Clonidine, beta blockers, Moxonodine

[Guest guest]

This should interest to those who are using clonidine or beta

blockers. Dr Nase has advised in his book that he found moxonodine to

be more effective than clonidine, with less side effects (eg

sedation), for SNS mediated flushing. Moxonodine is a little known

drug. Rick has already posted some remarks about moxonodine in a

previous post. He also posted a link, but I noticed that the link was

truncated. I'm going to paste Rick's comments about moxonodine below.

Further information is in Dr Nase's book, page 166.

The following is courtesy of Rick, message# 26975. If the link

truncates here as well, copy the entire URL and paste it into your

" (2) MOXONODINE: Geoffrey personally used this successfully, and its

value lies in its more precise targeting of sns activity than

clonidine, without the usual side effects of clonidine. It certainly

is not well publicized elsewhere. I had to search a while to finally

find following source:

I have had some success in mitigating flushing with Xanax, and am

going to pursue moxonodine since I believe my flushing is

sns-mediated. "

Thanks Rick.

Hello everyone,

I received the following questions in an email, I'll just paste the

text in case others are wondering:

" I tried the link, but it isn't working. What is SNS mediated

flushing? "

The link was truncated; the remainder of the URL is on line 2 of the

link but is not active. To use the URL, copy BOTH LINES of the URL

and paste the complete URL into the address (URL) box of your

browser, then hit Enter. The link is in my original message on this

topic.

SNS mediated flushing: The sympathetic nervous system exacerbates

flushing. This is likely to be a factor for the majority of those

with flushing problems. Rather than go into detail here, I'm going to

include a link to section of the cea-LTD site which describes SNS

flushing in detail. *This* is a short link so there should be no

problem with wraparound link truncation, which was the case

previously. Anyway, here's that link:

Hi Jim,

I've used moxonidine, which I'm able to obtain from the UK since it's still

not approved for use in North America, but unfortunately I found it to be

less effective for my flushing than clonidine. I do know of others in the

UK who have had more success with it, and it's definitely worth a try for

those who can get hold of it.
