> I've read that Clonidine is a selective alpha-2 agonist that's capable of both suppressing and stimulating noradrenaline release at different doses.

This is interesting. Would you be able to recommend a source of information on this?

Clonidine is depressogenic - even in people who have no history of mental illness. I would sooner choose guanfacine (Tenex) as a sympatholytic. It works in a similar fashion, but I don't think depression is as much of a problem with it.
