Looking for advice on getting off clonidine

Embarrassing subject, but has anyone here experienced loss of libido due to clonodine?

I know exactly what you are talking about!!! I also have those 200 level blood pressures.....and I also take hydroxyzine. Yes, it caused me headaches as well. Then when the doctors asked if I was using it and I said "I try too...." They get super irritated with me. I'm not a weird religious fanatic....but I did call one of those prayer lines before a doc appointment & asked them to pray for my blood pressure issue & I did get a very good BP the next day!! However, it doesn't last😥. A few years back I tried another med that had a combination of 3 BP meds combined and it worked rely well for about 1 month. And then I was having debilitating side effects. It turned out to be an allergy to the calcium channel blocker. If I ever get this figured out I will come back and let you know. Back when I was able to exercise.....my BP's did improve. But I am at the point where it is almost impossible to get on my bike due to some new symptoms that I'm afraid are due to heart failure. I live in the Baltimore area and for some reason doctors around here do not tell you...."yes, you have heart failure...." They just don't tell you what they're thinking about your condition.

I got off of clonidine because of a doctor's fault (gave me a higher dose and almost OD on it) I mostly use supplements as I do not trust doctors much anymore with medicine. I use melatonin along with lavender, a weighted blanket, rain (or any type of noise works there just can't be talking for me), and also a heating pad. I take a supplement called RestEz and SleepEssence. Both help me a lot and I have to take it at least 2 hours before bedtime just like I did with clonidine. I actually sleep a lot more than what I did on clonidine.

I switched to hydroxizine 25-50 mg depending on anxiety levels/ insomni

Also, in my case clonidine was sort of a last resort.... There are many other classes of blood pressure meds that they usually try first.

I am on clonidine and I am soooo tired from this med!!! I have to take a nap minutes after taking it. So....yes that does affect my sleep patterns. What other meds has your doctor tried? In my case nothing else is working.
