Positive experiences
“Clonidine really helped me when I was getting off benzos. I still use it now as a replacement for when I get anxiety.”
“For acute anxiety or panic attacks I take Clonidine at 100mcg. It also makes an excellent sleeping pill.”
“I get some sleep now with .1mg clonidine and 25 mg atarax combined but it's often short and really broken up.”
“Once I got on clonidine, and it calmed my nervous system down, it started eating gluten again and I have no issue what so ever with it.”
“clonidine is the only thing I've found that has been able to stop that, rather than just sedate me”
Negative and mixed experiences
“it made me feel dizzy, sleepy, cognitively much worse during the day...felt like the two medications were fighting for supremacy.”
“I have clonidine prescribed at .2mg but even that doesn’t help a ton.”
“Clonidine was the worst, though. The anticholinergic affects were way too intense for me. It aggravated my symptoms.”
“My doctors have tried me out on clonidine and strattera, but neither of these were effective for me.”
“My psychiatrist tried prescribing me clonidine to help and it didn’t work.”
“I have comfort meds clonidine and hydroxzyine but they’re too damn sedating to take during the day.”
