Here's a link to a post written by a psychiatrist explaining Clonidine's contradictory dual-actions:

Unfortunately Tenex isn't available in Australia. I wonder what else I can try using for sleep. Are you aware if Lyrica produces a rebound effect akin to benzodiazepines? (I believed I noticed a similar phenomenon with Neurontin, which also produced apathy, flatness and depression in me).

Otherwise, I suppose there's Klonopin, but it would take some convincing of my doctor on my part, and that also runs the risk of inducing depression, correct?
