If I put the patch on and take my oral meds. at the same time, I get a very severe case of orthostatic hypotension. Then the last 2 days of the patch my BP begins to rise to higher levels than the first few days of the use of the patch.

I have had a terrible reaction to this medicine. Catapres-TTS-2 caused severe depression, where I experienced hatred and temper which I have never had in my life.

Started with Catapres TTS2 patches which sometimes came off but the overlay would eliminate problems and the medication delivery was consistent either way. Dropped BP an additional 20-30 points! Switched to generic Clonidine patch which never stayed on even with overlay. Would recommend sticking with Catapres TTS unless you are sedintary and don't sweat or move much. I also take Minoxidil (10mg) x2, Metoprolol Succ ER (100mg), Ramipril (10mg), Hydrochlorothiazide (25mg), Potassium CL ER (20MEQ) x2, Nexium (40mg) and have no obvious side effects from anything other than lower blood pressure, from 220/110 to 130/80.Read More Read Less

Very Satisfied, but do not get the generic brand as the patch did not stick to my skin; even with the overlay patch. Had to replace after 1 day and then the next one still did not stick. Stick with name brand-no generic.

Yes the medication works, but when the made the patch bigger it increased my itching 200%. Can't you guys find a glue that doesn't itch so bad and causes me scars from scratching. The only reason I tolerate this side effect is because it also helps with my smoking cessation and HOT FLASHES. As you can see I am taking it a for all three of the main reasons stated in the condition drop down menu.

After almost a year of trying various meds for HBP this one finally is doing the job. Easy to use and no side effects as of first 5 months of use.

This worked great, and I had been on many meds before that did nothing. The only thing is that I have so many allergies that after 4 weeks I had blisters under the patch and had to switch to Clonidine which is the same thing, only pill form and I have to take it more times a day. I would definetly still be on the patch if I could.
