If u r in wd, ur anxiety level is high...so the chances of it making u sleepy decrease significantly and hopefully the clonidine will bring u to  normal state...if it makes u sleepy u may need to get the dose adjusted..i am not sure of ur habit before//how much or what u were taking
It is a blood pressure medication...a potent one and has a side effect of drowsiness cos it slows everything down..so it helps the runs, sleep, anxiety etc. If u have a low blood pressure as a rule, it is not a bad idea to check it if u can after u take it, specially if u feel dizzy or light headed upon standing.
If possible, I would take the first dose at a time i didnt have to work..before bed...but not always possible

good luck and keep posting

It may give you a bit of dry mouth, but I haven't noticed it making me sleepy. Read the bottle. 1.5mg sounds alot better than .3 mg. I am glad you got that worked out. Have a great day. What the crap 16 hrs shift, either you are self employed or you are working for the Gastopo!! LOL We do what we gotta do, but 16 hrs.. Wow
Good Luck and God Bless
