clonidine: Clonidine along with Diovan brought my blood pressure under control. The side effects that are so annoying for me are extreme dry mouth and constipation. So, I chew gum, gargle and brush my teeth with a product for dry mouth, and I am using Mag 07 for the constipation. I dislike the side effects but I am so glad my blood pressure is under control.

Review by Female age 58:

clonidine: I took this medicine for one week. It caused extremely blurry vision, tired all the time, jittery feeling and extremely dry mouth problem. Called my doctor and was taken off the medicine immediately. The only good thing I have to say is that it did lower my blood pressure.

Review by FUSHI:

clonidine: My heart beat is well below 60 when I wake up. I have had fainting spells. When I tried to do without it my blood pressure went through the roof like 183/110.

clonidine: I just want to say that this is the best medicine because if it were not for clonidine I wouldn't be here.

clonidine: I've taken this medicine since January 2010. It controls one part of my blood pressure but not the lower number. When taken with Cozaar both are under control. However, recently I have been having problems with dizziness and confusion. One day I forgot to take my medicines, left my pill box at home and found I had NO confusion that day or dizziness. My concern is that I am developing a tolerance to these medicines which has happened in the past for me. It is good for controlling blood pressure but these new side effects are scarring me.

clonidine: This medicine is not reducing my diastolic pressure as I feel it should. It is still averaging over 100.

clonidine: Works well for blood pressure but a side effect I experience is that it makes me very short tempered. I could become a middle linebacker.

Review by chanchee:

clonidine: After being on 17 different blood pressure medicines tekturna and clonidine have it under control. The only side effect is being tired.

clonidine: It worked great in conjunction with Lotrel. It just REALLY makes me sleepy! Do not take it if you are going to be driving.

clonidine: Clonidine may help with blood pressure, but the drug has severe side effects for me. These include terrible dizziness, joint and hip pain that makes it difficult to walk without pain. Thirty hours off the medicine and the pain is gone and the dizziness is much better. Perhaps I am allergic to the medication.

clonidine: It worked great to lower my blood pressure, but I was extremely dizzy, awful dry mouth and a very low heart rate [41] so my doctor took me off clonidine right away.

Review by Anonymous:

clonidine: This med is effective at reducing high blood pressure quickly however the side effects are extremely bad. This is not the type of medicine you would want to use on a regular basis to manage high blood pressure. I became so lightheaded and dizzy it was difficult to function normally at work not to mention the dry mouth and constipation. Use this for a spike then maintain blood pressure levels with another medication with fewer side effects.
