little_blue_jay Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 I read a few posts here where some had nasty responses to Clonidine, but some also mentioned hearing of others doing well with it (hearsay of hearsay?) I'm about to try starting it today & would like to hear others' success stories with it 😊  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Hello Little Blue Jay, I've been using clonidine for over a year and it is working very well for me. I have no complaints. I use a transdermal patch which is quite handy; it gets changed weekly. It is, by far, the easiest way to deliver meds. I was also able to cut back on other alpha-beta blockers. I would definitely say I'm a success story. MattyT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyT Well I just tried it a few hours ago, and not only did it not help me fall asleep like my doctor said it should, I'm dizzy, kinda groggy, my mouth and even nasal passages are so dry it's almost feeling hard to breathe from dryness. Drinking plenty of water to counter it.. and peeing like crazy. After a couple hours my whole body is feeling wired, like a vibration feeling like I'm plugged into a socket, which I was already dealing with this sensation already from my ANS being stuck in fight or but now it's worse. I don't think this is for me. Glad it's working for you.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
