Clonidine...anyyone on it?

Anyone taking Clonidine to lower BP?

I was on it for my BP as well as opioid induced abdominal pain. I got off bc of the crazy BP spikes I had in between doses. I was told by my pharmacist that when you stop taking it it can cause crazy spikes like that which only triggered my anxiety so I switched to losartan & haven’t had any issues since.
