can clonidine make you forget things that are happening

i take clonidine 0,1 mg 1 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 2 at night.  I have been nodding off for split seconds driving which has only happened in the last few days, i don't sleep at night maybe 3-4 hours if lucky and that's not every night.  i have been confused, sometimes forgetting things like how did i get into bed, i don't remember.  Things are just very unsettled and very scarey right now.

That never happened to me with it!  And I've taken it for a long time.  I'd recommend talking with  your doctor about what's happening.  Could just be from exhaustion more than anything!!

i was prescribed this to help coming off of muscle relaxers but because they also help with blood pressure, which mine is not extremely high, it was prescribed.   I have reduced the amount I take but sometimes I still get the feeling, it's kind of like a little buzz.  I know I have to talk to my doc but I'm afraid that maybe there is something else wrong.  Thanks for your help.
