[No name22]

How long does the effect of clonidine last, because I just made a apt. w/my dr for tomarrow and told them everything in a nutshell so I can get a script...I just don't want to take one B4 I go in and have my BP be ok.

yes and yes, but there nowhere near as bad as when I was taking oc's everyday I only woke up 2-3 time last night....Thank you if no one knows not a big deal, I proabably shouldn't take them and drive anyways...I take a half of a .1mg and get sleepy

[road2recovery]

does any body know if blood pressure goes up with w/ds mine has been high now 4 10 days before i quit the vics it was always 120/80.u all are great people here

[road2recovery]

YES...Blood pressure goes up during w/d's, even tapering for me my blood pressure went up..i have read where that is what causes alot of the goose bumps, sweats, then cold...that is why clonodine works so well, because it is presribed for high blood pressure..
