    He was not on Clonidine. He was on clonazepam, an altogether different medication.

     

    Clonazepam is a benzo, same group of drugs as valium and atarax. It is highly addictive and can cause withdrawal symptoms if abruptly stopped.

     

    OP, high BP and headache are is indeed one of the symptoms of clonazepam withdrawal. So are: insomnia, tremors, dizziness,  anxiety, GI upset etc.

     

    Withdrawal effects can be life threatening.  You need to taper off, not stop abruptly, and are strongly advised to do so under medical supervision.

     

    There are injectable medications that can be given to quickly lower BP but they have their risks and probably nto indicated in your case, especially since it is only the systolic BP that s elevated. More likley doctor would give a low dose of diazepam (valium) and put you on a gradually tapered dose of it. Diazepam is the preferrred drug for weaning off benzos because it has a long half life.

     

    Clonidine is a BP med with strong sedative effects that brings down BP quickly, I meant what I wrote.
