Clonidine for anxiety?

My therapist just prescribed me a small dose of Clonidine to take at bedtime. It has many different benefits, mainly to help people with their high blood pressure. But I don't have that. It was prescribed to me to help treat my anxiety. I have depersonalization disorder to the extreme. I am on lamictal, zoloft, and now clonidine combined. Anybody on Clonidine to help with their anxiety?

How is it working? My new psych doctor wants me to try it. I’m already on BP meds so I’m scared it will lower my BP too much.
