User Reviews for Clonidine

clonidine: Using 0.05mg morning and again late afternoon for hot flushes (menopause). The hot flushes have definitely abated. Dry mouth, for sure, but that makes me drink more water, which I need to do anyway.

clonidine: It left me with a very dry mouth, racy heart beat, insomnia and slight dizziness.

clonidine: I was prescribed a combination of Clonidine and Celexa to get rid of my Hot Flashes as I did not want to take Hormones. (Weight gain possibility and the fact I'd already been on them since I was 29, I'm 47) It works!! But when you first take Clonidine, you are so tired you cannot keep your eye's open. I literally could not, if my life depended on it, stay awake for ANYTHING. I was on one in the morning, one in the evening. I had to take them both just before bed. At first you are so thirsty and dry mouth you can barely stand it. It does all pass once you get used to it.

clonidine: I was prescribed clonidine by my Doctor for hot flashes, one in the morning and one in the evening. It was amazing for the first year, until the pharmacy changed labs and bought a different pill, supposedly same dosage, but the pill is a different color, shape and lettering on it. It does nothing for me anymore! I've asked the pharmacy to purchase the original pill from the original lab. They claim they are all the same....my body knows it is NOT. I am still taking it otherwise I would have 15 hot flashes a day, instead I only have 8 to 10.

clonidine: I went through surgical menopause due to a TAH/BSO in July 2010. Withing days I was having 24-30 hotflashes/night sweats every 24 hours. Because I had stage IV endometriosis, HRT was not advised. I read about clonidine, and asked my doctor if I could give the clonidine patch a try. It has worked very well for me--I'd say I've seen a 70% reduction in hot flashes. I no longer wake up at night and those I do experience during the day are definitely less intense than before the clonidine.

clonidine: I've recently started using clonidine. I am experiencing dry mouth and tiredness. However I also feel my mood has changed. I feel down and anxious. Not sure whether I should continue or give up.
