Has anyone tried Clonidine? 
It is supposed too help with autistic issues, sleep problems,
and blood pressure for which all 3 I could use. Typically I try to avoid meds but may give
this a try.

Typically I try to avoid meds but may give this a try.To help control my morbid hypertension, I have been taking near the maximum dosage of Clonidine (1 mg per day for me) for many years. I know nothing about what it might do in relation to "autistic issues" or sleep problems, but I can tell you high dosage can cause dry mouth and constipation. Other than that, the medication is quite safe and is seldom contra-indicated.
