"After my surgery, I couldn't sleep for days because of the swelling and bruising on my back and lower abdomen. Clonidine relieved the pain almost instantly and gave me the best sleep I ever had. I didn't experience any side effects aside from some mild euphoria and lower blood pressure."

"Long-time back pain sufferer. It's absolutely incredible how good this medication I am taking for hypertension is, that not only reduces pain and hypertension, but anxiety too! Highly, highly recommend! If you have trouble going to sleep because of anxiety or pain, try it even at a reduced dosage."

"I have found it to be very effective in reducing my chronic pain. I have pain daily that includes joint and muscle pain, plus nerve pain in my lower legs, arms, and hands from swelling caused by poor circulation. Clonidine reduces the swelling! The tablet form was prescribed to help me sleep, which it does, but I'm getting these side benefits too! It also seems to improve my mood. I have chronic depression. The original dosage was 0.1 mg. I only have to take 1/4 of that tablet, the full 0.1 mg is way too much for me."
