Clonidine Vs. Enalapril

Updated

Been on 20mg/day of Enalapril. Then resently given a 0.2mg Clonidine patch. My blood pressure went "way" down. Should Dr. have checked first before giving me the Clonidine patch? Have stopped Enalapril while on "withdrawls" (pain med).

What are you asking about him checking? Your blood pressure?

Did the doctor tell you to stop the Enalapril? Because suddenly stopping it could cause a rebound effect, which might result in severely elevated blood pressure.

Thanks for the reply. However, you didn't read my question fully. No, I'm not asking to have my BP checked! Should he be giving me Clonidine when I'm using Enalapril?? What effect will BOTH have?
