- Clonidine, once primarily marketed as Catapres, remains among the 100 most prescribed medicines in spite of being on the market for over 50 years. While approved for treating hypertension and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, doctors routinely employ clonidine for a wide assortment of off label purposes.
Clonidine may assist in withdrawal from opioids, alcohol and tobacco. Clonidine finds use in treating menopausal or treatment induced hot flashes, the flushing of rosacea, PTSD and some anxiety related disorders. Interest in clonidine relates to its supposed ability to reduce neuropathic pain from nerve damage related to diabetes and shingles.
Side effects related to clonidine tend to be relatively mild and diminish with continued use. Some may be especially troublesome: dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue and headache. More problematic are vision disturbances, restlessness and erectile dysfunction. When used as a patch applied to the skin, irritation and blisters may develop.
Clonidine may aggravate the central nervous system depressive effects of alcohol, barbiturates and sedatives. Tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline impair the blood pressure lowering effect of clonidine. Combining clonidine with atypical antipsychotics such as Abilify or Zyprexa often result in dizziness and fatigue.
I love how these pharmacological studies say "We don't know exactly how it works in the brain, but it is believed to..."
Scientific language must be precise… the resistance to certainty is actually what keeps it as safe as it can be. I appreciate it a lot.
Thank God for smart people who study science.
They don't know the mechanism of their own synthetic chemicals but condemn alternative therapies that show good results just because they don't understand the mechanism.

It's tranq the illegal drug mixed with fentanyl
I’m so impressed with his knowledge. You can tell its through genuine experience, not just book learned. These doctors are dying out these days. Sad to see.
Bro he reads from a script but ok.
This dude hands down has the best videos about medication. I almost took some pretty fucked up medication
There's natural remedies that got my girlfriend off antipsychotics without panic attacks or withdrawal. There's plenty of stuff you can utilize depending on your individual needs
@@wakenow7612 can you share some of those remedies please, I'm trying to not take Clonidine
@@rafaelelh8578 GABA( natural amino acid), heavy doses of L-theanine. Get Inositol B8 and or other vitamin b supplements, ashwaghanda root powder, ginger root, valerian root, lots of water, and sometimes CBD can help
@@wakenow7612 you mean desensitizers!
@@rogerhackler223 you could say that yes. I would highly recommend looking into healthy alternatives if you have been on these types of medications. Lemon ginger tea can help with anxiety in concert with other vitamins and supplements.
Thank you for listing so many different uses for clonidine. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this CZcams video.
Update 5/3/2024: he is 7 1/2 now and still takes it at night before bedtime. & is still doing amazing💙
My 4 year old son is autistic and takes one every night. If it doesn’t, he will literally be up until 5am and sometimes 24 hours he sleeps wonderfully.
my little brother has to take it to or he will be up all night and morning but I'm sacred that it will mess him up and not cause him to be the same in the future.
@@itzyoboymo745 I hope that your younger goes on a self starvation spree so he doesn't feel desensitized, and yes I do hope, and pray that he will quit eating food completely, and don't do anything to stop him, because of the fact that he doesn't want to take desensitizers. Therefore if you love your brother don't stop him from doing what I mentioned, as for you about what mentioned involving your younger brother here is to you, which is FUCK YOU IN THE NAME OF PRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP!
Great medication mam for real my lil son on it too , very common, great to see it work for your kid , works wonders tellin you
I used to take it with Ritalin.
You sound like a smart dude. That's a lot of information rapid fire. Excellent video. I just applied the patch lets see what it do. Going to check out your other vids.
Very helpful information and explained in depth.
This will definitely give me needed guidance in deciding if other meds should be my first choice for my sudden reoccurrence of hypertension after several years not needing any meds.
Please make more videos. Whatever you say, is stuck in my brain unlike other videos and people
Thank you for all of this useful information. I was prescribed Clonidine for tics. 25 micrograms (one tablet) per day which I tapered upwards to 75 micrograms (three tablets) per day which was the maximum my doctor recommended before I should notice undesirable side effects. My tics did not improve and I had severe urinary retention. I was suicidal at the time which may have featured, but as soon as I tapered off Clonidine my bladder went back to normal.
excellent, informative video
Informative video about the medication
Thank you for the information.
