Careful with clonidine

Me and my doctor added clonidine for anxiety about a year ago. I was taking .2 mg twice a day and my doctor decided to reduce it to .1 mg 3 times a day. Since the reduction my blood pressure has been crazy. My resting heart rate is definitely higher and when my anxiety is bad it feels like my hearts gonna pound out of my chest. So PSA be careful with clonidine it can cause rebound hypertension when discontinued.

Wow! That sucks. Thanks for the warning.

Take buspirone liké me because it’s good for anxiety and panick attacks without side effects and the withradal IS very easy i do a withdrawal easily one Time. Buspirone IS not a benzodiazépine Also.

It’s definitely inspired me to get back to walking/biking. Gotta get my blood pressure down somehow. Probably gonna start supplementing for it.
