A member asked:

Can overdosing on clonidine kill you with blood pressure changes?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Possible: Clonidine over dose can cause very low blood pressure and heart rate. If very low blood pressure persists and is not treated in a timely manner it can lead to shock and death.
