hello, i am on 100mcg's of clonidine twice a day (morning and night) for anxiety and have been having a really hard time with the induced drowsiness. i was wondering if anyone else experienced this and how long it takes your body to get used to it to the point that i'm not falling asleep in the middle of the day.

thank you

How long have you been taking it?

According to the FDA side effects are usually transient and tend to go away after about 4 to 5 weeks, once your body gets used to the medication. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, and sedation.

Are you on any other medications? How are you feeling, now? Has there been any change?
