High Blood Pressure
"This is a very effective medication but with extreme side effects. It is very short-lived and requires dividing the prescribed dosage into 3 times a day to avoid blood pressure spikes. It leaves you feeling &quot;high&quot; and sedated. Absolutely do not discontinue it abruptly. Stopping it abruptly causes your blood pressure to rebound even higher than it was before for several days.

A better choice in this class is Guanfacine, which for me is even more effective and does not have the radical side effects."
