Answers:
Don't take clonidine to help you sleep. It's designed to lower your blood pressure which is something you really shouldn't be messing around with just in the hopes of eliciting drowsiness as a side effect. If you need medication for sleep, see your doctor to get your own prescription - there are many safe, non-habit forming medications available. If you aren't up to visiting the doctor, get some benadryl over the counter. It causes drowsiness much more reliably than clonidine and its primary antihistamine effect is completely benign.
