Anyone out there on Guanfacine?

That’s amazing. Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s something I’ve considered. I have a consultation with a new-to-my-clinic PA, who’s supposedly “very passionate” about long covid and I planned to ask her about it.
If you don’t mind sharing, have you experienced any side effects and did you need to titrate your dose?

The only side effect I’ve noticed is reduced blood pressure, which is a good thing for me. I was able to lower the dose on one of my blood pressure medications. It’s possible that it has caused some dizziness, but I’ve been dizzy with long Covid for years, so I can’t say for sure if the Guanfacine made any difference to that.
For the dosage I started at 1mg/day, and after a few weeks went to 2mg.
