I was prescribed clonidine FOR high blood pressure. I also take clonazepam and Pristiq (or effexor in a few days!). Anyways, I liked taking it at bedtime-it made me relaxed and I fell asleep very comfortably. I did notice a reduction in my anxiety also. BUT, I was taking clonazepam. So maybe the clonidine upped the amount of clonazepam in my system. I had one pdoc want to switch me to clonidine for panic, but I told him no. I've been on clonazepam for ten years now-I'm too chicken lol!

If it's not working for your anxiety, you need to tell the doc. Not every pill works the same for everyone. SSRIs are supposed to help. Your doc needs to prescribe you something else. Take care : )
