In reply to Clonidine as an antidepressant?, posted by TSA West on March 16, 2002, at 22:02:55

I dont believe clonidine has any antidepressant qualities to it whatsoever. I was on clonidine for a few days when I was in the hospital and all it did was knock me out, make me super drowsy and make me wanna sleep all the time. Hardly any antidepressant.
Clonidine is supposed to have some uses for agitation or Attention Deficit Disorder type problems. Im skeptical it has ANY uses whatsoever in treating any kind of mental illness.
