Dizziness is a common side effect with clonidine. If it becomes bothersome check with your doctor.

Yeah I am also having some dizziness. Just take it nice n slow when u get up. Also sometimes dizzy when I get out of a hot bath. The baths do help though. I agree that u should try to drink if at all possible. Dehydration can make the dizziness worse. Gatorade worked for me. Hang in there.

Are you able to get fluids down?  Dizziness can be common with this but if it doesnt stop you need to see your doctor.

Congrats on 3 days!!

Maybe see if your doctor can prescribe you some Phenegren. It is for nausea and vomiting. It also makes you drowsy, which may help you get more sleep. It is also non-addictive. I hope you feel better soon :)

Hi, yes, I had that happen. Are you eating anything? Even soup or broth, crackers, toast. Are you staying hydrated? I found I have that happen if I haven't eaten or had enough fluids.
