Does anyone have any views on clonidine. I was prescribed for high BP and hot flushes. I also have a MVP. Still getting palpitations.

Clonidine for hot flushes
Hope you get more info.My hot flushes and sweats are getting me down and GP just shrugged her shoulders!
I was prescribed this last week for hot flashes 2 tabs morn and night. Not felt any reduction in sweats. I went back yesterday and she increased it to 2 tabs, three times a day. I’m desperate for it to work, the sweating is horrible it pours down through my hair and down my face. So embarrassing! Please let me know how you get on x
Is the medication you're taking for menopausal hot flushes?
I'm interested in your post because I still get horrendous hot flushes 15 years post menopause. At least I assume they're menopause related. I have Afib.
I had a consultation with a gynecologist last month and she's prescribed low-dose HRT patches but apparently there's a shortage of this, no supplies expected till mid September.
I average 4 flushes an hour, 24/7. They're debilitating and at times make me dizzy and feel faint. I hate them, they're a blight on my life. So I sympathize with you.
Dr says I can’t have HRT. It would only be Estrogen in my case as I’ve had a hysterectomy. I agree the flushes are debilitating and embarrassing if you are in company. I also tried black cohosh (herbal) but it was hopeless too. There just seems there is nothing to help!
