Comments from related studies:
From this study (3 years ago):
Never had a problem with regularity or weight gain till now. I basically live on
nuts, seeds and fruit and exercise regularly. (hypertension is hereditary). Have
experienced 8 pound weight gain and constant constipation. Increased my fiber
and now painful gas problems. Actually like the reduced hof flashes. Will it be
safe to try digestive enzymes while taking clonidine? Have tried them for three
days and it actually worked beautifully. I dropped two pounds and felt like myself
again. Would like to continue but wondered if anyone has heard about the safety
of using enzymes or herbal remedies while taking clonidine.
