Weary, I am so sorry about the email you received from me that was not meant for you. I sent this to my son David last week. How it ended up going to you, I can’t figure out. Still trying to find out. I am sorry.

How low a dose are you on?
-
Hi Weary, how rude of that nurse to say that! You know I had 2mini strokes because of blood pressure. That was no fun. Clonidine did work for me in that it does bring blood pressure down fast and calms you down. Why don’t you try it? Your pressure is dangerously high!
-
My experience with high blood pressure is I had two mini strokes because of it! Please take it seriously, go to the er to get help. Mini tropes are nothing to play around with. The drs there put me on lisinipril, amopoline, and Clonidine 0.1 mg. I stayed on acebutolol2 x’s a day the

What is a cycled vasoconstrictor-Clonidine?
-
I am so happy for the people who take ssri’s and it helped. It not only made my blood pressure lower it made my blood sugar super low. I am weaning off it now and I am very disappointed. My Dr did warn me, but I didn’t listen.

Hank you. I’m so confused!k.

I’m so sorry but I am having trouble understanding this. So, are ace inhibitors bad for autonomic neuropathy? Thank you.

Bradykinin-Powerful Vasodilator Broken Down By Ace

So... ace inhibitors are bad for pots? Am I understanding you correctly? -
Can I ask why you stopped the linispril?

What about ace inhibitors do they help with your pots or hurt

Is autonomic neuropathy the same as pots? I have low blood pressure in the mornings and it rises later in the day. Was on amitriptline for 10 years and liked it but after I had 2mini strokes because of high blood pressure, the drs in the hospital took me off fludrocortosone and amitriptline. I know why the cortisone, because it made my pressure super high, but can’t figure why the amitriptline. They said it made my pots worse, lowering my pressure more. Don’t know if this was true or not. Any experience anyone?
-
How do you tell the difference between hyperadregenic pots and another type of pots. My Dr said pots is pots. No help there.
-
Can you tell me how it’s helped? Thank you.

I know this is from 2010 but I am trying to figure out if Clonidine helped me be able to stand and walk around in the mornings cause my blood pressure is so low. When I took it, it seemed I didn’t have the problem with having to constantly sit down because of the blood pressure but I started having nightmares and chest pain so I weaned off. So, not sure if the pots in th morning is worse because I stopped or what. Does anyone have experience with this particular problem. Thank you for any suggestions.
-
Can someone tell me. Does Clonidine help Pots or not? Really like to know anyone’s experience or info. Weaned off it and now suffering serious anxiety even though I am on Lexipro nd that was working fine.
-
Thank you, Wintersown. I appreciate your help.
-
Thanks. Think the anxiety will go away soon?
-
Wintersown, I am having the worst time weaning off Clonidine 0.1. Following my drs taper, experiencing the worst anxiety I have ever been thru.you seem to have lots of experience and help people, do you know how I can cope with this and how long it will go on? I took it along with other blood pressure meds for 6 weeks, 0.1 mg and now I was told to cut it in half. Like I said, anxiety terrible and can not sleep. Please help! Thank you.

Is everyone with Hyper POTS on Clonidine?
Claire replied to jamesldavis1's topic in Dysautonomia Discussion
Wondering what your experience was getting off Clonidine, was it difficult? -
Could anyone tell me their experience with taking Clonidine 0.1 2 s a day and Lexipro. I read here that the Clonidine stops the SSRI from working, is this true?
-
I had 2 mini strokes and was hospitalized because of that. It made my blood pressure very high so they weaned me off immediately and started me on Lexipro the same day. They told me never to take it again, as I would have another stroke and this time it would be worse. Right now, after weeks of weaning, I am now Florine free for a week and a half but boy is my blood pressure low. I don’t know what to do about this and am hoping after a little time, it will come back up.
-
After weaning, did you your pressure go way down for a while and did It ever go back to normal numbers? After stopping, I am super low all day. Can’t live like this.
-
Does anyone have experience with how long Lexipro takes to kick in? I started with 2 weeks on 5 mg, and 3 weeks on 10. Is there anyone who has taken this and gotten results and how long did it take?
-
Ok. Totally weaned off the Florine’s one weeks ago and now my blood pressure is super low all day. My quality of life has just about come to an end and I have a special needs son to care for everyday, I.e. shower, shave etc. I am on Clonidine but it’s not helping. Suggestions anyone, or is my life over?
