My GP warned me about this med and said, don't take it. Went to my cardiologist and have been on generic Toprol 200mg daily then he added this med 0.1mg morning and night. I've been taking this awful med for 2 mths. now and have such severe constipation. Lack of sleep and urinary incontinence. Gradually stopping this med. Now only taking one at night and will get off this asap!

On six different BP meds which rarely drop my pressure below 140/85. Started taking clonidine.1mg about two months ago. BP dropped to an average 10 points on both sides. Reduced meats from diet, now getting readings below 120/70. Waiting to see if this remains consistent, but it has been the most affective drug I've used over 20 years. I only take it at night due to zapping my energy levels.

Started taking 0.10 mg 3x per day August 2016. Experienced dry mouth, terrible nightmares, bad attitude. Backed off all blood pressure meds (with help from Doctor) One 0.10 mg Clonidine in the morning only helped maintain pressures at 145/70/70. Stopped Clonidine started Cardizem 120 mg 2x per day as an alternative to Clonidine. Only have a few days history but so far ok. Pressures still at 140/70 ... Show Full Comment

I have been taking blood pressure meds for 40 years and am convinced the less meds you can get by on the better you are.

HBP (white-coat) at the doctor's or in some stressful situations, but normal or low at home. Also, going through menopause. Already taking 2 BP meds and 1 anti-anxiety med, but BP still high at the doctor or hospital or certain situations like a spousal argument. So far, this med works for high-stress situations. Not tested yet at the dr whom I'm seeing again this summer, so we will see if ... Show Full Comment

Gives me dry mouth so I only take it at night. I tried others but went back to this because it worked wonderful. During the day my mouth got so dry that I couldn't handle it, but it's wonderful when I only take it at night. I take Metaprolol during the day if it gets above 140.
