Medications for treatment of flushing...

[Guest guest]

I went to see my internist who specializes in facial flushing. He

prescribed Clonidine, half of .1 mg. once per day. As I'm taking it for the

past three days I fell very sleepy and groggy. The doctor also wanted to

try Trifilin or Ketotifen. I know Ketotifin is manufactured in Canada and

is a new, powerful antihistamine which works with much success. Has anyone

had this reaction to Clonidine and may have any suggestions to its use or any

other comments with regard to the above mentioned medications. Your

comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
