In reply to Anybody tried clonidine (Catapres) for depression?, posted by SLS on October 11, 2001, at 10:15:06
> Drugs like Remeron that block NE alpha-2 receptors seem to make my depression worse. I'm wondering if a drug like clonidine would help. It does the opposite of Remeron. It stimulates NE alpha-2 receptors.
It's worth a try, I think. I've heard of people using it for PTSD symptoms (nightmares in particular) and childhood ADHD (it seems to work well in combination with stimulants for this).
