Summary
The study plans to compare the use of Clonidine versus Phenobarbital as an additional medication to neonatal morphine sulfate for treatment of newborn infants undergoing drug withdrawal symptoms due to mother's use of opioid drug use. The investigators hypothesis is that use of Clonidine will lead to shorter duration of treatment, hospital stay and thereby early discharge home.
