Clonidine for Potentiating other medications

We take ADHD meds,opiates and benzos. Initially started using Clonidine to boost effects of our meds(which they do). Between 10-20 150mg tabs daily. We just swapped doctors to a prescriber who is going to taper us off. Interested whether anyone else initially began using Clonidine for the same reason…..🤔??
