but Im going to see the detox through and hope the outcome leaves me dependant free!!
