Hello,

You are experiencing side effects of Clonidine that you have been taking. Clonidine should be swallowed whole with water & not crushed or chewed. You should inform the treating doctor about the side effects. If you are prescribed Clonidine for hypertension, your doctor can replace it with any other medicine that suits you better. You can take Acetaminophn (tylenol) for headache & vitamin E rich food or Vit E supplement for dryness of mouth. Take home made nutritious food & adequate rest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
