clonidine

[Hrosenkrantz]

Hi -- has anyone whose kids are rxed clonidine found that the kids lose their ability to tolerate it after a while?

My child has been on regular and extended release, both of which seemed to work well, but after a period, i found it was knocking him out/sedating him.

I tried stopping the clonidine but I saw a return of significant hyperactivity without it.

I'm just wondering if this is typical with clonidine.

Hi,

 

This was prescribed to us for sleep...worked too well. Currently not using.

Kiddo takes this for a tremor unrelated to pandas. So far, so good (6 months). We had somnolence to start with, but as we titrated up she adjusted and no issues now.
