I was on hormones for years and my doctor, who is from Canada, put me on
clonidine and it has been a miracle drug
for the hot flashes with almost no side affects.
Clonidine has also been used to reduce menopausal flushing, to treat postherpetic neuralgia, to treat ulcerative colitis, and to diagnose pheochromocytoma.
Clonidine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
