I worry about the use of a medication used to calm anger/aggression in children, treat anxiety and with a side effect of sedation being distributed to the public as a blood pressure medication. Here's an example of a study on adolescents.I feel like the gov often just wants to sedate us. Aren't there enough blood pressure meds out there already?
I read recently that SSRIs' used for depression actually had no significant impact on that illness. Yet so many Americans are on Antidepressants.
Clonidine cannot be taken with antidepressents, so this looks like a strategy to net as many of the remaining 64% of the population not on them with 'calming' agents like Clonidine.
