Question about Clonidine ER for sleep?

Question

Asked for Male, 29 Years

I have a question about Clonidine ER for sleep: Does the sleep benefit of Clonidine ER come mainly from its sedative effect? If a person develops tolerance to the sedation over time, does it still continue to help with sleep? For patients who develop tolerance to the sedation but still sleep better, how is Clonidine ER helping their sleep? Or does Clonidine ER help with sleep only until the patient develops tolerance to its sedative effect?

Hi, "Clonidine ER can make people sleepy and is sometimes used off-label to help with sleep in certain situations, but it is not primarily a sleeping pill. Whether it is appropriate depends on your medical history, blood pressure, other medications, and the cause of your sleep problem." Consult online for treatment