I used to be on clonidine for ADHD...it's off label uses are crazily varied! I had no idea it was used for so many different things
I've been put on it a few times for that too.
i use it for tics caused by one of my adhd medications
You're the best. I keep learning from you.
Holy cow does he really have all of this memorized? Legit medical genius

@@51hankyspanky7 … You’ve lost your mind! This doctor would make a better president than Biden any day. He could be both Biden and Fauci and this country would do much better!
it call reading from a script he very informative remember he old school doctor the best old is great
You can see him looking away slightly to read something. Having said that, I am still very impressed with him.
Best dann answer I'v ever gotten to a question i'v asked on the internet. Thanks Doc.
Yes, he's very thorough 😊
Thanks for the information Doctor you are the best I wish I can have you ! So hard to find one Doctor like you God Bless you!
lots of good info here. Clonidine is the only drug for BP that has worked for me.
I had a stroke because they told me use as needed. Never do that
I just started using it 3 weeks ago I’m so happy to read my BP is normal. After 10 years of taking different meds. I finally found the right one. It scares me how fast it lower my BP. I’m doing more research about it.
@@paulrodriguez4075 Can you give more info on that, I was just prescribed "as needed"
I really like clonidine now. I am taking it for HBP and I feel great. But they gave it to me when I was about 13 and I was like a zombie.
@Joseph Knecht yes sir. I would take it on and off. Also when I would run out of my losartan potassium and just take. The clonodine. Which was my mistake. My blood pressure was 238/187. It’s weird that you don’t feel abnormal even when I had the stroke. It was really a brain swelling close to my brain stem. Applying pressure and that was why i couldn’t walk. I heard someone say that we store dopamine in a place and it release the dopamine in concentrate to your brain which deprives your brain from oxygen then you have brain hemorrhage. Which is what happened to me. Plus high cholesterol = a “perfect storm” that’s the explanation they gave me. They never told me about the clonodine or explained what it can do. I researched it myself. They just instantly took me off of it. But never take it as needed or abruptly stop taking it. It used to be called catapress and gave many people strokes in the 70s and 80s. So the changed the name to clonodine
Thank you Sir!
Incredible….. thank you Doctor
WellNowDoctor thank you for explaining this in detail, this has been prescribed to my 11yr old son.
@Mung Bean we stop giving this to him. The School that he went to told us that we had to get him on meds or he could not go back to school. They think that he takes them. The Dr. diagnosed my son with 4 different disorders lol 😂😂. Two different Dr. My son is just in a phase were he wants to be bad and act out, but only with his mother and teachers never with me
@@dmetrious7882 Yeah... because you should definitely take your advice and definitely not a trained medical doctor with over 10 years of schooling + years of experience. lol, get a grip on reality.
@fscottfitzgerald115 just telling you my experience with this. Don't take it personal
wow doc thank you for this
I have diabetic neuropathy. and this really works
Where do you get it?
Thank u Dr , im a mdd patient , today i went to my Psychiatrist,it was for the second time seeing him ,im on prolax capsule,last month he increase my dosage to 40 mg in the morning & at night im taking promethazine 25mg. But still im still have horrible headache & struggle to sleep sometimes, so he said it's migraine which i waa told like 7 years ago ,
Today the dosage of Prolax was increased again to 60 mg in the morning & 50 mg of Promethazine & he also gave me the Prescription for Clonidine 0,025 mg so it will be a repeat for six months,i believe it will help with those horrible migraine & insomnia.
Thank u for this information u are giving us ,much appreciated,🙏
Thank you.. this information helps
It was originally a nasal decongestant drug, that had a side effect of lowering BP. It can cause hallucinations in some people.
Thanks for the info! My psychiatrist gave very little details. Autism/anxiety/depression. I am not sure if it is helping. I get anxious about risks, etc. This video gave me some peace of mind. I appreciate the amount of info. Thanks.
