Accidental Double Dose Of Clonidine
UpdatedI am on Clonidine for anxiety and other reasons. I take 0.1mg to 0.2mg at a time. Today I was watching my grandkids when I took 0.2mg around 3:30 - 4:00.
I had such a hectic day, got home at 7 and took it again forgetting I already took it.
Will I be ok? I'm a little scared...

How are you doing? Did you experience any adverse effects?
In most cases, unless someone is allergic to a medication, accidentally taking a double dose, just once, will usually only cause worsening of some of the side effects, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, sedation, lowered heart rate, and lowered blood pressure. But in some cases, this could put some people in danger, so in such situations, it is always best to seek emergency medical advice, via an ER doctor, or urgent care clinic.
Are you on any other medications?
