dancesintherain Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hi all, Might have to get creative at next pdoc appointment and was wondering about clonidine. I'm curious about your experience with any of the below; 1) trauma-related nightmares (or I'll take nightmares generally speaking if it ditches them) 2) psychosis 3( mania prevention and treatment Also, any nasty side effects I should be aware of? Or typical side effects that most people get? Many thanks, dances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancesintherain Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 side note==or is it clozaril that i'm thinking of? i think clozaril is the one with the white blood cell issue, but I get the two mixed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryp Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Clonidine is a blood pressure pill used for sometimes anxiety/ptsd. Clozaril is the antipsychotic with the white blood cell thing l. Not sure which you meant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancesintherain Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Darn. I think in my head I thought there was one that did both because that's what I need...antinightmare that doesn't lower blood pressure so I could try fanapt (since it's low on Pseudo parkinsonian syndrome likelihood but my understanding is it lowers blood pressure). My blood pressure is already low enough because of prazosin and I don't want to give up the nightmare relief unless it's to another drug that helps with it. thanks for the clarification.

dancesintherain Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 was definitely thinking of some sort of anti-nightmare, anti-manic, anti-psychotic drug. sounds idyllic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
