"I took 3 mg total over 3 days. Side effects started immediately. By day 3, I couldn’t understand speech, I was having trouble with walking, breathing, and I was extremely sleepy and very confused. My vision was changed. I have constant headaches. That was in 2019. It is now 2022. With the assistance of a neurologist, I manage symptoms but will be fighting this my whole life. I had to increase my level of care to a neurologist, out of state, at a specialty center. I wish that I had never taken it. Obviously, my problems are unique, and others will be successful in taking it."

"Been on it a week. NOT lowering my blood pressure. ER, which I did not know when I got it. Went to 2 mg. Still 165 in the morning. Was taking 12.5 amitriptyline, and I see it decreases the effects of Tenex. Have tried fosinopril, amlodipine, etc. No luck. I have Chinese pills that have clonidine, and they come from Hong Kong. Take 30 days, but they work with NO side effects. This Tenex causes me dry mouth, constipation, and extreme tiredness. I go back to bed at noon, then only feel normal after 2 pm."

"This medication makes me feel very weak, no matter what time of the day I take it. I would not recommend it for anxiety, seeing as you have to take it every day in order for it to lower blood pressure and make stressful situations more bearable instead of taking it as needed."

"Works fantastic for high blood pressure. Almost made it too low, but it's stabilized now. I've tried three different high blood pressure medicines from three different drug classes, and none work as well as Tenex. The worst side effect I had was dry mouth, but that goes away after a week or two, so don't quit the drug over that."
