Can Clonidine Lose Its Ability To Lower Blood Pressure Over Time
Updated
Buffy Says:
I've been on the clonidine 0.2mg transdermal for almost a year with very good results. For about 2 wks now my bp has been around 150/90. Could the clonidine be losing effect on my bp? Before starting clonidine my bp was 200/110 and hr was 140 for weeks. Lisinopril 40mg did nothing but give me severe nausea and diarrhea.

Hello, Buffy! How are you?
Yes, your body will eventually get used to anything that you ingest for a long period of time and it will no longer be as effective. Sometimes it takes years for some people, but for others it may take only a few months.
The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and insomnia.
Have you informed your doctor?
