A member asked:

My doctor prescribed clonidine 0.2mg for my blood pressure, and it seems to help, but it makes me very drowsy and lethargic. is that normal, should i talk before bed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common side effect: I would share the info with your doctor, certainly taking it at night might sole the problem, or you may need a less sedating medication.
