I took Clonidine orally & had no problems.
As far as I'm concerned, if your doctor feels
It is safe for. Your blood pressure (not too Low)
I'd go for it.
For me the Voltaren was a disaster. It always
Amazes me how doctors want you to "Rub" something
On the most painful spot of your body.
In my opinion Clonidine Orally ( so the dosage
Can be adjusted easily) - YES ...... Voltaren Gel/Cream
- NO !
I've had RSD 8.5 years and tried MANY
medications.

I would like to know if some of you, RSD pain patients, use clonidine patches for their RSD. If yes, what is the role of these patches? Pain control? Something else? Thanks for your information.
P.S. Clonidine patches, called Catapress in the USA, are usually used against hypertension, but they might have one or several off-label uses for one symptom or another of RSD.
