I have been taking clonidine for two weeks and have shortness of breath. I run up the stairs and can barely breathe. Is this normal?

Yes, that's one of the side effects, also orthostatic hypotension, which means when you get up after laying down for a while you will feel dizzy, etc.. because of a drop in your blood pressure. Clonidine has other uses besides hypertension. Opiate withdrawal is one. Good luck.
