Will this go away after a while ? Because I've slept off the dizziness but I'm still lightheaded.

Actually they are commonly used to help treat addiction. Well more to help with some of the withdrawal symptoms. Again some like sweating, chills, restlessness, anxiety, etc, but not all.

Doctors kill people all the time. No wonder people can't stand the medical field. They lie cheat and steal a persons health away from them.

Re: T (# 16) 
I can relate to feeling completely alone. I wish I could do something to help because I know how much pain you're feeling. Don't give up. She can't force you to move out. Get into a job and find an apartment or rent a room from someone. Your life will change soon. Don't give up. I'm praying for you.

Technically, taking anything above and beyond what is prescribed to you is considered an overdose. Therefore, if you find yourself or another patient having to take more, it should be contingent upon the prescribing doctor's approval (for your own safety).
Based on data from the MayoClinic, the usual recommended dose of Clonidine for adults and children vary depending on what ailment you're prescribed it for (i.e. ADHD or high blood pressure).
For adults taking Clonidine ER for hypertension, the usual dose is 0.17 to 0.52 mg per day.
For adults taking Clonidine IR for hypertension, the usual dose is 0.2 mg to 0.6 mg per day, divided and given two times daily.
For teenagers and children 6 years of age and older prescribed Clonidine for ADHD: Starting dose of 0.1 milligram (mg) once a day, given at bedtime / Dosage may be increased at the doctor's discretion.
Source: "Clonidine (Oral Route)". Mayoclinic.org. Web. March 1st, 2017
NOTE: In the event of a serious overdose, visiting a local emergency room may be ideal. You can also call the American Association of Poison Control Centers (who are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week) at 1-800-222-1222. This organization is said to support 55 poison centers from around the nation in efforts to prevent and treat poison exposures.
Hope this helps!

No blurred vision and dizziness major dehydration actually she's probably be dehydrated. For at least 24hrs she needs to drink Gatorade, not water (way too much water can cancel out all electrolytes and that can be fatal). I'm no doctor though.

I am prescribed clonidine and I only take 1 .1mg a day before I go to bed and it doesn't work. Should I ask my doctor to up the dosage?

But you should be completely fine. I've been reading about overdoeses on clonidine and you'd have to take much more than that. I was actually planning to down the bottle maybe a little less than that.

I think I got my answer. I was just prescribed colonizing 0.1 msgs and it say two a day. Last time I was on this medication was years ago and n rehab. It was given with alternate doses of phenobarbital. They had to discontinue the clonidine after first day because my bloodbpressure bottomed out so am a little concerned about how will I know that there is the same thing happening?

Seriously? Clonidine is not a drug of abuse, nor does it have any recreational value. At all. Perhaps you should refrain from making random remarks on a topic about which you clearly know nothing.

Yeah, it doent hurt. But i seriosy hope you mean 0.1 not 1.1, that would be 11 times the starter dose. It normally only goes up to 0.6 in severe cases.