Did it work for you? My daughter just started for autism/ sleeping aid
Hi Magda, I still question if it is helping me myself. There are a lot of stressful, situational life factors I’m gripping with at the moment so it’s hard to know what’s what. I take a relatively low dose of 0.01mg Clonidine HCL every night (usually around midnight because I’m a night owl). If I’m having a particularly rough day, I’m encouraged to take half in the morning/afternoon too. It is my first time using medicine and going to a psychologist. My experience has been so-so. I wish he would explain more and take more life into account. Those appointments are quick! I wish you well in your endeavors.
@@Jedindy any updates so far? Gawd damn just got onto this yesterday within 20 mins I was dragging my butt to bed LMFAO so dizzy!! the interesting thing is I woke up feeling really good I don't remember the last time I felt this good. However, I just don't know how this will make me productive I'm already starting to question it, and you aint lying about those quick appointments ... smdh
@@Jedindy fuck you in the name of the name of the president of the United States of America Donald John Trump!
I use Clonidine for hypertension along with another drug, I've noticed a big drop in my need for sugar since being on it for nearly 5 years now.
Extremely informative.
Than you very much doctor.
It brings down my critically high blood pressure but makes me feel drugged all day long. Thank you, Doctor.(added) American drug prices are insane, Clonidine costs about $6 for a box of 100 here in Thailand and the doctor's receptionist gives it to you along with whatever else the doctor prescribes. Oh, and it's walk-in, you do not need an appointment.
I have super high BP too. So you feel dizzy? How high is your critically high because mine is really realllly high....
@@ExecutivePenStylus I get a throbbing in my head when my BP gets really high like 157/125 but Clonidine controls it very well. I dislike the side effects but taking it at bedtime minimizes them. My reading this morning was 120/76 but that's with Clonidine, Lisinopril, and a diuretic. I am not overweight and have been checked for blockages, and finally, one doctor told me it was related to my Type A behavior, which is a polite way of calling it psychological in origin. No one else in my family has hypertension. Good luck to you, and don't neglect it or allow yourself to be tempted not to take your meds.
@@robinsattahip2376 yeah, the doc says i'm fucking crazy..which i am because i've been trying to get my BP down for 3 months now....and still don't know why its so high. Mine gets much higher than yours, when i get manic and freak out because i see it so high its been above 175/100... but usually its about 160/95 something like that. but at home or in morning its around 125-130/80....
I take alomdipine/arvastatin or something like that... but I also got this, but I was goin to actually use it for my ADD... honestly my BP goes down when i take a xanax. so really it might be that i'm just bat shit crazy... my kidney markers seem fine but they stil suggest doing some 4d scan. even tho we already did a CT and it looked fine....
But i guess i need to find out whats wrong....... now one thing on my blood work showed up is a very low Testosterone level...extremely low. I'm going to guess that has something to do with it.
The side effects you get is your like dizzy but not dizzy, kind of like feeling you drank a few beers but without the good feeling? thats how i feel everyday... i wake up, and 2 hours in feels like i drank 3 beers but i'm sober...nobody can figure it out.
@@ExecutivePenStylus Testosterone will exacerbate your aggressive behavior and might make your bp worse. I hope your doctor didn't use the word crazy. Drinking a large amount of any liquid including beer will increase your bp especially if you're not on a diuretic.
0.15 a day saved my son from Tourette Syndrome - Tics and I take it for anxiety OCD and seems like it’s working.
This gentleman is like an old, bald Jordan Peterson. Its scary uncanny. Very informative video though.
Just found you and love your advise, I also left a comment on how much clonidine I take for my disease. Would love to ask you a couple questions,
Sir, you are an encyclopedia haha. God bless
It's OTC in my country. I take it for endometriosis medication-induced hot flushes. I happen to be on Concerta as well.
I find it fickle in terms of its efficacy. It does nothing for migraines, IBS, RLS, ADHD or the occasional tardive dyskinesia/akathisia I experience when increasing the dose of my TCA antidepressant. I envy people who feel its sedating effects, amongst its other benefits.
Which country?
I enjoy the word fickle
@@joeeastwood3795 I enjoy the Word.
Can you please make a video about guanfacine?
I DO get the feeling of passing out...but Clonidine is very effective.🇨🇦
I feel like that if I get up to quick, litterally have to hold unto the wall.
Thank you, I wish my physicians had as much knowledge as you. Unfortunately they are 110% incompetent like most Doctors.
