high blood pressure
"Five days after I began using the Clonidine patch, I started having terrible side effects.  These included extreme dizziness, constipation, diarrhea, and a hard bloated stomach.   I immediately discontinued the patch after using it for 6 days.  These effects are still continuing to a lesser degree almost two months later.  My hair also stopped growing, but started to regrow after a month.
My blood pressure did go down, but it wasn't worth it!  

The owner at my local health food store recommended that I try taking Beet Root - 2 pills twice a day.  My blood pressure is now normal and I'm having no side effects!"
