What is Clonidine?

Clonidine is a medication originally developed to treat high blood pressure, but it's now widely prescribed for a range of conditions including ADHD, anxiety, hot flashes, and opioid withdrawal support. It works by acting on receptors in the brain that calm the nervous system, reducing the signals that drive elevated blood pressure, racing thoughts, and overactivation. Depending on your diagnosis, it may be taken once or multiple times daily, or worn as a weekly patch.

Nervous system calming

Activates alpha-2 receptors in the brain that reduce the release of norepinephrine, quieting the overactive stress signals that drive high blood pressure and anxiety.

Versatile clinical use

Originally a blood pressure drug, Clonidine is now used across multiple conditions—ADHD, sleep difficulties, hot flashes, and withdrawal symptoms—due to its broad calming effects.

Smooth, sustained control

Available in tablet or patch form, it provides consistent symptom management throughout the day, with the patch offering up to 7 days of steady release.
