Thanks for the great infomation, I am sure this post will help other people that are looking for more details on Clonidine. It has proven to be a very useful drug that has many medical issues.

On the side effect problem, I would just like to add that medications can affect every person in a different way, so while it may not cause a lot of side effects in some people, there are others that may have a terrible time with it. It doesn't necessarily mean they have some other underlying condition or are on other medications. Some people are just super sensitive to medications.

I am a prime example of that, when trying to get my blood pressure under control, fully knowing exactly what my medical condition is and what I was taking, I proved to be super sensitive to the effects of many of the medications that other people take with no problems, such as Metoprolol.

So, in that respect, it can really all depend on the individual.
