Is Clonidine an effective treatment for PTSD symptoms? What evidence supports its use in reducing hyperarousal and intrusive thoughts in affected individuals?
Clonidine, an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, has shown efficacy in reducing hyperarousal and intrusive thoughts in PTSD patients by modulating adrenergic activity. Studies suggest it may help stabilize the sympathetic nervous system, mitigating symptoms.
