 <br />
SWIM used clonodine to kick his/her addiction, his/her cat would now like to do the same.<br />

SWIM was lucky enough to get hold of some from a very kind person.<br />

Does anyone know of any ligitimate websites where clonodine can be obtained?<br />

Of course this all may be a lie.<br />

Many Thanks. :)<br><br>
