User Comments about Moxonidine
25 Apr 2012 Has a mild reduction on blood pressure but although is's supposed to be benign, I have experienced a few unpleasant quality of life effects. It turns out to be a drug with the usual scattergun effect so I no longer take it.

10 Apr 2012 It has caused me to suffer anxiety/panic attacks, which I have never suffered from before. I have just stopped taking it and wonder how long it will take for the Moxonidine side effects to leave my body.

04 Feb 2012 This drug has been accepted with no detectable side effects. Difficult to assess its effectiveness as it is taken with an angiotensin 2 receptor antagonist - losartan potassium 100 mg.

06 Jan 2012 This was the last treatment prescribed after calcium blockers swelled my lower extremities and had ghout after my other treatments. . I felt better with bendroflurazide but after gout which I had been prone to (my first attack at 18 after a glass of port!) My GP would not prescribe again for me. But my blood pressure was down to 135 with benfdrofuazide. Which I would prefer to go back to and put up with the severe pain of GOUT!! The side effcts of Monoxidine do not improve my life- tired of feeling unwell etc