Your so smart
Started clonidine today for hot flashes I'm praying it works
So, it worked? 🤔
Please do a video on clobazam doctor
Can you do an updated vid about covid-19? Hope this does not sound offensive but I imagine you have been a doc for a long time and may have some valuable insight as to how bad this can get or what the global prognosis may be.
I've been on the clonodine patch for 3 months and two other blood pressure meds. i would like to get off clonodine and got the okay with caution from my cardiologist, with a warning that my blood pressure may increase. Sure enough, it did, i had to put the patch back on. i'm worried that i may not get off of it. Something that i read on the Mayo clinic website said something about a hormone released when you get off it that may raise your blood pressure. i don't like wearing it because it decreases my alertness. i have to override the side effects because otherwise i find myself too detached. my friends say i am different. by the way my blood pressure is way down for the past three months.
Just took 3 5yo clonidines. Hope I can get my homework done with this.
Clonidine won't help with homework unless you are hyperactive, or taking a stimulant.
It's good for sleeping, but it's not a dreamy sensation. You feel tired and fatigued, and pass out from low blood pressure!
@Eddie Lynch you’re stupid. It’s used to treat adhd and prescribed to help some people focus dummy.
My doctor prescribed me this stuff despite not having high BP but for anxiety and sleep. It did help sleep but didnt see much for anxiety. He also put me on lexapro and today was my first dose. We'll see how it goes.
How are you doing? I start Effexor this week
@@JessyLynnKittredge Pretty good, I did not continue taking the clonidine and looking to get off lexapro now.
@@JessyLynnKittredge how is the efexor?
@@lifesshorttt I never took it. I just waited it out and eventually my body adjusted. ❤️
Mate I was on Lexapro for a while, the withdrawals it does to your body when you try and get off it is terrible. If you want something that's off label and non addictive ask your doctor for amyltriptyline. Take it on low doses ( between 25mg and 50mg) if you take more than that it's sedating effects will lessen and it will act more like a anti depressant.
Excellent overview, very thorough and easy to follow. I'm wondering if it raises blood glucose levels? I've started taking it for ADHD, but I'm also prediabetic. I was getting my fasting blood sugars under control then started taking the clonidine. Now my fasting blood sugars are 10-15 mg/dL higher than they've been running previously. It seems some studies show it does raise blood sugar and others say it lowers them. As an aside, I like clonidine at night, I have insomnia too and it's helped.
Unfortunately most doctors haven't a clue on how to treat pre-diabetes. I'd recommend keto diet before it's too late.
Can u plz do an episode on Intuniv as well
Cheers
Dang. 27 minutes to talk about Clonidine. I couldn't stay awake.
I have resistant hypertension and RLS and am on 3 medications to control these conditions. Clonidine sounds too good to be true. I wonder if I can use it to treat both. Plan on discussing this with my doctor.
I use it for sleep.
Starting it today for anxiety, insomnia, and adhd. I want to get off of the hydroxyzine I’m taking for insomnia, fingers crossed that it works 😬
Update: I had to stop taking it bc my blood pressure dropped really low and I couldn't change positions with without severe dizziness and nausea. My doctor is recommending I switch to guanethidine and see if I have a better reaction :)
Has it worked for your anxiety?
What was the milligram you were taking when it gave you the dizzy side effects and dropped your blood pressure really low? I was just prescribed a .1 mg tablet. I’m trying it for anxiety.
@@Batya-Grace I was also on .1. However, my blood pressure is low to begin with. I'm usually around 100/80. Most people have higher blood pressure to begin with so the side effects aren't as bad.
I hope it works for you
I think u meant guanfacine
Hydroxyzine is horrendous for insomnia if your intention is to sleep for only 8-10 hours and not 72 hours.
Clonidine saved my life.
In what way?
This caused transient global amnesia type symptoms in my husband.
I just started using catapres for adhd and my headaches are bad.
Starting this tonight for adult ADHD in conjunction with Vyvanse. Vyvanse has been life changing but unfortunately even on a relatively high dose it doesn’t last the day.
If this doesn’t work I’ll likely change to a different drug all together. Here’s hoping 🤞
How is it going for you? I just stared a week ago and I have the worst headache
I had constipation and then it went away. No idea why.
