Clonidine
"I was prescribed .05 mg twice a day (half a .1 mg tablet in a.m. and p.m.) for night sweats associated with early perimenopause. It worked perfectly with no side effects and I could again sleep through the nights. I took clonidine for approximately 9 months then went off the medication for 3 years. This year the night sweats came back and I've resumed taking the same dose of clonidine with the same wonderful results. It is a minimally invasive solution for a very disruptive problem."
