Why aren't you still on the dibenzyline ? The occassional day sweats and overwhelming night sweats (yes, I'm a woman of a "certain" age, but, no, I am not menopausal) are a drag.
I have high blood pressure, currently well controlled with a beta blocker, but if I could get that EXTRA benefit from switching to an alpha blocker, that would be cool.
*****very personal, don't read if you are easily offended/grossed out*****
Did you notice issues with the possible side effect of trouble with having orgasms ? I have no, um, "social" life right now, but I do have this fantasy life about finding love again post divorce. Not having night sweats would be a plus, but that might be a tough trade off....

I took it for around 4 months. It us very expensive ( about $800 for a 30 day supply). My insurance did cover it though. It is listed on the drug info that it can cause cancer or raise risk. So I went off it. My night sweats are minimal now. Before I started taking it I woke up basically every night soaked in sweat and having to change my clothes, etc. My shocking pains are view now as well... strange. I'm not sure if the dibenzyline" fixed" those issues or if the RSD just decided to stop those things for the time being. I know there are a couple other blood pressure type medications along the same lines as the dibenzyline that are suggested, but I am not sure on the names. They also just had come out with a generic when I had stopped taking it, but the pharmacy wasn't able to get it yet.
As far as the other question I have no umm social life to speak of so it is difficult to give an answer on that
