Stay Away From This Drug
UpdatedDo not take this medication for high blood pressure...sure it will work, in less than 3 days it dropped my bp to 90/55, i felt like i was going to die...and when you discontinue it you will rebound like crazy, heart rate will shoot through the roof, blood pressure will rise dramatically and the headaches and head pressure will be severe...I ended up in the emergency room twice trying to get off this medication and still can't get off it without having severe effects. Do a search for the study the nimh did on trying to get off this drug 30 years ago to see what it does to people. Please avoid this drug at any cost.

Sorry about the problem you've had taking Clonidine.
However, it is a very potent medication so yes it can drop your blood pressure dramatically, that's why it's only dosed in fractions of milligrams, unlike most other drugs.
And any blood pressure medication can cause those types of rebound effects if you stop taking it abruptly, not just Clonidine.
Have you consulted your doctor for assistance with stopping it?
In many cases it must be done on a very slow taper. The most recent method has someone gradually lengthen the time between when they take it.
But if you have high blood pressure, you will still need a medication, so the transition should also involve adding a new medication.
