Suggest Ways To Manage The Side Effects Of Klonopin
Question: the doctor said she was going to give me klonopin for high blood pressure and I am to take it if my blood pressure gets high. I am allergic or have had bad side effects from all blood pressure medications I have tried.
Brief Answer:
Clonidine vs Klonopin
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Klonopin is a rather strange medication to treat Blood Pressure. I believe you mean "Clonidine?" Is that right? Clonidine is in a different drug class then Verapamil, and as such is likely to have different side effects. It is unusual to be allergic to all types of Blood Pressure meds, as many medications have a completely different chemical makeup and mechanism of action. As such Clonidine acts very differently from Verapamil. I would suggest you to speak with your physician about this just to be sure. I wish you the best of Luck.
Regards,
