I was curious to know if anyone has experienced weight loss with hypertension medication and if so, what medication are you on?

      Most antihypertensives have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and/or abdominal pain as common or less common adverse effects and this may possibly result in a minimal weight loss. But meds such as captopril (Capoten), clonidine (Catapres & Catapres-TTS), hydralazine (apresoline), ramipril (Altace) all have anorexia as a possible adverse effect.

      And minoxidil (Loniten) can cause weight gain.
