| Add Clonidine review I take Clonidine 0.2mg tablets 3-times daily and they have defiitely decreased my continually high systolic blood pressure reading (was averaging 160-170 to the 130's.However, my pulse has decreased from the mid 50's to average of 46-47 which taps my energy level substantially. Started Clonidine HCL 0.2 MG twice daily, about a week ago. My high BP was very stubborn, even after a change of lifestyle and regular exercise. Clonidine started working immediately and by day two my BP was down tp 118/72. It does have a very calming and relaxing effect, which can be a tad annoying at work. Plus the dry mouth can be bothersome. But all in all I'm a firm believer in the effectiven ... I have been on Clonindine for a couple of months. My experience has been hair loss and it drained the color from my skin. Anyone else have these side effects... and if so when you stopped taking it did the color return to your skin and the hair quit falling out. I'm depressed over that. Been taking this for a couple of months. I take 1 .1 pill in the evening & a patch all day. I have bad heartburn, breathlessness & tiredness. I go to the dr's in a couple of days & I want off. I will carry it for emergency but that's it. I also take Benicar HCT 40/15. | Add Tenex review would like to know if this medication can be broke in half even though there is not a score line in it? my son is taking the 1mg po BID My little girl has Autism,Sensory processing disorder, and ADHD.I was so worried about her taking a medication. She has been on Tenex for a little over a week.WOW! Such a great difference!. She went from having 4~ 20 minute meltdowns everyday to mabey 3 small ones since she has started taking it...We have a pharmacy in town that made a special compound liquid form so all we have to do is put it her juice twice a day! She is so happy and mellow...Her poor brain was always racing....Now she is just chill.... My daughters doctor put her on this medication when her other medication was not working.The dr said to give her a half of a pill for morning and half for noon for the first week. The first day she was breathing hard and very loud and sleeping when she was not sleeping she was very winy. The second day same thing but worse. I called her doctor and they have not called me back will not be giving this to my child anymore. | |||
