DUE TO A GLITCH IN BLOGGER, MY POSTS DO NOT ALWAYS POST IN ORDER BECAUSE THEY POST USING THE TIME THAT I STARTED THE INITIAL DRAFT. I DO MY BEST TO CORRECT THIS WHENEVER POSSIBLE, HOWEVER SOME SLIP BY, SO PLEASE REMEMBER TO READ THE TITLES OF MORE THAN JUST THE MOST RECENT POST IF YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS ANYTHING.

Clonidine patch

I received my first box of clonidine patches today. I opened the box to find 4 clonidine 0.3mg/24hr patches and 4 foam overlays (personally, I prefer occlusive dressings, but these work alright).

I placed roughly a third of a patch out of an abundance of caution and in seven days, I'll use the roughly 2/3 patch, then go to full patches.

When I started the pills, I had very little side effects, but I'm experiencing significantly more sedation than previously. Despite a reasonable amount of familiarity with this chemical, I'm a little freaked out.

Wish me luck...
