It's a BP drug. I've been having very labile BP...up, down and all around
they've run tests to check for what's causing it, and other than elevated metanephrines ( not elevated enough to suggest adrenal tumor) we've come up with nothing. Tried several different bp meds...nothing stabilizes it.
So my GP is a smart guy, and says let's assume it's autonomic and prescribes Clonidine which is issued for autonomic dysreflexia (which isn't my problem, but is an autonomic issue.)
Well it's working great so far. Interesting thing is, when googling the drug, I found out it was tried in the 90's for MS spasticity. Nowadays they prescribe is for all sort of off label reasons...ADHD, Tourettes, Panic disorder.
Just wondering if anyone else has ever taken this med for bp issues?
