[rsrch]

Anbody use CATAPRES (CLONIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE) to combat the water retention from HGH?

[STEEDA69]

I use Catapres(clonodine HCL) BUT not for HGH H2O retention!??!??? It's NOT a diuretic, so I'm not sure it has the ability to reduce edema period!

I came across this,and wondered if anybody has had experience with it?

Dr. David Lee Speer wrote :Growth hormone makes ADH go up, and as a direct effect of this, water retention goes up, which causes higher blood pressure. ADH is dose dependent of GH, which is why you have to drop the dose if blood pressure goes up too high, until your circulatory system adjusts to handle it. This is the only bad side effect of an otherwise very good dose of growth hormone.

"Clonidine" is the safest high blood pressure medicine. It causes no side effects, and no impotency of any kind. It is indicated if you have high blood pressure due to ADH.
