"I have found it to be very effective in reducing my chronic pain. I have pain daily that includes joint and muscle pain, plus nerve pain in my lower legs, arms, and hands from swelling caused by poor circulation - Clonidine reduces the swelling! The tablet form was prescribed to help me sleep, which it does, but I'm getting these side benefits too! It also seems to improve my mood - I have chronic depression. The original dosage was .1 mg. I only have to take 1/4 of that tablet, the full .1mg is way too much for me."
