"clonidine is excellent for performance and social anxiety. but i think its crucial to get the dosage just right for your body weight &amp; metabolism, so that one doesn&#039;t get unnecessarily sedated or have dry mouth. i only use clonidine every now &amp; a blue moon  (i.e., rarely), often before a situation or event where i&#039;ll need extraordinary patience. i take just 0.1 mg. for this purpose. it prevents nervous tremors of the hand, restlessness and sweating."