@@StevieCooper does it help with ADHD? The clonidine?
@@StevieCooper did it help you ADHD?
Is it dangerous to take mirtazapine and clonidine together?
It is for OCD? To, please 🥺
It is absolutely important that anyone who is on any of these drugs absolutely makes it a point to never ever eat food at all! Yes it is good to quit eating food completely on these drugs to prevent desensitization, and yes this mean that this is substitute for eat food, and all that you do is drink water only!
Great video:)
Could it be taken along with Ativan?
Also,could it be used to help with Ativan withdrawal?
I am pretty sure. I take this with my ambien at night time to help me sleep. It just depends the person honestly. I think that it's ok to take it with Ativan AND it's ok for the Ativan withdrawal. I never took it that way I just heard of people who had good luck with it. But I would talk to your doctor more on it honestly.
It is they gave it to me at the hospital one time like a 30 pill bottle lol but I was in there for opiate withdrawal but my dumbass got out and did some xans and withdrew from that so it’s benzo too and I took clonidine and that shit helps like a mf and bental is good af for your stomach brody
I take it with ativan 1mg a day and 4mg of clonazepam/klonopin a day on top of it purely for panic and anxiety. Nothing else works. Doses this high and combinations like this are rare though.
Will the erectile dysfunction go away?? I've been on this for 11 days and this side effect is very much a problem for me.
God damn this drug helps everything
yes it does.I took one and won the lottery and got a date with a beutiful woman the same day.The next day i did not take one and i lost the money and the girl.
It helped me get off the viagra...
1st day on extended release..... I feel slow, brain fog, tired. Strange thing is I slept terrible .I don't get it.

Hi doc, I've been on Adderall for years without a lot of issues, but I've had anxiety my whole life. Recently, talked to my psychiatrist and we have added Intuniv (guanfacine) to my Adderall. It has been life changing! Can you do a video on guanfacine? I realize it's probably similar to clonidine but seems like it is slightly different. Thanks
Can it be taken as needed e.g. for anxiety? I wish there was discussion on this point and more on the realistic risks of bp fluctuating etc after stopping.
Yes it can, I am prescribed it for this very reason and take it as needed. It works for me which is surprising since I was used to other medications like Xanax. It's a MUCH safer alternative to drugs like benzos (Xanax, Valium, ect)
@@dogcat2994 Any side effects? Sleepiness? Fatigue?
@@Sears111 some dry mouth (only within first two hours of taking it) and sleepiness, but sleepiness improved over short period of time.

I was just prescribed this for adhd and now I’m scared to take it
If you read the history about it it is even scarier. My good friend in high school was addicted to it because they gave it to him to lose weight in like 7th grade. So fucked
Same I took it for first time last night for adhd and I literally slept 15 hours and before that I haven’t went to bed before 4 am for months
Don’t take it. I used the patch for 7 days, I just took the damn patch off cuz the last three days it has knocked me out of energy and made me a nervous wreck.
@@maryt.9253 I’m on strattera now, it works way better, clonidine made my life worse for sure
Oh God i just took it for the first time tonight. Praying for no side effects
What would cause bp to go way down unexpectedly? *No withdrawal of the med.
At one point, my 20+yr history of high BP resolved to borderline high for 5 straight months (had to lower the clonidine to max of .75 of 0.1mg day.) Stress of a new job & my hypertension shot way up again.
Clonidine is still the best bp med for me, imo, but my Dr doesn't like it - I heard that you don't particularly like it either. Is there one particular reason? Thank you
Wellnowdoctor I’m on 0.1 ml once morning and night . I was scared to take this but my Dr said most of the side affects… actually happen to men more. I’m 54 and I think I’m on a low dose. Is this true .. the lower your dose if the less side affects with clonidine?
I'm thinking about taking this just because sometimes I blush extremely when talking to a group of people. Would that be recommended? and would it be okay just to take it on those days I know I'll have a presentation or meeting?
I have taken clonidine since 1982. I take 0.2mg 3x a day, but during the day I split the pills in half because it makes me sleepy, it also can give me dry mouth. So have a class of water handy. My pain doctor tried giving me Nortriptyline and it started giving me panic attacks and according to this guy the clonidine doesn't mix with the tricyclic family of drugs like the Nortriptyline or Amitriptyline.
