Hi, weight gain is not listed as a side effect that has ever been reported. I suppose it could be possible but as the first response suggested, the weight gain is probably down to another cause.
None of my friends have had much of a problem with weight gain, most of them have been on CLONIDINE for many years now? It's a matter if you are taking other drugs at the same time though???
