Abstract A retrospective chart analysis was conducted on all new elderly hypertensive patients referred to a community hypertension clinic who were being treated with either reserpine or alpha-methyldopa plus a diuretic. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Hypotension
Surprisingly no or mild postural hypotension is seen. This is because centrally acting drugs do not produce postural hypotension. Baroreceptor sensitivity is increased even further (some spare baroreceptors). [howmed.net]
Drug: Diuretics, other hypotensive agents compound hypotensive effects; cardiac glycosides (digoxin) may increase risk of arrhythmias; mao inhibitors may cause excitation and hypertension; cns depressants compound depression; may decrease response to [robholland.com]
Side effects were mild to moderate in severity, and there were no cases of profound hypotension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Suicidal Ideation
Suicidal ideation has been reported. Reserpine-induced depression is quickly reversible if therapy is withdrawn as soon as the syndrome is recognized, but can persist for several months after drug discontinuation if the syndrome fully develops. [drugs.com]

It is also used to treat severe agitation in patients with mental disorders. It works by decreasing the amounts of certain chemicals in the brain. [medindia.net]
It also is used to treat severe agitation in patients with mental disorders. Reserpine is in a class of medications called rauwolfia alkaloids. [nlm.nih.gov]

From California's Modesto State Hospital came enthusiastic reports of success in using reserpine (TIME, June 21) to calm down the most disturbed patients in the back wards, and to lift the most depressed out of their lethargy, thus making both types more [time.com]

Workup
A free-radical cyclisation with tributylstannane in refluxing t-butanol and subsequent workup led to an epimeric mixture that was equilibrated with base to the desired isomer 9.6G. [chemwiki.ucdavis.edu]
Treatment
These findings suggest that treatment with a combination of different antihypertensives with different modes of action in low doses is a rational alternative to conventional monotherapy in the first-line treatment of hypertension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
