clonidine: My 14 year old son has ADHD. He was diagnosed 8 years ago. He was prescribed Vyvanse in May 2008. It wasn't working. He gained weight and inches. He couldn't sleep. He became aggressive and lazy. His heart began to race and his old tics returned. We were referred to a psychologist. He prescribed clonidine. His failing grades went to A's. It controlled his moods, calmed his heart, and the tics disappeared. Also he sleeps well now. We are thrilled. He is also more organized.

Catapres (clonidine): I used it to come off of oxycodone and it helped some. My doctor continued it as an adjunct to my ADHD medicines and it was a nice mellow touch. Discontinued after a year; I take enough medicines as it is.

Catapres (clonidine): MY SON HAS BEEN ON THIS FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS, AS WELL AS VYVANSE. IT REALLY CALMS HIM DOWN SO HE CAN GO TO BED AND GET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP! HE USED TO HAVE NIGHTMARES, BUT SINCE HES BEEN ON THIS MEDICATION, HE HASN'T HAD ONE! AGAIN I THANK THE MAKERS OF THESE WONDER DRUGS AND I KNOW MY SON THANKS YOU ALL AS WELL!
