I have recently been put on this drug for sleeping and well its not working at all. I have been taking one at night before bedtime which is what I was told but is it safe to take 2 since im not getting any rest with the 1?

I would recommend trying 1 1/2 first take it no more than 15 mins before bed it works fast. But if u take it 1hour or 30 mins before bed you can kind of simulate yourself into it not working then it loses its effect. Once the groggy effect wears off before your in bed most likely you will not fall asleep well.

I would also call your doctor to let he/she know it's not working because if you increase your dose without say so to the doctor they will not be happy and you will run out of meds early. If the increase works there is a 0.3 mg tablet too. You can also look up other strengths of the medication. But one important thing about this medication you do not want to run out of it. It's a blood pressure medication to lower it so not taking it can cause serious blood crashes. After taking it for a long period of time you have to be weaned off of it. Kind of like most meds sadly. I hope this was helpful and good luck I hope things work out!!:).

Hi. I have been put a dose of 0.2mg in place of lebetatol 300 3times a day. Was takin off lebetatol due to severe dizziness. But 3 days now on clonidine 0.2 and feel just the same. I get up to walk and get dizzy. Can't even leave my house without going thru this. Is there anything else I can take to lower my pressure that won't cause such dizziness? It's affecting my work and my life daily.
Very urgent

No went through it with nothing thought I was going to die. Was on 100 mcg every other day. So glad I'm not on those been clean since 2006 august. I would recommend no one be on them unless they r not expected to live long sad but true. Not a good med it always ends badly no matter who u are.

Re: Leslie Epps (# 1) Expand Referenced Message

I was just prescribed these also the 0.2mg and boy half,an hour later I fell asleep on the bus, I don't like them at all. Think I'm gonna stop taking it I'm gonna give it one more try on my day off on Sunday. I also take one subutex a day for the past 3 months. They say it's also used to treat ADHD but so is adderall and that stuff gets me wired and alert. How come this clonidine do the absolute different effect??? Any and all suggestions welcome. Do I have to let it build up in my system or what?
