****Clonidine Question******

[NautyOne]

Long story short.  My doctor switched my Ativan to Clonidine 0.01 for my PMDD night sweats.  Has anyone ever taken it for this reason?  Did it work, and is 0.01 a low dose.  I am afraid to take it because I don't have high BP.  Just curious and nervous about taking it.  

thanks,

I take the natural estorgen supps when i have the sweats but mine happen during the day as well....i also have the prescribed estogen as well and both work for me....there is also prenpro available....have u ever tried a hormone replacement verses clonidine for menopause?  i have just never heard of it as a first option

Hey !  I just realized something !  My night sweats came back when I stopped taking the Clonodine.  I'm getting the hot flashes from menopause real bad at times. They came back a few weeks ago and I never put 2 and 2 together.  I stopped taking the Clonodine about 2 weeks ago.   I never heard of it being taken for this reason, but your post made me think.  I would start with just a half of a pill. I've never taken a whole. They really help me sleep.
