B blcokers or Clonidine post HGH cycle?

[justwannagetsum]

I noticed in medical lit how B blockers and clonidine (alpha II agonist) Cause GH levels to increase if they wouldnt be good post HGH to stimualte natural levels of GH again. Maybe they work at the Hypothalmic level?

Do you know that if you take beta blockers and clonidine at the same time and you're not careful how you come off one one or the other, or both, you run the risk of a "cerebrovascular accident." Cerebral accident means death by the way. Pharmaceuticals are not candy from a candy store there for one to pick and choose, they can be dangerous and even life threatening especially when taken in combination with other pharmaceuticals. What you don't know can kill you.

Withdrawal: Sudden cessation of clonidine treatment, regardless of the route of administration, hours in some cases, resulted in symptoms such as nervousness, agitation, headache, and tremor, accompanied or followed by a rapid rise in blood pressure. The likelihood of such reactions appears to be greater after administration of higher doses or with concomitant beta-blocker treatment. Special caution is therefore advised in these situations. Rare instances of hypertensive encephalopathy, cerebrovascular accidents and death have been reported after abrupt clonidine withdrawl. Patients with a history of hypertension and/or other underlying cardiovascular conditions may be at risk of the consequences of abrupt discontinuation of clonidine. In the pivotal double-blind, randomized cancer pain study, four of 38 subjects receiving 720 mcg of clonidine per day experienced rebound hypertension following abrupt withdrawl. One of these patients with rebound hypertension subsequently experienced a cerebrovascular accident.

You are correct. I wasnt suggesting take them together. One or the other. In like .02 mg a night of clonidine...... But I do get your point.

B-blockers are harmless from a danger point-of-view, however, they have some side effects that no BB'er is interested in. Clonidine, IMO is dangerous and should not be taken if not absolutely necessary. Even w/o concomitant beta-blocker usage Clonidine withdrawal can be a problem. I say avoid them both even when taken alone.
