Interesting situation with the Clonidine. My son had a terrible reaction to it and almost the reverse of what's happened to you by the sound of it. He was on Clonidine when he was little but wasn't on it for all that long. Maybe a few months in total and the exact dose I forget but it was pretty low and was a bedtime dose only. It used to be a first line medication in children who had severe tics plus he had migraines, sleep issues and suspected ADHD at that time. The Doctor was trying to see if it would help multiple problems.

He had a terrible time on it. He was so pale and he perspired all the time. His skin was cold and clammy and was very tired all the time even though the dose was night time dose only. He had to be weaned off it slowly. It didn't help any of his symptoms at all. In fact, I think it made his BP wayyy too low.

I hope you get some relief DejaVu. I totally understand that this is prescribed for a totally different issue for you, but just wanted to tell you about our experience.
