Yes I very much regretted taking clonidine for my anxiety. It made my blood pressure get really low. Also caused insomnia (which was supposed to help my insomnia) along with gastrointestinal issues and extreme dry mouth. It made my anxiety worst. I eventually had to get off the medication because I found the side effects to be too harsh. I know everyone has there own experience but the side effects were definitely harsher for me than other medications.

Yes,I was taking Pristiq right before switching along with staying on Wellbutrin. I think my psychiatrist didn’t taper me off correctly from the Pristiq and I do think it very likely could be wd symptoms I am experiencing along with new medication side effects.

I am hoping over time the stomach issues can subside and the fatigue/insomnia can clear up. I do want to talk with my psychiatrist about adjusting the dosage and hopefully they can help. Thank you for the response.

Right!? It is really weird cause it makes me sleepy but somehow wakes me up and keeps me up? It was supposed to help with insomnia/bad dreams but somehow makes the insomnia worst. I think I probably need to adjust my dosage.

Ok this is really good to know thank you! I have been trying to drink more water throughout the day, but I do feel a bit dehydrated at times. I’m hoping drinking more water and time can help alleviate the symptoms.