There are beta blockers like propranolol that might help more in this case
@@MountainFisher you’ve take this since 82 man that’s crazy
@@krypton7807 Freaking works and is cheap and according to my cardiologist I have no blockages and he was amazed considering I'm 70 and overweight by 20 lbs. One of its little known side effects is that it makes your arteries a little slippery.
I have extremely high blood pressure. I have been taking clonodine for years. I take .3ml three times daily. I need a higher dose. Without it I have severe shortness of breath and feel terrible. Never stop taking cold turkey, you will have the worst withdrawl in your life.

I am on clonidine patch, 0.2 patch plus I take clonidine pills throughout the day for my disease, (fibrosis mediastinitus) plus other meds to try to ease my disease I have which sucks.... I will be going on 0.3 patch soon. Clonidine is a life saver for me so far, it's my breakfast lunch and dinner. No joking. Yeah it has side effects, I have severe dry eyes, thinning hair, tired sometimes ECT.... but it does help my high blood pressure with my disease. It's not 100%, but works pretty good. I have spikes sometimes that goes to 210/110 and all over board. I don't have regular high blood pressure. It's from my disease I have., I have fibrosis mediastinitus, I think I spelled it wrong...
What disease ? Finding the sweet spot with this drug can minimize the side effects and maximize the desired effect. Strict Keto diet for several months really helped me get rid of most meds over time!
@@ricktomlinson5481 hello, I have fibrosis mediastinitis, it's sorta like histoplasmosis, there is not much I can do. Just trying to ease what I have that goes with it. Breathing on one lung since around 19, I am now 58. I use to work hard up until 10 years ago. Can't do much now, my blood pressure spikes 200/110 sometimes give or take. It's all over the wall. The disease causes scar tissue inside all around the heart, lungs ECT. Just started in heart. I had a mild heart attack in October 2021. It was a small artery, catheter but no stent. I get around walking, not on oxygen, can't run or walk fast or do physical work, but limited some days, have to lay down quite often, biggest thing is blood pressure. I have to keep trying to keep it down....clonidine is a life saver for me. If I did not have this out of control blood pressure, I would be 70 percent good. I could do alot more. I pretty much eat it like candy through the day and it somewhat controls it to a point for me to get around, certain days ECT. I live minute to minute hour to hour. Limited on eating, amount, foods, cause it effects digestive system also, I have to take things slow....even getting up in morning, Not knowing if it's going to spike......it really sucks, but I am thankful I am still walking and not on oxygen. Thanks so much for your concern......
Can't live without it. The only medication that makes me feel like I can function.
@@sl8605 I know it's amazing that we have to depend on medication. But you're right I can't live without it either that's for sure. And I know it's pretty safe.

But I think I didn't get sick like that when I wasn't tapering I was also on other medications with it so I don't know how it is just that alone ya know?? Are you on it right now?? I only use it as needed right now. But like I said, it's only used at night with my ambien I also am on methadone too now.
Clonidine makes me dizzy. Did this happen to anyone? Does it go away?
I’ve been on it a month and still feel that way
Most doctors recommend it to be taken at night at least an hour before bed if I'm not mistaking. You should check with yours to be safe.
I still have dizziness been on it for over a year
for those stupid intros I'm gonna start giving automatic negatives. Count yourself and then subtract
Very cheap drug and it works
Was prescribed for heroin withdrawals hopefully it works starting tomorrow 😞
Did it help you??
@@siobhanolsen8689It really works in surpressing withdrawal symptoms. Day 1 took 5 through out the day and just relaxed and ate lightly. Day 2 took 4 and took a half hour walk, ate felt better. By day 3 felt way better took 3, was able to take two half hour walks, ate and felt way better. By day 4-6 took 2, felt great. By day 7 and on, still taking 1x daily. I've been fentanyl/heroin free over 7months. I only take clonidine no Suboxone, methadone or vivitral. It really does work, completely worth a try.
Clonidine is amazing! It’s the🇨🇭Swiss Army knife of pharmaceuticals! 😉
