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.

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.

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 effectiveness of this drug. My last eight BP readings, at various times before and after taking Clonidine, have averaged 114/68. If you have stubborn high BP that hasn't responded well to other high BP drugs, you may want to give this one a try.

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.

The only problem incurred was an extremely dry mouth. At times,I could barely talk and had to use Biotene to help moisten my mouth. It became such a problem that I had to change to snother medicine to control my blood pressure. I had been on Clonidine, four times a day, for several years.
