If you have clonidine in your possession, it best have come from a Dr..If not, then I suggest you get with your Dr and discuss the use of it..It should be used only under a Dr's recommendation as it is a dangerous drug if abused..It works in specific situations at a specific time..If you are relying on word of mouth and acquired it off the street, you just might find, or someone will find, that your not with us anymore.

It lowers blood pressure to help with wd's but that has to be monitored by a medical professional that knows your BP history and adjusts the dose based on what he / she knows of you..Abuse it without knowing what your playing with can result in you not waking up one morning..Meaning you had a stroke and will not be around to comment on it anymore...

You really need a doctor to tell you how much.  Clonidine is a blood pressure pill and taking more than is right for you could have very serious consequences.
