Based on the Merck Manual Online, benzodiazepines are antianxiety drugs (more to antipsychotics) whereas clonidine is used in treatment of hypertension. Hence they're not the same. Please post a comment if anyone thinks I'm wrong , thanks. [Reference: http://www.merck.com/mmhe/sec03/ch023/ch023c.html]

Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Clonidine and clonidine HCl are technically the same thing. Clonidine is the active ingredient, while clonidine HCl refers to the specific salt form of the medication. So, yes, they're essentially two peas in a pod.

Evidently if you drink alcohol it inhibits the effects of clonidine, meaning it would be the same thing as if you did not take your clonidine pill. If you have been taking clonidine for a long time then you could have higher blood pressure etc.

Yes, Catapres and clonidine refer to the same medication. Catapres is the brand name for clonidine, which is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist primarily used to treat high blood pressure and ADHD. Both terms can be used interchangeably, but "clonidine" is the generic name for the drug.
no
Clonidine is not an ACE inhibitor. It is used for lowering blood pressure and has other uses as well.
