Oral Guanabenz for Multiple Sclerosis Background: - People with multiple sclerosis (MS) get lesions in their brain and spinal cord. These cause neurological symptoms and sometimes disability. Researchers want to see if a blood pressure drug called guanabenz can repair lesions and help people with MS. Objective: - To see if guanabenz is safe and well tolerated in people with MS. Eligibility: - People 18 55 years old with MS who have taken glatiramer acetate for the past year. Design: - Participants will be screened in a separate protocol. For 2 months, they will be examined and have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. This will decide if they are in the Stable or Active MS study group. - The study will last 5 months. There will be up to 11 visits, 5 overnight. - Visit 1: overnight stay at the clinic: - Medical history and physical exam. - Health questionnaire - Bladder ultrasound scan - Brain MRI - Electrocardiogram (EKG) to measure heart electrical activity - Blood will be drawn through an intravenous (IV) line. - Participants may have tests of strength, muscle tone, and movement. - They will get their first dose of the study drug, a tablet taken once a day. - Participants will take the study drug at home and keep a medicine diary. - The dose will slowly increase. Each time, participants will stay overnight at the clinic. They will have a physical exam, EKG, MRI, and IV blood draw. - Visit 6: Participants will have a physical exam, MRI, and blood drawn. They will get a schedule to slowly lower their drug dose and stop taking guanabenz. - Participants will have 2 final visits. They will have a physical exam, EKG, MRI, and IV blood draw.
