YES - clonidine has high incedence of abuse among opiate addicts, who prefer it's sedative and euphoric effects in high doses. I personally know a patient taking 3 mg/day - nearly six times the highest clinical prescription. It leaves her confused, somulent, and unsteady on her feet. She is a former opiate addict.
