Hi Mark!
Sorry this took so long to respond .. . haven't been on here in a while. I was on clonidine when I was younger. I was 17 and had RSD for a while by that point- 5 years, and it was helping with skin sensitivity- I wore the patch form of it. But I was very small and already had low blood pressure and would occasionally pass out. My parents were convinced I was going to pass out behind the wheel of my car. So they said car keys or patch. I gave up the patch. (I was 17!) My doctor didn't tell me to wean off of it, so I just took it off one morning. By that afternoon my pulse was up to over 200 and I was in the ER. Youngest almost heart attack they'd seen in my little town.

That's been my worst experience with any med, ever. I credit my boyfriend at the time with making me go to the hospital. I was just like, no I'll be fine, I just feel a little funny. So wean down!
Hope you feel better by this point.
Linnie
