drug interaction between suboxone and clonidine, more details folllows?

I have recently quickly transitioned from methadone to suboxone. while on methadone for 10 years I was taking a quite high dose of clonidine for excessive sweating. The doctor told me to continue on the clonidine and we would taper down on that once I was on a stable dose of suboxone. He said there are no harmful interactions between the two. But whenever I take the clonidine it feels like it is kicking me into withdrawal again. severe agitation anxiety racing heart dizziness and double vision. Whats going on please? Thanks

So, if you look up drug interactions you will see this can cause head aches, dizziness, lowered blood pressure, feeling of dizziness from standing up, etc.  I am sorry I could not get it to post. Perhaps MH will no longer let me cut and past.

Hi, yes there is a moderate interaction, I tried to copy and paste it here, the system would not take it.
It can cause your blood pressure to lower, you could get dizzy
