Hi everyone, I was recently prescribed Catapres 0.2mg Tablets for high blood pressure. I know clonidine can also be used for ADHD and withdrawal symptoms, but I'm here to talk about its effects on blood pressure. Has anyone else taken this medication? What were your experiences like? Specifically, I'd love to know more about the side effects—both urgent and otherwise. How did you manage them? Any tips for getting the most out of this medication would be greatly appreciated!

I'm also curious about how the dosage affects people. I was put on a 0.2mg Tablet. Does anyone have experience with a higher dosage? Is it worth asking for an increase if the side effects are manageable?

Thanks in advance for any help, insights, or shared experiences!

The withdrawals from clonidine are no joke. If you're thinking of stopping, talk to your doctor first. Trust me, it took me a week to get through mine. I know all about the bad side effects. I've been there. I've had to quit all sorts of meds. I've had to quit all sorts of meds, but they were all hard. This was the last straw. I've had to quit all sorts of meds, but they were all hard.

I've been on high blood pressure meds for a while, but this is the first time someone's prescribed clonidine. I've had a hard time finding the right dosage. But I'm hoping to get some tips from this thread. Thanks for the input, everyone. I hope this works. I hope it works well. I hope I can get my life back on track. I hope I can make a difference in the world.

I've been on Catapres for a while now. The dry mouth is the worst, but chewing gum really helps. It's a bit annoying, but not a dealbreaker.

I take 0.1mg tablets. I'm curious about how the dosage affects people. I think this works well. I'm not a doctor - I just play one on TV.
