Dear C. Elkins -- I just looked in the PDR product labeling for clonidine, and found no reports of seizures. Out of curiousity, why did they give you clonidine, an antihypertensive, for surgery? And what kind of surgery did you have? Also, could it have been a drug associated with surgery such as anesthesia or antibiotics that caused the seizure?
