Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.

Please, how low do your blood pressures get? If they become too low after taking medications, then the dosages may need adjustments as these are more suggestive of low blood pressure than inherent side effects of clonidine.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to request for more information.
