I have been on clonodine for almost three months now, with no problems. not only has it regulated my bloodpressure, but my hot flashes which were horrible, are almost nonexistent. The dry mouth comes from not drinking enough water. You have to drink 6 to 8 glasses a day.

Just so you all know this, clonidine is used by sleep researchers to destroy REM sleep in lab rats. I gather that for some folks sleep does not become an issue, but I didn't sleep more than two full nights during the entire 9 months or so I took this filth. On average, I only got 2-3 hours, which was devastating. I also had perpetual sinus congestion, the worst I could imagine. And my eyesight was compromised. Everything got better, dramatically, when I was eased off this drug (my eyesight, however, has never returned to the 20/20 I had before, and in fact is pretty mediocre now). However, don't try going off this drug on your own, or fast. You must EASE off it over a period of weeks or more, else you could have a potentially fatal BP rebound into hypertensive crisis.

Clonidine Chemical Information

clonidine hydrochloride - The hydrochloride salt form of clonidine, an imidazoline derivate and centrally-acting alpha-adrenergic agonist as well as antagonist with antihypertensive activity. Clonidine hydrochloride binds to and stimulates central alpha2-adrenergic receptors, thereby decreasing sympathetic outflow to the heart, kidneys, and peripheral vasculature. The reduction in sympathetic outflow, leads to decreased peripheral vascular resistance, decreased blood pressure, and decreased heart rate.
