"I have been taking clonidine for 10 years now. I am 63 this year, yes I started hit flushes when I was 32 which seem to be a family thing. I used to take two at night for number of years, then just one past 3 years then went down to just half of the 25mgs and I have been doing this for around 6 weeks now. Hot flushes are hitting me bad now, needed to come off them because only got around 3-4hours sleep a night due nightmares all the time. I feel so strange trying to come off due to the dizziness and strange feeling that keeps passing through my body which is horrible and causing a lot of anxiety now. I feel so strange in my self."

"I've been suffering for 20 years with the most horrible of menopausal symptoms. I've been through the mill and back after sterilization. My pharmacist recommended minograin. I've been taking it for 2 days now and for the first time, I'm feeling normal, no flushes. Just dry mouth and dizziness, sometimes numb fingers. Great product. I would recommend it."

"After the first dose Clonidine worked for me. I had to up the dose a little, but then no more hot flushes. I also have to mention that I was on Lyrica 300 mg twice a day and started titrating down. When I was finally off the Lyrica is when the hot flashes started. I was on Lyrica for something else and I didn't know I was having hot flashes as Lyrica is one of the meds that they give you for hot flushes. I went back on the Lyrica and had to go right back up to my regular dose and I was still having hot flushes. Then I started Clonidine. Wow. Took everything away. I can drink or eat hot or spicy foods without fear of a HF. I can even soak in a hot bath again. My hope is that I might be able to titrate down the Lyrica again as far as I can go if the Clonidine will work as well without the Lyrica."
