Clonidine

[BabyGurl3171]

Sooo, I have come across some 0.1 mg Clonidine.
I have taken up to 3 of them before but not much happended. So my questions:
What would be a good, safe dose?
Is there any better ROA than chewin 'em up and swallowin?
Anyone know the LD50 for these? (I'd look it up but I'm high/exhausted and it took almost 15 mins to write this haha)?
Thanks my favorite, reliable, fellow drug abu...no fellow drug lovers
We don't abuse them, we treat them very kindly lol.
Ok, I shall shut up now.

I just found out that the 0.1 mg tablet is equivalent to 0.087
mg of the free base. Does that mean the rest is fillers/binders?

Clonidine for what? Are you planning on kicking?

the tablets are Clonidine Hydrochloride so I'm guessing the answer is no but I'm not a chemist, why does it matter ?

Clonidine's mainly used as a med for hypertension, lowering blood pressure and heart rate by suppressing adrenaline and noradrenaline production, but it's not a sedative as such. It's effects are all on the unconscious automatic nervous system so nothing you'd be all that aware of, if at all as far as effects go IME, apart from any action it has moderating the effects of whatever it's been prescribed to address?

Daily dose can be anywhere from 0.2mg up to ~1-1.6mg depending on what it's being taken for, higher dose range being typically prescribed for opiate detox to counter the rebound surge of noradrenaline once the opiate's no longer suppressing it as withdrawal kicks in, but expect lots of side effects like feeling faint / actually blacking out if you try and stand up too fast for instance even at middling doses if it turns out you just don't tolerate it all that well, or you don't have a problem with hypertension in the first place so the Clonidine takes your blood pressure too far down.

Why are you using it at all? What you hoping to get from it?

I've been takin 0.3-0.5 mgs and I must be the odd one out bc I actually get a high off it. It usually lasts 2-3 hrs, then I fall asleep. So I *usually* do it a few hours before bedtime.
I won't be doin it anymore bc I'm on a BP med already for my kidneys. I didn't realize before that Clonidine was also used for BP.
